So, Kelly Wearstler. How did you do it? How did you become one of Hollywood’s most-sought-after-designers? Care to share your secrets?
Kelly Wearstler is known for her glamorous interiors. Some say she recreated the Hollywood Regency look. She was named “mega-decorater” in 2008 by Domino magazine. If you look at her work it seems to be focused on symmetry, a bold color palette and mixing vintage with modern. Her husband is the owner of a Kor Hotel Group (and it is a GROUP of hotels . . .all over the world). She is the main interior designer in such hotels. She’s most well known for the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica.
She’s started her own line of linens and bedding and probably more in the future. The name of her studio is House of KWID or Kelly Wearstler Interior Design.
I think her work is very fun and different. It’s beautiful and at the same time cozy. If I could ask her one question it would be: does all her work stem from a concept, or is it pulling furnishings and materials together to create “a look”?
