Los Angeles and Hollywood Inspired Decor

Downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood Regency

The renaissance of Downtown LA in an ode to 1930’s prewar glamour and hope in the future of American cities. Today building cranes indicate the revitalization of this once neglected inner city gem and the Broad museum highlights the revival of art and architecture back to DTLA. Hotels, museums, restaurants, music and shopping bring locals and tourists back into this thriving inner city neighborhood with so many reasons to return.

Ace Hotel DTLA

Ace Hotel Downtown Los Angeles opened early 2014 in the historic United Artists building in Downtown LA. An ornate, storied and vibrant Los Angeles gem, Downtown is undergoing a renaissance. Built in 1927 for the maverick film studio, the UA theater and tower stand as monuments to a group of seminal American artists pushing out on their own.

 

The History of the Theatre District 

The Tower was the first movie theatre in Los Angeles to be wired for sound, and the sneak preview of The Jazz Singer—held one night before its official premiere in New York—makes the Tower the first movie theatre in the world to have publicly shown a feature-length talking picture.

Hollywood Regency Inspired Decor

 

Hollywood Regency is known for its glamour, drama and new twist on old classics. The style became popular in the 1930s during the golden age of Hollywood. William Haines designed homes for movie stars that made them larger than life with sleek low-lying furnishings and sumptuously dressed walls and windows, while Dorothy Draper’s larger-than-life personality filled great halls and hotels with bright colors and big, bold patterns. Hollywood Regency gradually entered homes across America with the popularity of key elements, like tufted sofas and modern Greek and Egyptian influenced fretwork, patterns and furniture silhouettes.

 

Neo Classical Accents are prevalent in the Regency style.  This silver and black coffee table has classic greek lines and lends itself to a very glamorous  Hollywood style.

 

 

We have a new selection of affordable pillows in stock for the fall.  These white pillows with embroidered details  and down inserts are classic and timeless and fit the regency style.

The Broad

The Broad is a new contemporary art museum founded by philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad on Grand Avenue in downtown Los Angeles. The museum is designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro in collaboration with Gensler and offers free general admission. The museum is home to the 2,000 works of art in the Broad collection, which is among the most prominent holdings of postwar and contemporary art worldwide.

 

 

 

Eli and Edye Broad have been building their collection of postwar and contemporary art over the last five decades. With a belief that the greatest art collections are built when the art is being made, the Broads took to collecting art of their own time

 

OTIUM 
The restaurant’s name, Otium, has its roots in Latin, a word that is meant to emphasize a place where time can be spent on leisurely social activities. Adjacent to one of Los Angeles’ most important cultural corridors — Grand Avenue and next to its newest,most vibrant addition, the contemporary art museum, The Broad.

 

Bold color and Greek Revival

 

Key elements in Hollywood Regency include neoclassical elements, rebirthed from mid-19th century European designs, as well as rich textiles, sumptuously tufted seating, and dramatic elements like oversized sculptures, bold color ways, or over-the-top feminine touches. Our Miraloma sofa is a contemporary spinoff on a classic tuxedo style with streamlined seams to add a flair of Hollywood glamor

 

This vintage purple sphere glass lamp with a new silk grey shade adds a a dramatic  statement of bold color and style.  The lamp sits on top of a rose gold and glass end table to add a grand gesture to any room

 

Neoclassicism is the name given to Western movements in the decorative and visual arts, literature, theatre, music, and architecture that draw inspiration from the “classical” art and culture of Ancient Greece or Ancient Rome. The main Neoclassical movement coincided with the 18th-century Age of Enlightenment, and continued into the early 19th century, latterly competing with Romanticism. In architecture, the style continued throughout the 19th, 20th and up to the 21st century.
