Services
You have good instincts of your own and one room that has never quite worked. We resolve the layout, settle the palette and the key pieces, and you execute it confidently yourself. Fixed fee per room, 3–4 weeks.
Best For: renters, first-time homeowners, seasonal restyles, special event styling, dorm room styling, getting your guest room ready for the holidays, single room decorating…
Creative Direction
You’re renovating or building and real decisions are coming at you. The design gets fully worked out — layouts, materials, finishes, lighting — and I coordinate with your contractor at the milestones that matter, so what gets built is what you agreed to.
Best For: homeowners looking to remodel a kitchen or bathroom and need guidance but are happy to handle execution, full home decorating (furnishing and styling).
Design Development
You want it handled. Concept, detailed design, procurement, contractor coordination and oversight through construction and installation — without needing you day to day. You walk into a room that’s genuinely finished.
Best For: homeowners looking to remodel a kitchen, bathroom or a full home and want everything handled!
Full-Service Design
Never a museum, Never a showroom
I’m Laetitia Wajnapel. Before design I spent almost twenty years as an editor and journalist in Paris and London, asking people how they lived. Now I’m in Los Angeles, designing houses and independent businesses here: cafés, wine bars, shops, small studios. ASID accredited, winner of the 2025 Interior Design and Innovation Award, and featured in Architectural Digest, People, Homes & Gardens and Livingetc.
Cinquième Gauche is named after my first apartment in Paris, a fifth-floor walk-up where I worked out what “home” actually means. I still work that way: I pay attention to how you really live, then build with what you already have. Warm, a little romantic, never precious. Rooms you can put your feet up in.
