Our Designer Network is a group of trailblazers and icons that Sunset and sister publications Coastal Living and Southern Living work with to curate the best home designs for the magazines.
This week, we feature designer Jill Johnson of Waterleaf Interiors.
JJ: Clean, Timeless, and Classic with a hint of the unexpected
JJ: My latest obsession is cement tiles. They can transform any ordinary space and make your home feel thoughtful and collected.
JJ: I always tell my clients “function” is most important. While it’s important to have both form and function, design can always follow. Its important to be true to how you live.
JJ: An outdoor shower and a mud room are a must!
JJ: Either Hale Navy or a classic Black lacquer
JJ: I have a love affair with Punta Mita and that’s where I keep my boat so that’s hands down my favorite destination!
JJ: Waterleaf Home & Gift, of course! And I just returned from Bali where I felt so inspired – so many cool little places with so much color. Their way of life and watching them balance so much was amazing to see.
JJ: Lately I’ve been loving Becky Owens, Studio Blue, BoBridges, Bonfire Beach Kids, and Coastal Interiors
JJ: The Four Seasons Punta Mita and the Belmont El Encanto in Santa Barbara. It just remodeled and I love the outdoor dining and cottages…highly recommend!
JJ: If I have to choose, I’d say island 🙂
