Celebrating Design Excellence

Design has the power to transform not just a space, but the way we live in it. At Duck Egg Blue Interior Design, we specialize in luxury interior design for Manhattan Beach and the South Bay, creating homes that are both beautiful and deeply personal. Thoughtful details, layered textures, and a balance of function and style are at the heart of every bespoke interior design project we take on.

Over the past several years, our work has been honored with multiple award nominations. Each recognition reflects not only our design vision but also the trust our clients place in us to bring their homes to life. Browse our portfolio of projects to see how thoughtful design elevates homes into spaces of timeless luxury.

Best Use Of A Small Space

In the primary bedroom, a once-dead corner was transformed with a custom window seat and built-in shelving. The design adds depth, interest, and practicality, perfectly framing views of the leafy backyard. Clever storage solutions, like a hinged lid for extra bed linens, ensure that even small spaces can be stylish and functional.

Always look for opportunities to combine style and practicality—functional furniture can solve space challenges while enhancing a room’s character.

Best Modern Bathroom

The key to any good bathroom design is balancing style with lasting functionality. This space, created for a teenage boy, uses a timeless black and white palette and luxurious materials like marble to elevate even the smallest corners. Investing in quality finishes pays off long-term; a monochromatic palette allows flexibility as tastes evolve, while durable materials reduce future maintenance

Publications such as House Beautiful often explore ways to make bathrooms both functional and beautiful.

Best Entryway

We had fun with this entryway, pairing a striking black-and-white marble floor with pared-back elements to let the flooring shine. A freshly painted black front door adds drama and impact while welcoming guests. The space feels dynamic without overwhelming, proving that even compact entries can make a statement.

Choosing a bold focal point allows other elements to remain minimal and functional, creating a balanced and memorable first impression.

Best Children's Room

This vibrant bedroom balances function and fun through a thoughtful layering of colour, texture, and personal touches. Zones for sleep, homework, and hanging out are clearly defined, while a bold accent wall and curated artwork give the space character and room to grow.

In today’s busy world, a retreat where children can be themselves — away from the chaos — is essential. Distinct areas and timeless details ensure the room evolves gracefully with their changing needs.

Best Powder Room

This striking powder room pairs marble-effect wallpaper with painted wainscoting and a timeless marble mosaic floor, creating a space that feels layered yet sophisticated. Light fixtures were chosen to be as beautiful as they are functional, while a visually light vanity ensures the room feels open and uncluttered despite its compact size.

Powder rooms should feel like jewel boxes—small, curated spaces where statement finishes and thoughtful details create a big impact without feeling crowded.

Beyond The Recognition

While we’re proud of our award nominations, the true reward is seeing the spaces we create come alive for the families who live in them. Each project is an opportunity to blend beauty, functionality, and personality, transforming a house into a home that works effortlessly for everyday life.
