For this renovation in Los Angeles, the goal was to create a home that reflected a new stage in its owners’ lives. Working with designer Coco Greenblum, the project became an opportunity to align the interiors with the couple’s personal histories, creative professions, and connection to the city they have always called home.
The clients, an executive film producer and talent manager and a television writer, had recently purchased the property as they entered a new chapter together. They wanted the house to feel lighter, calmer, and more reflective of their personalities, while still embracing the energy and creativity that define Los Angeles. To achieve this, they turned to Coco Greenblum, beginning a collaboration that would shape every aspect of the renovation.
The project was built around layers of color, texture, and collected pieces. Mid-century furniture became a defining element of the interiors, with antiques making up the majority of the home’s furnishings. These pieces bring character and history to each room, creating a sense of continuity between past and present.
Color plays an important role throughout the house. Multiple hues appear within the same spaces, yet the interiors avoid feeling busy or overwhelming. Greenblum approached the palette with careful restraint, drawing from historic mid-century color schemes and adapting them for a contemporary setting. The various colors work together to create a cohesive atmosphere, bringing warmth, character, and a sense of balance to the interiors.
What makes the project particularly compelling is its balance between nostalgia and freshness. The influence of mid-century design is visible throughout, but it is never treated as a period recreation. Historic references are reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, allowing the interiors to feel current while maintaining a connection to the past.
The renovation also reflects a broader idea about how homes evolve alongside the people who inhabit them. Rather than focusing on architectural transformation alone, the project considers how spaces can support personal change and everyday life.
