I get weak in the knees when I see a stunning townhouse. I’m always on the hunt for design ideas for our townhouse and, it looks like I’ve found the perfect inspiration!
Who lives here: A couple and their dog
Location: Pasadena, California
Designer: Charmean Neithart
Size: 1,603 square feet (149 square meters); 2 bedrooms, 2½ bathrooms
That’s interesting: Their dining room chairs were made from a neighborhood tree that had fallen during a major windstorm in 2011.
If I could emulate every inch of this townhouse I would! Queue the Pasadena real estate listings. I have a penchant for townhouses as it is, so when I saw this beauty my heart went a flutter! Want some sassy townhouse inspiration? Come walk with me as we scroll down and take a private peek into this stunning California Townhouse.
As you walk in, you are greeted by a totally chic entryway filled with pops color as well as a colorful custom pagoda-style pendant light foreshadows some of the more transitional and eclectic touches seen throughout the house. You can see how they used persimmon to spice things up.

Here’s a great tip from the designer!
Do whatever you want in a powder room. A closed-door can keep it from distracting from the rest of your home’s design. My clients were a little worried this would be too busy, but I told them, That’s the point! Neithart says.

Boy, I thought I loved orange! It’s very lovely though.
I just love what you did with your home Carol! Outstanding design and color!
Absolutely beautiful! Put it on the beach or mountains, and I’m sold! LOL.
Oh yes! can you image that house near the beach? ahhhh what a dream! Have a great weekend!
That is gorgeous! It’s so sophisticated but simple. I love the pops of colors with those soothing neutrals. I feel calmer just looking at this!
Me too Lois. I love that kitchen and everything about the bathroom too. Have a great weekend!
Very pretty townhome BUT I love yours better ha!
lol thanks Patti. I love yours too!
What a gorgeous townhome – and the kitchen is amazing!
thanks much Sharon! I love that kitchen too! Always good seeing you!
Very beautiful! I love the decorating and that kitchen wow!
Hi Rena, me too. That kitchen is amazing and I love that bathroom too! Have a wonderful weekend!
The entryway light is a delight. I have been dreaming of a little built in seating area in our kitchen like this townhouse has for a few years. I also like the calming bedroom and bath and will remember the advice to do whatever you want in a powder room!
Oh Sue I would love one too. And I love exactly how that one is done. If we do that, the dining room would have to go. What hard choices to make. We have similar taste that’s for sure!
Everything in this townhouse is very well pulled together with color. Orange can be a hard color to work with, because too much can elicit memories of the ugly decor of the 70’s. But it’s used well here. I love the large colorful art. The only thing I didn’t like was the powder room. The pattern is a bit too much for me, I think it would look lovely if the wall was broken up with half-wall paneling of some sort. Thanks for sharing!
Oh wow, I didn’t think about that great point! I agree about the powder room. That wallpaper didn’t seem to fit with the rest of the house. I do love this townhouse though…it’s so romantic and chic at the same time. Have a great weekend and thanks much for stopping by.
And I just have to tell you I love your website…the homes are amazing I’m having a ball looking through them. If you ever want to me to feature any homes in a post just let me know I’d love to!
Just noticed the circle in the french doors and the circle hanging pendant light.
Oh, I love that pendant light. I’m such a sucker for lighting. You have such a good eye Sue. You should go into decorating for sure.
Beautifully decorated. I need some inspiration like that!
Hi Jessica, oh yes. I love getting ideas and inspiration from beautifully decorated homes. I love the thought that went into this design. Thanks much for stopping by and have a great weekend!
I love the subtle Asian accents fused throughout the house. I’m swooning over those French doors between the dining and entry hall.
Hi Cyndi! Oh me too. I just love the thought that went into this design. I love that backyard too. Have a fab weekend!
What an exceptionally gorgeous townhouse! It makes me want to move to a big city where I could move into a smaller place like this. It is so unique with all of the decorations that it really feels like a home, not a house. My favorite part is the mix of modern art pieces with more traditional furniture. It has a really elegant feel to it.
Hi Laurel, I love that townhouse too! Townhome living is the best especially if you are fortunate enough to own one like the Cali townhouse. Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting. have a great weekend.

What a spacious little townhouse. I really love the marble in the bathrooms and the bathtub that’s free-standing. There’s even a door straight to the yard in there! I could definitely see myself spending a lot of time in that bathroom since it feels so cozy and open.
Hi Sally, I love Townhouses. That one is just stunning! So glad you liked the post and hope you stop back again soon.
