Hollywood Hills / Los Angeles, California

The interior experience of the home begins with the foyer, which blends Anthony’s and Apollo’s temperaments. An antique mirror in the space is encased in a soft taupe shade called Fawn, contrasting a deep, dusty rose feature color called Blanche Dubois Rose, which gives the space a soft vibrant warmth. The ceiling is painted in a light shade called Whistler Blackcomb, which visually expands the space beyond its confines. 

The Grand Salon ( the main living space ) reflects the clients’ unique personalities. The soft tri-colour horizontal stripes reflect Anthony’s introverted nature as well as his love of 1930s French interior design and all things Deco. The striped patterning creates contrast—vibrational stimulation—that reflects Apollo’s approach to life. The space reflects and balances the needs of our couple. A blush of warmth—the dusty pink of the foyer—is visible from the Salon, creating a subtly vibrant contrast that which streams rays of energy to the room.  

The arched entryways between the interior spaces serve as color “palate cleansers” that prepare one to move seamlessly between colour zones. 

The dining space is unified by an icy lavender shade called Delicious, which gives personality and allows the space to recede to emphasize the life and activity within. The ceiling, covered in a lighter shade called Divina, creates a sense of openness and possibility. The dining room reflects both Anthony and Apollo and promotes a blissful domestic life without overpowering the space. The dining offers a giant picture window creating a sense of eating outdoors.

The arch leading from the Great Salon to the office is painted in a pale aqua called Atmosphere, which creates a soft transition, another palette cleaner between the  two adjoining  rooms. Just beyond, the office—designed for Apollo—is defined by a fresh, bold, green shade called Teenager supporting conducive to Apollo’s personality and work style. Transitions between these domestic spaces of the house evoke the feeling of being in a Laduree’s patisserie, inviting us to step into a time of peace and tranquility.  

The powder room and bar, are defined by bold color. Each one is designed around intense palettes that reflect and support their purpose. The powder room is enveloped in a sensual vermilion called Silk Taffeta, creating a playful backdrop for the client’s menagerie of monkey sculptures and prints. The bar space (designed to conjure New York’s famous Bemelmans’s Bar) is encased in a saturated blue—Lahey Sky—supported by a dreamy cool green called Monet, creating the sense that nature extends beyond the walls.

Because of the lower grade of the private sleeping floors, they have an even greater foliage refection. We went with a less saturated color palette. 

Guest bedroom #1, took on the personality of Medieval Florence, being painted in a custom color Sienna, with a gesture reminiscent of Mamie’s red petticoat, the closet became cloaked in custom color, Pink Revolution.

While each of the 5 bedrooms has its own distinct personality and colour story, we will focus on the Master Bedroom

The Master Bedroom was designed to be as serene as it is beautiful, there is so much more going on in here, than simply, beauty.

The color palette reflects Anthony’s need for serenity and less stimulation. Evoking the feeling of being within a cocoon and the ultimate treehouse.

The paint colours shown here on the walls: I Do. The trim and ceiling colour had to be a custom creamy white, to counterbalance the reflections, flooding in from the vibrant greens of the surrounding foliage.
