Our Story

Our Mission

A vintage wooden vanity with a mirror and a small drawer, topped with a vase of pink and yellow flowers, is positioned on a white rug in front of a flower-covered area with lavender blossoms.

At Bloom Room, we design captivating spaces that extend the comfort and functionality of the home to the outdoors. Inspired by the elegance of nature and grounded by the built environment, we create landscapes that are not only breathtaking, but deeply rooted in place.

Our approach is holistic, honoring the rhythms of the natural world while curating refined outdoor rooms that invite reflection, connection, and delight.

More than landscapes, we create living environments where nature and culture intertwine, where every space is activated with purpose.

    I recently had the fire department assess my landscaping for potential fire hazards and was quite upset to learn that I needed to remove some beloved cypress trees near the house. Alix quickly provided several excellent solutions. I am so grateful for her expertise!
