Haven Laguna, Laguna Beach

Mara Samuels is the founder of Haven Laguna, a new home furnishing boutique now open in Laguna Beach. As the lead design specialist behind the brand, Samuels brings unique furnishings and one-of-a-kind finds to the Orange County coastline. Throughout her professional career, she's worked in real estate and home design & renovation. With more than a decade of experience in selling, styling, and beautifying custom homes, Samuels was inspired to create a one-stop-shop for people to find items that make their house feel like home. With a background in fine and applied arts, Samuels has a keen eye for style. Much of her inspiration comes from the nature and beauty of California's diverse terrain and landscape. Many of the items at Haven Laguna draw inspiration from nature and its simplistic beauty.
