Before Breegan Jane became a familiar face on HGTV shows like “Property Brothers,” “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition” and “Fix My Fail,” she was a Los Angeles-based interior designer and lifestyle expert.

While Jane still designs stylish California spaces and shares her insights as a working mom via her blog, she’s now become a design star, sharing her stylish, youthful aesthetic in magazines, on television and as a featured speaker at design-focused events.

Jane also advocates for women and children in Africa as a partner with international nonprofit World Vision, particularly their work with the Kenya Big Dream initiative, which helps end child marriages and acts of violence against women and children.

Most recently, Jane has helped engaged couples realize their dream of a wedding and buying their first home with her new HGTV series, “The House My Wedding Bought,” airing now on Discovery+.

Accomplishment You are Most Proud of: I’m just proud that opportunities are coming to me. They signal that I’m on my destined path. These opportunities also let me know there’s something noticeable about my reputation and drive. If my work ethic resonates with people enough that they want me to do what I love for them, then I must be doing something right. THAT, I’m proud of.

Colors or Color Combinations: My absolute favorite color combination is teal and gold, but I also love using white and neutrals as a base for a pop of bold color in an interior space. I also love the look of mixed metals; done well, it can create a very modern and elegant presentation.

What Color Would You Be? Again, I’d be teal, and my name would simply be “Water.” I remember a quote by Lao Zi that says, “Water is the softest thing, yet it can penetrate mountains and earth.” I would be the color that’s unassuming but powerful when used in the context of the art.

Go-to Paint Colors: Cool December by Dunn-Edwards and Behr’s Little Black Dress Sources of Inspiration: As a born-and-raised Southern Cali girl, I’ll always be inspired by the beach and ocean. It’s why teal is a significant part of my company’s visual branding, and I always look to incorporate teal into my design when I can.

Favorite Quote: “Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you’ll land among the stars.” This is such an inspirational quote for me. It always reminds me to aim higher and farther.

Dream Project? I’d love to design a hotel. I’m so intrigued by the expansive space frequently visited by travelers from all over the world that I would get to create.

Fave/Least Fave Trend: I don’t like using the word “trend,” but I’m inspired by so many popular sources. One thing I’m seeing a lot recently is the use of adhesive wallpaper for rental units. The convenience and ease of use and replacement is perfect for a space that may see frequent transitions. I’m not a fan of using faux fur pillows in interior decor. It’s not a great look to me. Also, I prefer not to use heavy wooden bed frames. I refer to them as “shin killers” because they hurt your legs terribly if you happen to knock into them. I see them used in hotels a great deal, and I loathe them.
