DEPTH OF CHARACTER
LIVING ROOM

The Spanish Revival architecture, including the timbered ceiling, was carefully preserved. Each beautifully curved piece of furniture was made bespoke – and for lounging. Daybed in Teddy mohair fabric, Pierre Frey. Ottomans in fabric from Holland & Sherry. Vintage floor lamp, Ponce Berga. Vintage sconce, Panoplie

KITCHEN

Although this is a neutral scheme with different variations of the colour mocha, it exudes warmth with its rich textures and whimsical accent fabric. Upper units in Dead Salmon; walls in Dimity, both Farrow & Ball. Light fittings, Roman and Williams Guild. Fabric, Lisa Fine Textiles

Paying homage to the original 1930s architecture of Paul Williams, who created homes for Hollywood stars, including Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball, was the intent of British-born, LA-based interior designer Jake Arnold when tasked with remodelling this Spanish Revival property in LA.

Jake, whose clients are just as illustrious – John Legend, Aaron Paul and Sophia Bush, to name a few – is known for his effortless integration of the timeless, traditional design aesthetic of his London upbringing with the more laid-back Californian lifestyle he has embraced for the past 10 years. For this family home, he wanted, he says, to create ‘high impact liveable spaces that brought in textures and richness through textiles and vintage lighting. We were very much inspired by certain elements of the English countryside when it came to the kitchen, while giving it a California relaxed look.’
