Meet Your Instructor: Kelly Wearstler

Design ideas are everywhere. To show you how to look for your own inspiration, Kelly shares how a bracelet became the basis for a sconce and a vintage dress informed the design of the Villon restaurant at the San Francisco Proper Hotel.

Sources of Inspiration

Kelly teaches you how to ask the right initial questions that will get you started on your new project.

Starting a Project

Kelly reveals how to design your space like a boat, make a small space feel larger, and engage with existing architectural features to give your space a new spirit.

Working With Space

Go behind the scenes with Kelly as she walks you through the yet-to-open Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel. She shows you how she works with existing architectural features when starting a new design.

Field Trip: Working With Space

Wood, stone, tile, and metal are some of Kelly’s favorite materials. Discover how to create what she calls a “vibe tray” to play with materials and keep your project fluid.

Materiality in Design

According to Kelly, living without color is like living without love. Find out some easy, creative ways to invite colors into your home that make you feel good.

Living With Color

Kelly returns to the Downtown L.A. Proper Hotel to experiment with paint colors. You’ll learn how to apply paint and what to consider when testing colors.

Field Trip: Experimenting With Color

See how texture adds dimension to your design as Kelly shows you how the multitextured elements in the Santa Monica Proper Hotel lobby work harmoniously together.

Discovering Texture

Pattern is one of Kelly’s favorite design vehicles. Learn how to work with pattern, how it adds energy to a room, and how to choose the right pattern for your home.

Pattern: Movement and Scale

Lighting is everything. Kelly shares how to work with natural light, create a mood with dimmability, choose light bulbs, and add fun accents.

Lighting: Enhancing Your Space

Kelly invites you into her living room and talks about her design choices. Learn how to work with balance and symmetry to create a comfortable living room, see your furniture as sculpture, and choose the right sofa.

Furnishing: Balance and Comfort

Kelly encourages you to let your curiosity be your guide in collecting and displaying the objects that make you feel your best at home.
