About

Bungalow 56 is a full-service interior design firm and home decor retail shop at 1158 Orange Avenue in Coronado, founded in 2012 by designers Karyn Molina and Jessica Nicolls. Molina brings more than twenty years in the furniture industry, and Nicolls started her design career in her family's architecture firm, giving the partnership a combined background that spans ground-up construction, kitchen and bath remodels, and furniture selection. The Orange Avenue retail space opened in May 2025 after two years at an appointment-only showroom on B Avenue, and it stocks pillows, throws, candles, mirrors, rugs, kitchen accessories, lighting, and small furniture pieces alongside exclusive partnerships with Flamingo Estate bath and body products and Margeaux James jewelry. Coronado Island homeowners working with the design side get floor plans, 3D renderings, finish selections, and full furnishing packages — services that coordinate naturally with agents at Simone Real Estate Group when clients purchase or renovate Coronado homes for sale in the 92118 ZIP. The retail floor doubles as a staging showcase: furniture and accessories visible in the shop appear in completed Coronado remodel projects that the firm photographs and posts to its 33,000-follower Instagram account. Bungalow 56's design ethos blends organic textures with contemporary lines, and the retail inventory reflects that approach — warm neutrals, layered textiles, and clean-lined frames that suit the island's bungalow-and-cottage housing stock. Coronado shopping for home decor on Orange Avenue also includes wall art and custom framing at Art & Frames of Coronado, which handles the print and framing side of the same interior-styling pipeline. The woman-owned firm features rotating pop-ups from local bakers, jewelers, and handbag makers throughout the summer, turning the 1158 storefront into a community hub on the 1100 block of Orange Avenue near Hotel Del Coronado.
