Bring the breezy coastal California style into your home.

“As a crossroads of culture, Santa Barbara style reflects a revival of Spanish colonial and European aesthetics, as well as an influence from traditional Mexican design elements,” explains interior designer and Phoenix Home & Garden Masters of the Southwest award winner Susan Hersker. “You’ll find a lot of white walls, arched openings, red tile roofs, wood beams and ironwork incorporated into the architecture.” For details and decor, look for “patterned Mexican or Spanish tiles on stair risers or murals,” she notes. “Santa Barbara color palettes are muted, with soft yellow and terra-cotta tones used for accents offset with deep blues, oranges and greens.” Get inspired by the quaint coastal town and impart the iconic Santa Barbara look in your own home with a collection of classic furnishings, finishes and accessories.
