As the worlds of fashion and interior design become more intertwined than ever, our new series takes you inside the stylish homes of men and women with a real eye for design. Next up is Barry's Bootcamp CEO Joey Gonzalez and his airy villa in West Hollywood.
Gonzalez bought the property in 2016 with his husband, Jonathan Rollo, for his parents. The bright, Mediterranean-inspired home, available to rent via One Fine Stay, was influenced by Gonzalez's Italian mother, who - since moving to Chicago - has dreamt of a warm climate with indoor and outdoor living. The couple were inspired by Spanish colonial architecture, combining baroque elements with modernity, reflected in the white stucco exterior, wood beams and ornate tiling.
Here. Gonzales talks us though his interiors influences, from key pieces to colour concepts.
“One of my favourite rooms – the living room. The vaulted ceilings mimic the arched window which we redid in a contemporary black steel. What you can’t see, is that behind the photographer, the old original wooden arched window was converted into a mirror and hangs directly opposite the new window. It’s an amazing room that juxtaposes the style of the 1920s with a touch of 21st century.”
