Inspirational Interior #1

The December 2010 issue of  InStyle (I know I'm a few months late...), featured the Hollywood Hills home of actor and comedian Joel McHale and his family.  His wife Sarah was a design assistant for Kelly Wearstler as you can see by her glamorous fingerprints all over their fabulous home.  With her collaborator Elizabeth Gordon, also a Kelly Wearstler alum, Sarah decorated their home with a bit of modern regency style. 


Sarah's love of color and drama are evident.  The wallpapered ceiling and mirrored starburst light fixture are a theatrical gesture, reminiscent of Kelly Wearstler's aesthetic.  I love the zebra rug that somehow pulls everything in the room together.

In the master bedroom, deep colors create a cozy effect that adds a sense of comfort and intimacy.  The dark colors allow the white tufted headboard to pop.  I love that Sarah covers the celings with vibrant rich color.   And, what do you think of the gorgeous glass light fixture?  It reminds me of a Lindsey Adelman design (if it isn't one of her designs?).

This exciting and vibrant interior has many of the hallmarks of a Kelly Wearstler design.  While still exerting some restraint it avoids being over-the-top.  It hits the perfect note!
