Brumal Studio — Interior Design in Truckee & Lake Tahoe
The studio
Brumal is a full-service design studio working across residential and hospitality interiors, rooted in Truckee, California. Led by Nichole Tortorici, whose architecture background brings a trained eye to interiors that lean warm and tactile, with mountain-town soul.
We design to the rhythm of a place: the seasons, the days outside, the gathering after.
Services
We take on renovations, new construction, and furnishings - start to finish or one focused piece.
Residential
A single room or a whole house, planned around gear by the door, the kitchen everyone ends up in, and built-in bunks that fit one more.
Hospitality
Built around how service moves and where a guest lands after the day, down to a banquette that carries the brand to the last stitch.
Full Service
From the first idea to the final install: design and drawings, specifications and custom millwork, sourcing and procurement of custom and found furniture, coordination through construction, and styling at the end.
Consult
An experienced eye on your project, talked through together. Bring something you're not sure how to start, or just want a read on. A focused session, in person or over video.
Beliefs
Beliefs underneath the work
Commitment
A project belongs to the people it's for. We get curious about what they want it to be, listen closely, and stay devoted to that vision as the work takes shape.
Memory
Every space becomes the backdrop for someone's life: meals, conversations, the moments they'll remember. The feeling of a place stays with them, and we treat that with care.
Origins
Where a thing comes from and who made it matters to us. We look for pieces built to last by people who take pride in the work, so what fills a space carries a story worth knowing.
Access
Design should work at more than one scale. We offer more ways in, from a single focused conversation to a whole project, so good work stays open to more people.
Get in touch
Get in touch
Every project starts with a conversation, and I'd love to hear about yours — wherever you are in the process. We work alongside your architect, builder, and trades. If that team isn't in place yet, we'll help bring the right people in.
Based in Truckee, near Lake Tahoe, we take on projects near and far.
