Multi-disciplinary designer Kelly Wearstler’s home in Beverly Hills, California, is an ever-evolving stage for her innately cool creativity.Since founding her interior design studio in 1995 and playing a pivotal role in the rise of the designer hotel in America, Kelly Wearstler has established an interdisciplinary force for design products and projects.
Kelly creates a sequenced sense of discovery from one room to the next in her home by seeking out rare and unusual pieces and curating them with her custom work. The living space features her custom sofas, and Dolores armchairs designed by Rob Eckhardt, together with vintage and flea market finds.
The custom Kelly Wearstler Bravado Graphite runner on the staircase engages with the Georgian ironwork through unexpected patterning and contrast. A vintage Marquina marble table accentuates the curved narrative.Texture is an important part of Kelly’s approach, as seen in the dining room with her goat hair-upholstered Sonnet chair, Entler 6-Globe plaster chandelier and antique ceramic table cast as a tree trunk.
The original wood panelling creates a warm atmosphere, together with the vintage leather lounge chairs designed by Illum Wikkelso. A Robert Roesch sculpture and Kelly’s Ives consol designed using ebonised oak and marble also feature.
