Take a tour around a modern LA home

Modern living

The pool was deliberately placed next to the living room so the owner could keep an eye on the kids from inside. The concrete edge of the deck has been softened with bright cushions, alpine planting in the built-in borders, and vintage patio furniture.

Living/dining area

Retro stools at a raised shelf create a breakfast bar at the end of the kitchen - the hob is on the other side.

The pendant shades are from IKEA.

Seating area

A hot-pink sofa and disco ball keep the living room spirited and feminine. The white rug creates a clear seating zone.

Go to Wovenground for a rug like this.

Dining area

Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the property with light, creating a seamless blend between inside and out. The dramatic scenery adds instant wow factor.

The table is by Blu Dot, for pendant lights visit Katy West.

Kitchen

The kitchen is visually connected to almost all the indoor and outdoor living areas, so the owner used bright and playful colours to bring it to life - including a natural centrepiece in the bright green island unit.
