2. CREATING SPACES THAT GROW WITH YOU
Currently, Breegan’s client portfolio consists of new and growing families in the Los Angeles area. “Maybe it’s because I’m a mom as well,” she suggests, having an understanding of what families need. She also gave us a little bit of insight on what she recommends for these type of homes. “I think one of the things I often do is remind them that their babies are going to grow very quickly,” she explains. “My 3 month old very quickly turned into a 3 year old, and their room needed to transform several times, and quickly.” For some families, these rooms will follow their children to high school. Opting for baby blues and pinks or décor featuring storks will only be appropriate for so long, Breegan recommends furniture for capturing the whimsy of childlike décor.

3. SIGNATURE STYLE
When asked how she would define her personal style, Breegan immediately recalled her signature vibe: “modern, approachable luxury.” She explains that having a little bit of glitz and glam is essential to her. She likes things that sparkle, but values the environment she grew up in. “I grew up a beach kid” she shares, “no shoes in the house, dogs always running around.” Having a home that feels livable with an approachable beach element is the most important to her. She does this by adding texture, clean modern lines, and a little bit of glam.
