Kelly Wearstler’s signature blend of layers and materials both new and old suffused with potent moments finds a home in this welcoming Californian family bungalow.Kelly Wearstler acted as both interior architect and interior designer on the redesign, which was a full-gut renovation. Some original 1960s features of the building were kept but major work was also undertaken such as raising ceilings and adding skylights which, notes Kelly Wearstler,“create beautiful shadowing throughout various times of the day”.

Outfitted for the clients’extensive art collection, this stately home was modernized to showcase the diverse artworks amidst vibrant and inviting spaces intended for gathering while capturing the youthful spirit of the young family inhabiting it. With elements of marble and rich textures creating a continuity throughout the interiors, the atmosphere of each space is a deep reflection of the clients’affinity for art, texture and color with its own unique vibe.

As avid entertainers, spaces for gathering were highly considered while conceptualizing the design. Infused with a subdued elegance, the billiards room melds together a range of vintage and contemporary designs with a hidden bar and entertainment apparatus concealed behind perforated brass panels while a custom marble table sets the tone of the expansive dining room.

To create a cohesive dialogue with the outdoors, the primary bedroom pairs a color palette of natural, earthy tones with textured elements. The primary bath is an ode to natural materials with its generous application of luxurious marble stone.Grounding the studio is a bespoke marble desk. Drawing from the terracotta resin deposit material in the base, the wall is painted in faded rose.
