Housed in a charming 1920’s Spanish colonial, the library and entryway are an explosion of color, pattern and detail that works as a sum of its parts. The couple came to us asking for a Wes Anderson inspired library - such a dream! Whether you’re a fan of the filmmaker for not - the dreamy and quirky visuals of his films are unmistakable. Stark and gorgeous, with technicolor palettes, and juxtaposition of scale, pattern and era - they are a feast for the eyes. Storage for a well-loved and used book collection was top of the functional list for this duo of doctors.

To that end, a custom bookcase hugs a cozy velvet sofa with reading lights perfect for lounging. Vintage chairs reworked in custom fabric round out the seating to allow the room to service coffee or cocktail socializing and a pair of chairs by the window accommodate sunny days. This is a tech-free zone in the home, with cozy lamp light and the fireplace for reading.

The punchy chartreuse and black palette create a fresh and inviting space. Instead of feeling overwhelming, it’s engaging - drawing you in to a vibe and energy that inspires. Perhaps the highest compliment is that our clients have felt freedom to experiment and express themselves creatively in other areas of their home because they so confidently love the library we created.
