Irregular oval coffee tables, pitch-black tiled fireplaces, and lightshades that twist and turn into surrealist curves – nothing in this LA home is quite ordinary, and we wouldn’t have it any other way. Natural light – and a glimpse of the blossom trees outside – streams through huge windows into the modern, minimalist space, illuminating the contemporary artworks and polished wooden furniture. Despite the care evident in this home’s interiors, however, there’s nothing poised or gallery-like about the design – soft linen sofas invite you to sit back, throw open the patio doors and relax. With a a shady garden, private porch to soak up the Californian heat and an enviable position in Venice’s chicest neighbourhood, this is a stay you’ll reminisce about for years to come.
