In Residence: Kelly Wearstler
The LA property was built in the Georgian Revival style with a barrel-vaulted entry fit for the arrival of any Hollywood luminary. As a designer, Wearstler’s home reflects her artistic practice and finely honed sense of color and shape. Throughout the rooms, visitors can spot goat hair upholstery, graphic runners, bold silhouettes and a treasure trove of artisanal furniture, all enclosed by high-gloss white walls.

It is surprising to see Kelly freaking Wearstler's own home is so muted and minimal. Her signature style we see in her clients' homes are usually super bold with a very maximalist sensibility. However, she went with a cleaner palette for her own home to take a break from all the boldness that she is expected, while respecting the character of the classic architecture. The bathroom is where we see her play! That stone work is incredible.

Hi, just a small correction in your comment that this house was not minimal. A minimal design is where we see least number of lines, joints or connections. This is more of a balanced space. I believe later the post owner must have replaced some of the furniture or decor items as per his/her taste ( 'bold' as you mentioned ).

It is now, but she changes it v often in a lot of her publications she has this house but it filled with huge bold colours. Being the designer she is swaps it around depending on how she feels. Also at the time she was putting the house on the market so she needs to target a broader market. Lucky enough TOM FORD purchased this beautiful home. Let’s hope he changes the driveway tho. 😂

What are you on about? This home looks exactly like it was designed by a Target or Bed Bath and Beyond store manager... When they say no taste or soul, they're talking about a conceptualy point of view that communicates a cohesive and connected visual aesthetic in an interesting or novel way. This is like 11 kmart mother's pinterest boards slammed together in a tasteless mc mansion.
It is so beautiful. Nearly too perfect if it makes sense. Everything is so balanced and geometric and measured.... But it is STUNNING!
Incredible home and her taste is impeccable. It might not be everyone’s taste, but Kelly is a true tastemaker and she is not afraid to take risks. I love it all 💥 Haters gon hate 😁
I worked in the hospitality design world in L.A. for years & Kelly Wearstler was know as a horrible employer. One of my best friends worked there for a few years & she said it was traumatizing. She treats her employees like slaves, pays barely enough to survive & never pays overtime. She gets young blood that is excited to work for her & then works them to the bone.

Her remarks in talking about her Masterclass say if you live without color, you live without love. There is a lack of color, warmth and personality in the house. It's like a museum. The yard and trees are lovely.
why is everyone being so negative? she is one of the best interior designers out there and you can clearly see she has collected so many one of a kind pieces. Her home reflects who she is and what she is inspired by

Because everyone has a different taste and ideology. Perhaps those who really could connect to the other architectural videos on this channel were not able to connect to this one. As an architect and in my own opinion, what really matter is ' story '. There should be a story behind every design, an emotion which everyone should be able to feel even if the narrator is not speaking in English. Other projects on this channel has that potential. This one, I'm afraid appeared bland.
if you compare her workspace to her home is very different, it is evident that she finds solace and rest in her vast and quiet home that is filled with light, nature inviting itself in an orderly manner to convey a sense of peace and tranquility which is a big mental break from so much visual stimuli she gets while at work from all the various colors textures and design concepts that she has to develop. I think she is clever at creating a space to charge her batteries and gain inspiration again and again. I think its marvelous she can enjoy this luxurious home, it only makes perfect sense to make it her own.
This is so much nicer than all the trendy developer contemporary homes I see in videos. I love this home. 3.5 acres with beautiful landscaping is amazing.
Speechless, beyond stunning. Timeless with modern art...Stunning, calming meets. I love this masterpiece. Most inspiring on my world. Thank you so much with gratitude. .
I have no words for her house and the video in general... just wow
For the first time I feel the owner doesn’t fit in her own home. Just look like a newly finished project for one of her client. Look at the house, you know it’s no her. Even her voice doesn’t match the music. I love the outside so much.

I think this house is pretty. Normally I dont like modern but I think this cozy in a sense. I also love how simple yet interesting some of the pieces are. I think its beautifully done.
There’s something off about this place, absolutely beautiful building and windows (and bathroom!) but seems to be a layer of something missing. It seems to be more of an on-trend instagrammable home that won’t age well, vs. one with substance and being thought out with life, layers and creativity in mind. I’m not familiar with the homeowner, might be instagram famous? Everything is subjective and as long as the family are happy in their space - I can only voice my opinion
It's evident from her body position and the way she talks about the space that she doesn't belong in that house - it's not her home. You can feel someone is on their own piece of land by the way they fit in the space: the way she sits on the couch, or arranges that little thing at one point, is speaking volumes - she is just a guest there.

Yes, I think you described the woman perfectly.
The house is beautiful. Her intervention is very nice, she has made it in her home. We all live differently and we design the modify the. Space around us to satisfy our perception of beauty. If they enjoy living there that is all that matter. When I design a space I develop a deep relationship with my client to better understand who my client is and how they will inhabit their new home. I recently remodelled a home for a retired couple and I was surprised by their wanting to bring their home into a more contemporary style. They even decided to let go of some old pieces of furniture that have been with them for a long time.
on the fence with some of the furniture choices. but my what a home..

The outside is amazing!
Wow stunning and it looks like a lot of the pieces in the house slot in nicely and seem to be in keeping with the era of the house; but it's as if it's not been done intentionally; it's just her taste/style!
Depressing. The architecture has so much potential, as well as the landscaping... It looks like she was trying her hand at minimalism, but ended up on the boring side. The modern furniture pieces feel so out of context that they look like she brought them from her previous place. This doesn't feel like a home at all. It's more like a sanatorium with random art pieces scattered around.

Her delivery is very flat. You don't feel the same passion for the space that most of the other owners have. Its probably because they're in LA, it feels like the house to her is more of a status thing than a home that's an extension of herself.

Becoming an interior designer while being married to really rich building contractor. Younger generations and especially women will make their careers differently. Without the money being given by marriage and with a true artistic vision. Not selling pattern, structure and "taste" to an upper class but as true artists for everybody. We are in 2021 now.
Nicely shot. Subtle movements, very nicely shot.. the dog was a great touch too.
This is A PALACE! Very spirited. Love.
I agree with the naysayers. I'm into modern, but this just feels like she brought in huber modern objects and furniture and did sparse placement like in a museum, not like a home. Most of the pieces I like individually, but no cohesive feel. That's the issue I have with her design style- her spaces feel like weird, random collection of expensive objects- museum, not homes. She's over rated.

I literally just watch the movie high note with Tracee Ellis Ross and Dakota Johnson. I watched this movie today and yesterday I watched this video how coincidental is that? The movie "high note" was great, but my favorite part was getting to see more parts of this incredible home as it was used for the set and the house that Tracee Ellis Ross character lived in.
Factual error: James Bond was created by Ian Fleming. This is public/historical knowledge.

Exterior is STUNNING, interior is cool.
I understand that people have different tastes, but this home lacks even the tiniest bit of personality. It's unfortunate, because I looked up the home and it looks like it used to have some, but was all removed and replaced with the most generic of contemporary looks. It has to be one of the most boring homes from the entire 'In Residence' series. Usually with these you can get a good sense of who the owner is by their home, or at the very least some areas of it, but I get nothing here.

It’s not a secret that she and her husband have been trying to sell this property for some time now. She really went all out with the decor as shown in her book “Hue”. However, to sell a home it has to look more restrained as the buyer doesn’t want to feel like he or she has to put in a ton of work adjusting it to his or her taste.
