testimonials

“I had a wholesome experience and whole heartedly thank you! From the first experience when we meet to the day we did a sale, it was like family to me. I felt like she could see my fears and my anxiety and been a newly wed and not sure how the experience would be. I was truly amazed by the 2 days open house and we were done. i am soo grateful for the experience and will truly remember you and your team. Thank you again!”

“Beatrice is the reason we are now homeowners! The home we wanted already had several competitive offers in but it was her personal touch and human connection with the seller’s that won us the home. She advocated for our needs while still appealing to the seller’s. It was a perfect mix of perseverance for the buyer and respect for the seller that put us at the forefront of the buyer’s mind. It’s a very competitive market right now and having someone like Beatrice on your side makes everything a lot easier.”

“Very knowledgeable and communicative. We also purchased our new home with Beatrice and had the same great experience.”

GAME ON: High-end Gaming Tables Come Out of the Basement

Gleaming gourmet kitchens. Magnificent living spaces. Ample bedroom suites. When it comes to luxury homes, some interior must-haves are fairly obvious. But, today, a newer space is being elevated from nice to necessary: the grand game room.

Decked out with custom game tables cloaked in contemporary, bespoke grandeur, these spaces are delivering a new level of home entertainment, triggered — not surprisingly — by the start of Covid-19. But while the pandemic certainly put game rooms in finer focus, high-end manufacturers and retailers continue to see buyer demand today.

“During the pandemic, people were forced to spend more time at home, which created a higher demand for game tables, resulting in direct growth for IMPATIA,” says Gregg Brodarick, founder and creative director of the Italian-based, artisan-crafted luxury game table company. “In terms of growth for the luxury game room, this aspect is mainly driven by the interior design community and homeowners’ desire to revamp their average basement or entertainment room into something much more modern, immersive, and aesthetically beautiful.”

That modern aesthetic is a hefty departure from the more traditional look that dominated the game table market for decades. It’s also one of the reasons Los Angeles-based luxury gaming design company, 11 Ravens, has experienced “extreme growth” in luxury game tables over the last decade, according to founder Michael Zaretsky.

“We attribute our growth and popularity to a number of factors. One, we began creating custom luxury game tables with modern design that was never offered before.

Traditionally you see antique, carved-wood, heavy pool tables. Two, Covid has increased play at home, and then the improvement of Covid bringing employees back into the office has incentivized companies to create amenities like game rooms in their offices.”

Billiards tables remain a cornerstone for these high-end brands, comprising the largest share of the game room market, with sales that are expected to reach $291.6 million by 2028. “We see pool/billiards as the most consistent product trending with our clients worldwide,” says Zaretsky.

But they’re hardly the only option. Today, you may be just as likely to walk into a $19 million Corona del Mar home and entertain in a space that features custom shuffleboard and ping-pong tables, as well as three full-size pinball machines. Or this exceptional $52 million Bel Air estate, which is magnificent in every inch of its 36,000 square feet. That includes the expansive game room, with billiards, ping-pong, and foosball tables, as well as shuffleboard.

IMPATIA’s all-time, top-selling game tables, the contemporary glass Fillotto pool table, and the Lungolinea ping-pong table, fashioned in Italian leather with a glass playing surface, are indicative of the look luxury homeowners and designers have been seeking. Over the past year, the company has seen increased demand for their Unootto poker table, which also features an all-glass playing surface, and their newly launched glass-top Derby foosball table.

For 11 Ravens, contemporary trending spurred the addition of premium lucite to their collection. Lucite is available on the company’s Avettore, Theseus, Macan, and Malibu styles, the last of which Zaretsky calls a “versatile and

popular model with sleek and minimalist lines (that is) also easily customized with materials like teak for outdoor use, hemp wood for sustainability, or metal finishes for a luxurious reflective surface.”

clean lines, an abundance of customizable options, designs that can look more like sculpture than leisure, these sophisticated high-end tables can fit in with any kind décor and exhibit an appeal that makes them show-off worthy. “A big trend we are seeing is more modern aesthetics combined with premium materiality versus the traditional bulky game tables,” says Brodarick. “Putting a stronger focus on design of each game table has resulted in clients and designers being more inclined to incorporate game tables into everyday spaces as a statement piece rather than just hiding them in a basement.”

TIPS FOR THE PERFECT Home Color Palette

When it comes to adorning the walls of your home, you need to do a little digging and a lot of experimenting before making a color commitment. Every creative venture requires inspiration — and that especially applies to decorating your home.

LOOK TO MOTHER NATURE

Any color combination found in nature can easily be translated into an interior arrangement and make for a soothing ambiance. Spend a little time outside, observe which tones you’re drawn to most and bring your ideas back home.

DEFER TO A BELOVED PATTERN

Whether it’s from your favorite wallpaper, dress, or artwork, a preexisting pattern is likely to coordinate well. Even if the pattern incorporates disparate colors, a harmony can be achieved by layering a dominant tone with more subtle hues.

CONSIDER YOUR TARGET VIBE

The colors in each room should correlate, emotionally and visually, so pinpointing the overall atmosphere you want for your home can help you determine which shades to use in each room.

The process of conceptualizing your perfect home palette also requires some technical observation. Here are some additional steps to help in your color choices.

SKETCH OUT A FLOOR PLAN

Note the immovable pieces in each room — such as wallpaper, furniture or décor. Be sure that the hues you’re considering can coexist with these items.

UNDERSTAND AND CONTEMPLATE VALUE

As you put together your favorite mix of colors, consider the concept of value, or the relative degree of lightness and darkness. Think about integrating dark, bright and light shades in each room.

OBSERVE DAILY LIGHT CHANGES

Color is drastically impacted by light, so you should note how much daylight each space receives. For a room with less sun exposure, use a warm combination to offset the shadows. For a room with plenty of windows, darker hues may be best.

DECIDE ON A NEUTRAL

A successful in-home color palette should include one neutral hue. These timeless shades give the space a cohesive look and feel. When certain color fads fade, you can phase them out while keeping your neutrals and general design intact.

Before applying a single stroke of paint to any of your walls, you’ll want to buy samples of your favorite shades and test them out on a small section of your walls. After you’ve done some informed, artistic deliberation, the home color scheme of your dreams will be within reach.
