I’m loving Olivia Wilde’s home in Venice, CA showcased in InStyle’s June 2009 issue. In case you’re not familiar with her she plays Doctor Remy “Thirteen” Hadley on the Fox TV show House as well as smaller roles in movies such as Year One (2009), Alpha Dog (2006), and The Girl Next Door (2004).
This birch bookcase was designed based on those found at Equator Books in Venice, CA. She also collects treasures such as those pictured here including a pair of black-and-white ceramic swans, a black-and-white painting by Matthew Heller (top of bookcase), and a 1917 typewriter.
Olivia’s 2,000-square-foot home in Venice, CA was designed by architect Mark Mack who specifically designed the cobalt kitchen cabinets, concrete floors, and metal staircase. I love how she has combined rustic antique pieces with modern pieces and used inspiration from various places around the world to create a unique home for herself and her husband, Prince Tao Ruspoli, an American filmmaker and musician.
The photo titled Hands by Robert Stivers is the centerpiece of the sitting area in the office. It’s accompanied by a plush rug, elegant purple and gold drapes, and a glass coffee table supported by metal ram’s heads.
The wallpaper in the bedroom is inspired by Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds from Walnut Wallpaper in L.A. The bed frame is adorned with faux fur to add texture to the space. Peony bedding by DK essentials (bloomingdales.com), Paul Frankl cork-top bench (modern1.com), vintage Murano glass lamp (downtown20.net).
The closet is inspired by Le Meurice hotel and Le Dali restaurant in Paris. It’s decorated with a plush rug from Cantoni, a black glass chandelier from Lawson-Fenning, two mirrored chests from Anthropologie, and a 19th-century mirrored vanity from the South of France. She looks so excited in her personally designed closet!
The home has its very own zen corner (left) with an Indian table, a Japanese paper lantern, and a painting by Terrell Moore. The kitchen (right) has a mix of worn furniture and modern stainless steel appliances. Love her outfit here!
I love how the wooden beams in the ceiling are exposed in the dining room (left) and the random artwork on the walls. The natural light entering through the clear resin sliding screen doors displays Olivia’s love of nature (right).
I hope you enjoy her place and creativity throughout her home as much as I do! There will be much more to come on Olivia Wilde in the near future, including workout secrets, nutrition, beauty, fashion, and her participation in various organizations around the world! See you soon!
