Grace Blu Interior Design Featured in Arch Digest, Better Homes and Gardens, Kids Spaces Magazine. The Grace Blu mindset and mantra is "designing outside the box."

Grace Blu Interior Design is a boutique interior design firm that designs outside the box and creates unique and bold spaces for residential and commercial projects. When Rona Graf launched Grace Blu in 2007, she made the intentional decision not to use her own name. From the beginning, her vision for her design studio was a “collaborative of creatives” that would combine their skills and experiences to create one-of-a-kind spaces. Grace Blu’s most recent collaboration with fellow principal designer Megan Yang reinforces the construction forward design studio’s commitment to innovative solutions and diverse perspectives. The meaning is two-fold, as seen in their convention challenging designs and client-centric approach. Rona and team forgo genre and rigid process, instead editing their approach and style to create a fresh and inimitable space every single time. Grace Blu has received the attention of many regional and national publications like HGTV Magazine, Arch Digest, Better Homes & Gardens, CA Home & Design, RUE Magazine, Modern Luxury, Orange County Register, and Coast Magazine. Most recently, Grace Blu was honored with the title of HGTV Designer of the Year 2020.

Is it a career or a very expensive hobby with a good excuse? We may never know.

What we do know is that a typical week involves part artist, part therapist, part project manager, and a lot of standing in front of a half-finished room saying, “It will look so much better when it’s done.” And yes, we know you saw the paint swatch and thought it was beige. It’s greige. Please let us have this.

Designers, which one hits closest to home? Comment the number. Clients, which one did you suspect all along?

Allow me to reintroduce myself. 🎭

For those just joining the party (hello, welcome, take a seat), I’m Rona Graf. Designer by trade, maximalist by nature, and unapologetically in love with a bold room.

The cast of characters:

💜 Wife, mom, and lover of all things delicious. I will plan a trip around a dinner reservation.
🐾 Proud mama to a Great Pyrenees who thinks he’s a lap dog (he is not a lap dog).
🐱 A converted cat person. I never even liked cats. Now Finn, my Scottish Fold, and Tess, my tuxedo girl, run the house and I simply pay the rent.
🌊 My son who is an avid surfer errr I mean practically a fish - is my reason why.
🌿 Happiest with dirt under my nails and a garden in bloom.

Design is what I do best, but this feed is all of it: the rooms, the people, the pets, the plates, and the plot twists.

I prefer classic, elevated, a little dramatic, and never too serious. I believe you should take every day as a gift and enjoy and cherish it like it’s your last. I’ve always said, “Life is not a dress rehearsal!”

So here I am, doing what I love best in life, and if you’d like to stick around, please do! I hope we can get to know each other more. There’s a lot of you who don’t know me that well and I’d love to know you more! Drop me who you are and what you do below! Would love to share with everyone to follow along your journey too!

Tell me where you’re from and whether you’re a cat, dog, or “both, obviously” person. 👇

Not every career move is planned. Sometimes it starts with a part-time job you weren’t sure about, and a moment when people find out they can trust you. Ben Elkin calls it happenstance, but showing up reliably is what opened the door.

Was there a moment in your career that looked small at the time but changed everything? Tell us below.

A space that feels good makes people want to create in it, and that goes for an office as much as a home. Appreciation is part of the environment too.

Fall Fridays are our excuse to pause, gather the team, and say thank you with a good spread. What's one small ritual that makes your workday feel better?

Tell us below.

We have a thing around here - Fall Friday, but of course I gotta add a little drama to the mix. 🍂✨

I snuck into the Grace Blu office early and turned the table into a full on autumn moment for the team: cozy treats, seasonal bites, and enough fall goodies to make a pumpkin blush. 🎃

Because here’s the thing: I don’t just design rooms. I design moments. And nothing says “I love you guys” like a perfectly styled spread you’re absolutely allowed to eat.

Food is love. Decor is love. Put them together? That’s the art of the reveal. I kinda love doing this. Can anyone pay me to do this for a living, oh wait. 😆

Happy Fall Friday from all of us at Grace Blu 🍁

Who loves Fall?

Back from High Point and still buzzing on pattern, color, and a little too much espresso ✨

Market did NOT disappoint. I came home with a full camera roll, a head full of ideas, and a serious case of “I need this in a client’s living room immediately.” Swipe through for just a few of my favorite highlights 👉

🕯️ Pooky Lighting US – lamps that glow like a candlelit dinner party

🌺 LEE Industries – so. much. fringe.

💎 Villa & House (originally Bungalow 5) – these mirrors. That’s the whole sentence.

🌿 Trowbridge Gallery London – botanicals with serious old-world drama

✨ Quorum International – sculptural, moody, and so cool

💧 Beacon Custom Lighting – the most amazing designs, truly

🫒 REVELATION – green was THE color this market

🖤 Modern History Furniture – new antiques with old soul

🪵 Antique & Design Center Of High Point – character you simply can’t fake

🖼️ Fine & Dandy Co. Wallcoverings – walls that read like fine art

And that last slide? Go Home Ltd. said it best: do you want your home to be beautiful, or do you want to do it yourself? 😉 We vote beautiful. We’ll handle the rest.

These finds are already sparking ideas for upcoming projects, so stay tuned. Until next time, High Point Market ! 💋

Small room, big moment. 🏆

We’re honored to share that this powder bath took home an award at this year’s NKBA Southern California awards!

This space proves a powder room can be the most memorable room in the house. Moody navy paneling sets the stage, while gold-on-black landscape wallpaper wraps the upper walls. The showstopper is a sculpted marble vanity with dramatic gold and gray veining and an integrated sink, paired with a wall-mounted brass faucet. Crystal sconces, a rich wood base, and leather-wrapped pulls from TURNSTYLE DESIGNS finish it off.

Thank you to NKBA SoCal for the recognition, and a huge thank you to our incredible trade partners and client who trusted us to go bold. ✨
