Welcome to a world of impeccable design and luxurious living at The Residences at West Oaks, nestled in the vibrant community of Rocklin, California. As the interior designer for Brentwood Developments, I had the incredible opportunity to curate the model homes, hand-selecting finishes, and providing furnishings that embody the epitome of modern elegance.
Let’s delve into the process of creating stunning model homes that inspire and enchant.
A Vision Unveiled:
Setting the tone, designing these model homes was a blank canvas. The first step in the process was envisioning a style that would harmonize with the architecture and captivate potential homeowners. Inspired by the natural beauty of Rocklin and the desire for contemporary sophistication, I chose a transitional design approach. This style elegantly blends timeless elements with modern sensibilities, creating a warm and inviting ambiance throughout the property.

The Art of Finishes:
To elevate the space, every detail counts when it comes to designing model homes. Hand-selecting the finishes involved weaving together a tapestry of textures, colors, and materials to create an atmosphere of refined luxury. From the rich hardwood flooring to the sleek quartz countertops, every surface was carefully chosen to reflect both style and functionality.


Light fixtures, cabinetry, and tile selections were meticulously curated to enhance the overall aesthetic and create a cohesive visual narrative. Since the model homes are four-stories—including the rooftop—we even specified an elevator to quickly take potential homeowners straight to the California views.
Furnishing the Dream:
When it comes to furnishings, comfort and style play a pivotal role in model homes, as they bring the space to life and help potential buyers envision their future home. The key was to strike the perfect balance. Cozy yet contemporary sofas, elegant dining sets, and carefully curated bedroom ensembles were meticulously placed to highlight the potential of each room. Thoughtful touches such as decorative accessories, artwork, and lighting fixtures added the finishing touches, creating an environment that exudes effortless sophistication.

Showcasing the Lifestyle:
Creating inspiring interiors is not just about showcasing the physical space; it is an opportunity to inspire potential homeowners to embrace a lifestyle. By thoughtfully crafting each room’s purpose and atmosphere, we aimed to evoke emotions and create an instant connection.


The kitchen became a culinary haven with gourmet appliances and functional yet beautiful cabinetry. The master suite transformed into a sanctuary of relaxation and rejuvenation, featuring sumptuous bedding and serene color palettes. Outdoor spaces were transformed into inviting retreats, inviting homeowners to soak up the California sunshine and unwind in style.

Designing model homes at The Residences at West Oaks has been an extraordinary journey of creativity. The process of hand-selecting finishes, providing exquisite furnishings, and creating inspiring spaces was guided by the desire to capture the essence of luxurious living in Rocklin, California.
Through thoughtful design choices, we aimed to create model homes that leave a lasting impression on potential homeowners, inspiring them to embark on their own journey of creating a dream home at The Residences at West Oaks.
