Behind the Design: Our Speakeasy-Inspired Game Room (As Seen in Orange Coast Magazine)

We’re honored to share that one of our favorite projects was recently featured in Orange Coast Magazine.

This speakeasy-inspired game room was designed with entertaining at its core — but without leaning into anything overly themed or campy. From the very beginning, our goal was to create a space that felt elevated, timeless, and deeply connected to the rest of the home.

Inspired by the home’s Spanish-style architecture, we layered architectural detail through ornate window casings, anchored the room with a custom plaid wool carpet, and brought drama through lighting and contrast. A pair of chandeliers were chosen for balance and visual impact — and they’ve since become the homeowner’s favorite feature.

The space needed personality too. A Pac-Man game set the tone, and a custom neon sign adds a personal touch — something we always aim to capture in our work. For seating, a banquette-style couch and layered chairs kept things warm, inviting, and perfect for gathering.

We’re so grateful to our client for trusting us with this room — and to Orange Coast Magazine for telling the story so thoughtfully.
