Incorporating Scandinavian Design in Different Rooms of Your Home
Scandinavian design can be incorporated in every room of your home, creating a cohesive and harmonious aesthetic. Here are some tips for each room:
1. Living Room
In the living room, focus on creating a comfortable and inviting space. Choose a neutral-colored sofa and pair it with a sleek coffee table. Add texture and warmth with a soft rug and cushions. Incorporate natural elements through houseplants or a wooden side table. Keep the room clutter-free with hidden storage solutions.
2. Kitchen
In the kitchen, opt for clean and minimalist cabinetry in light colors. Choose natural stone or wooden countertops for a touch of warmth. Add pendant lights with a Scandinavian design aesthetic for a modern and functional lighting solution. Incorporate open shelving to display your favorite dishes and utensils.
3. Bedroom
In the bedroom, create a serene and cozy atmosphere. Choose a minimalistic bed frame with a comfortable mattress and crisp white bedding. Add warmth and texture with a soft rug and cushions. Incorporate natural elements through bedside tables made from wood and houseplants placed strategically around the room.
4. Bathroom
In the bathroom, keep the design simple and functional. Opt for a clean-lined vanity with ample storage space. Choose light-colored tiles for the walls and floors to create a bright and airy feel. Add a touch of luxury with natural stone countertops and accessories.
Incorporating Scandinavian design in your home can transform your living spaces into serene and inviting environments. By embracing minimalism, functionality, and natural elements, you can create a timeless aesthetic that is both visually appealing and practical.
– RAIN PREP YOUR HOME –

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR HOUSE FOR THE RAIN
Gone are the days when Angelenos could dismiss the notion of rain with a casual “it never rains in LA.” With the onset of climate change and terms like “atmospheric river” and “flash flood” becoming commonplace, we’ve come to recognize the reality of heavy rainstorms that can wreak havoc during the rainy months. Heavy rain does not only pose problems for us on the road and disrupt our everyday routines; it can also inflict harm on our property if proper precautions are not taken.
Here are three important steps to weatherproof and shield your home from water damage, ultimately saving you from costly repairs down the line.
Maintaining Gutters:
Rain gutters are a standard feature of most homes, designed to divert water away from the foundation to prevent deterioration and related issues. However, debris such as fallen leaves and dirt can accumulate over time, impeding proper drainage. It’s imperative to thoroughly clean your gutters before the arrival of a significant storm to ensure adequate drainage. If your home lacks gutters altogether, it’s worth considering the investment for installation before the next rainy season.
Once you’ve confirmed that your gutter system is clean and operational, pay close attention to where the drainage leads. The crucial objective is to ensure water is directed entirely away from your property. This might entail installing extenders to release water further from the property line. Additionally, you may opt to install rain barrels to collect and store rainwater, offering an eco-friendly solution to water management.
Roof Maintenance:
Leaky roofs are a common entry point for rainwater, making regular maintenance essential to keeping your home dry and waterproof. Look for visible signs of damage such as missing shingles, cracked tiles, or compromised flashing, and address any potential issues promptly. If you’re uncertain about your roof’s condition or notice any signs of trouble, enlist the services of a professional roofing contractor for a thorough inspection. Their expertise and specialized tools will ensure any issues are identified and remedied effectively.
Trimming Trees and Vegetation:
During stormy weather, overgrown tree branches and leaves can pose various hazards, including roof damage and clogged gutters. If your trees appear overgrown, it’s time to enlist professional tree services. Keeping trees trimmed away from the roofline not only minimizes risks such as falling branches but also prevents access to your rooftop by rodents and insects. As a general rule, maintaining a six-foot distance from the roofline ensures both safety and protection for your home.
– LOVE WORDS –
We love our clients and they love us….
❝There aren’t enough superlatives to describe how much we loved working with Deirdre, Terry, Catherine and the rest of the L34 crew. Deciding to sell during a pandemic was nerve-wracking, but they held our hands throughout every step of the process. Their professionalism and organization was striking. But these are also some of the warmest, kindest people you will ever meet. We ended up getting multiple bids over-asking and the entire escrow process was a breeze. If you’re selling or buying in NELA (or anywhere!) you simply can’t make a better decision than partnering with L34!❞
