Actress Amber Valetta invited InStyle magazine into her recently renovated Santa Monica home. The result of the renovation is a charming, colorful abode in which each room has its own personality. She didn’t shy away from color, embracing it in every space, including the trim on the exterior which is a lovely shade of blue. What is also inspiring about this home is the use of texture and pattern that adds to the overall character and brings out the unique features of the home. Take a look at this vibrant home tour…
Blue trim adds a pop of color and character to the exterior of the home.
The wallpaper on the accent wall has a texture and sheen to it that draws your eye to the window.
This neutral space is clean and elegant, allowing the pop of color in the art over the fireplace to be the star of the space.
The wallpaper behind the dining room table is a handpainted de Gournay mural, which adds a feminine touch to the contemporary space.
The kitchen is clean and open with walnut cabinets and white countertops. The pendants bring an industrial touch to the space.
The juxtaposition of the rough stone basin and the soft Moroccan tiles play with texture to create interest in the bathroom.
A deep, subtle blue covers the walls and bookshelves in the home office to create an inspiring atmosphere.
One of the coolest tricks for a bookshelf is arranging all the books by color for an eye-catching look.
The hallway hosts a family gallery wall and two narrow tables with more framed photographs. The colorfully striped rug plays well off the photographs.
Hot pink walls look fresh in this bedroom when mixed with a healthy dose of white accents and black and white photos.
The ceiling is as much a canvas as the walls as seen here in hand-painted wallpaper of the reading area off the master bedroom.
Amber boldly used color to achieve charm and character in her home. Which room inspired you the most?
Warm regards,
Megan
