The Holboro House Interiors in Los Feliz Are a Saccharine Treat
The Holboro House, a 1990s postmodern residence in Los Feliz, California, has undergone a significant interior transformation by the Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary design firm Another Human, led by principal Leah Ring. Rather than a comprehensive renovation of the 4,000-square-foot home, the project focused on high-impact changes to specific areas, yielding substantial aesthetic returns. The exterior, primarily gray and white, offers a preview of the playful interior through updates like black slate tiles on the stairs, geometric sconces, and a periwinkle blue accent front door.
Upon entering, guests are greeted by blue-stained hardwood floors that lead into the main living and dining spaces. Ring's design strategy addresses the home's generous proportions and rectilinear interior volume by employing a bright color palette, soft line breaks, and rounded, cozy furniture shapes. This combination creates a visually appealing and energetic atmosphere without being overwhelming. Leah Ring notes her intuitive approach to color, expressing a particular affinity for cooler shades, which guided the selection of greens, blues, and purples for the living and dining areas. She emphasizes the importance of balancing form and color to achieve harmonious spaces, highlighting how the curved forms in the living room contribute to an airy, ethereal ambiance.
In the living room, walls painted in a shade between mint and pistachio provide a vibrant backdrop. Technical yet whimsical treatments include Kvadrat Asami blue pleated sheers, which add physical softness and human scale. A curvilinear, amorphous blue plaster fireplace was sculpted to replace the original one, integrating seamlessly into the refreshed aesthetic. The space also features vintage elements such as Murano sconces, postmodern chairs reupholstered in Kvadrat’s Atom bouclé fabric by Raf Simons, and an Eileen Grey Reproduction side table. A large, curvaceous sofa and a detached ottoman define the seating area, facilitating interaction between guests in the living and dining rooms, aligning with the homeowners' desire for an entertaining-friendly space.
The green wall color extends into the dining room, where a custom raspberry Waka Waka table is paired with blue Bruno Rey chairs from Design Within Reach. A Hem chandelier hangs overhead, complementing a vintage console. The homeowners, with backgrounds in entertainment and advertising, were actively involved in the design process, notably selecting the raspberry color for the dining table. This collaborative approach underscores Another Human's commitment to client engagement and tailored design.
The primary bedroom also received a sophisticated update, shifting from the vibrant living spaces to a more muted, futuristic aesthetic. Tonal grays are contrasted with a Radici purple carpet and minimalist elements, reinterpreting the postmodern style. Ring designed a custom velvet corduroy upholstered bed frame with a long bolster pillow made from Sahco Saji fabric. A gray glass dresser and two matching nightstands, flanked by chrome and metal sconces from Lumens, complete the bedside setup. The window treatments comprise dual sets of sheer and blackout curtains, allowing for varying light and colored casts within the room. A striking floor-to-ceiling gray marble fireplace surround, accented with purple veining, replaced the original black granite. Adjacent to this focal point, a custom bench upholstered in the same green fabric as the bolster pillow ties the design together. This project, a result of the synergy between Another Human, general contractor Elliot Wall of Elliot Builders, and the clients, showcases a spectacular blend of aesthetic vision and bold decision-making across the three completed spaces.
