In Cisco Pinedo’s house, knickknacks are few and far between, which results in each item gaining a sense of importance and meaning.
This makes the house feel peaceful and―by calling attention to the few well-edited pieces on display―also intensely personal. In this setting, even garden gnomes become art.
“I wanted open space without a lot of stuff,” he says. “I didn’t want the house to look busy.”
Except for a mix of items found while traveling and trolling flea markets, the living room is uncluttered. Favorite pieces include a wooden Burmese Buddha, European garden gnomes, and a Mexican santo.
“I love merging cultures in design,” Cisco says.
Fill your home with family―not stuff
A furniture designer originally from Mexico, Cisco turned his talents toward creating a sense of serenity and warmth when the family remodeled their home in San Marino, California.
His trick: simplicity. The open floor plan (he did away with many of the interior walls) is enhanced by the bold use of blank walls, giving the house a spa-like tranquility.
Except that here it’s not about retreating, but rather about gathering.
“Our door is always open,” Cisco says. And with an inviting home like this, it’s not hard to see why friends keep streaming in.

Almost alfresco room
A vintage wine bottle repurposed as a Cisco Brothers lamp (ciscobrothers.com) hangs above the family’s dining room table. The chairs are upholstered with cork, a sustainable material. Windows are curtain-free, allowing natural light to flood through the space.
“I wanted to blend indoors and out,” Cisco says. “You can play with boundaries and enjoy the outdoors from inside and vice versa.”
