There is a factor specific house Feel drab and muragnant. Although a house is well designed, it can still feel … in a way. That is usually happening if a space is lacking in the soul – if everything looks “right,” but no one feels personally. Deterred a neglected space with style and personality was what was turned into a house a house, and the designers Amanda Leigh and Taylor Hahn at La’s’s House of rolison Do it everyday.
Clearly their most recent project – a 1930’s Hollywood Hills Estate – lost something important. The bones there, but the world has gone. The rest is a generic feeling, and I dare say, pretty boring. That is, until Leigh and Hahn are swooped and changed it.
With rich textures, a moody color in the palette and bold, deliberate design, this house now no matter what. Ahead, we’ll take a tour of this once muted home and chat with the design team about bold reimagining.

What inspires the change, and what do you think of the late house?
We want to turn home without feeling as a copy of the past or a Pinterest Board of Trends. On our first walk, it feels like someone got all the charm. The structure is still strong, but the heart is lost. Our sight is to restore that meaning to materials used in the soul with history, after feeling, and a palette fed. Deep colors, textured walls, and vintage materials choose all to feel warm, a bit of cinematic, and truly infinite.
How do you decide what to preserve and what is modern at home?
Faithful, no one left to preserve, giving us some creation freedom. But we kept the original glass window window on the stairs – it’s one of the signs of household history – and we have built that spirit. We are healing vintage brick from the Facebook Marketplace (a lucky found!) And used it in the façade and in the courtyard to give home to age and texture. For modern pieces, we focus on things with lights like light, layout, and flow to make the house feel fresh.
This household feels bold on such an invitation to the road. What is your method of making that kind of color and design effect?
Bold should not have to mean cold. We want to make tension-moody tones with soft textures, clean lines mixed with patina, long distinctly difficult. It’s about walking in a way that feels rich but not overly formal. We want people to walk and feel something – but also knows immediately where they put their coffee.
You put in many owners and Dark Dark Colors at home – How do you think of choosing things that make a statement empty space?
Every bold moment should be earned. We want saturated tones and sculptural pieces, but the key is to give them the breathing space. We are nearly as gathering in a room, not to declare it – each element must have intent and small presence, even if it is subtle. Status pieces do not need mockups dancer; They only need the correct backdrop.
How do you approach the mix of old and new elements to keep the plot feeling and endless?
We always seek that balance. Even with a more contemporary household like this, we try to mix the pieces with a little soul – something vintage, a raw. It keeps space from feeling flat or excessively polished. We would like to feel it naturally united with time … even if it was done with a strict deadline and a lot of espresso.
Do you face any challenges in this design process? How do you beat it?
The biggest challenge is dialing the brave palette without allowing it to overdo the architecture. We want each space to have an effect, but not at the cost of consolidation. So we stayed unconvincingly focuses on edit – if something doesn’t agree with the vision, it doesn’t make it. And we obsessive about the tasks of details of things such as cutting stone outlets or withdrawing the storage where you could not expect it. Well beautiful, but if you can’t live it comfortable, it will miss the point.
To remember the finished project, have a certain part or element that is more proud?
Sure that outside. It’s a hodgepodge that we start, but we make it a whole vintage-vintage experience, and a layer who heals Europe, and it is so quiet. It’s one of the spaces where everything is together how we describe it.
