WHIMSICAL Mediterranean Villa
Our client fell for this enchanting 1930's Spanish home in big part thanks to the beautiful bones. In an effort to preserve its inherent charm and Old Hollywood vibe while making it feel a little more millennial, she turned to BLD for some full-on decorating and light construction. We knew as soon as we met the young comedienne what that would look like: a whimsical, fun-loving design scheme that was equal parts lighthearted leisure and drool-worthy glam. It wasn't all fun and games, though, since we had to introduce our client's personality to a home that had its own (very loud) opinions on these things.
The previous homeowners had added quite a few unexpected elements to the interior that were tricky to design around - namely, the unusual, bright tiling throughout the home coupled with funky light fixtures. To make everything play nice together, we had to pull our color choices from the home itself and its super colorful tiling and stain glass windows. Oranges, yellows, reds, purples, and blues form the dynamic color palette while whimsical patterns, eclectic pairings, tons of vintage, and plenty of contrast are stamps straight from the client.
