Warm summer weather brings with it the promise of backyard barbecues, dinner parties with friends, and visiting houseguests. At Costa Mesa’s design hotspot SOCO Collection, the impressive roster of premium retailers has everything you need to reenergize your home this season - and all year 'round!
You're invited to kick-off the outdoor living season - and to celebrate all things design and decor - at SOCO and The OC Mix’s Design Open House Event on Sunday, May 18 from 11am-4pm. Come explore more than 20 design and home decor showrooms – including Brown Jordan’s first location open to the public, the largest Design Within Reach showroom in the world, PIRCH, Environment, Shade Store, and many, many more!
These and other showrooms will open their doors for this one-day-only open house, where guests will enjoy complimentary mimosas, and trend presentations. Even SOCO’s non-design retailers, restaurants and eateries will be participating with specials!
If you’re looking to remodel your home, need a new set of throw pillows, or just want some fresh inspiration for your interiors, SOCO’s Design Open House is the place to be.
You will also have a chance to pick up a copy of the LA Times SOCO Design Magazine - your guide to all the design showrooms at SOCO. You can view it here, first before anyone else. Be sure to look for the magazine in Saturday's LA Times paper.
3303 Hyland Ave. in Costa Mesa.
