There’s something particularly useful about seeing a designer’s work across more than one project. You begin to notice not only the individual spaces, but the way they approach materials, proportion, colour, architecture, and the people who will ultimately live in the home.

For our latest project features, we’re sharing not one but two projects by Tidal Interiors, a La Jolla-based interior design studio known for refined, tailored interiors that balance luxury with livability.

Tidal Interiors describes its approach as highly collaborative, adapting its work to the individual needs and style of each client while bringing a fresh, clean perspective to the process. Their portfolio reflects that philosophy, with each home feeling distinctly its own while maintaining an effortless sense of sophistication.

Costa Del Sol

Located in La Jolla, California, Costa Del Sol is a residential renovation completed by Tidal Interiors in collaboration with Island Architects and Royal Home Remodels, with photography by Andrew Giammarco.

The project has a polished coastal character, with a refined palette and a mix of warm, natural materials that give the home a relaxed but considered feel. Rather than relying on a single defining style, the interiors balance contemporary detailing with the easy elegance expected of a Southern California home.

Opal Offshore

Opal Offshore is a residential renovation in Pacific Beach, California, designed by Tidal Interiors with Oasis Architecture & Design, Inc. and photographed by Pixels & Pigment.

The home takes a more expressive approach to contemporary coastal design, pairing clean architectural lines with layered materials, colour, and distinctive furnishings. The result feels sophisticated without being overly formal—a home that embraces its seaside setting while allowing the interiors to have a personality of their own.

A Closer Look at Tidal Interiors

Together, these two projects offer a glimpse into the range of Tidal Interiors' work and the studio's ability to create homes that feel both highly designed and deeply personal.

For homeowners considering a renovation or custom home, looking through a designer's portfolio can be one of the best ways to understand how they work. Not simply what their finished projects look like, but how their aesthetic translates from one home to another.
