Inside the Home of Dr. 90210

Last week I had the opportunity to tour a striking rustic modern home nestled behind gorgeous palm trees in the canyons of Beverly Hills. This home captivated me with its distinct style and energy. It is the home of a prominent Beverly Hills plastic surgeon. A true artist, he has completely designed the house on his own and has done an incredible job. He has used a variety of elements- including wood, steel, glass, and leather to create a perfect balance of flow and harmony throughout the house. I was quite inspired by his creativity and vision, as the space is both masculine and inviting. Dr. 90210 was kind enough to sit with me for an exclusive interview over some mimosas.

Q: If you could describe the style of your home in one word, what would it be?

Naturistic.

Q: What was your inspiration for designing the interior of your home?

I was inspired by the environment. Once I had my inspiration, that allowed me to select my colors. I decided to go with blue walls and build from there.

Q: In your opinion, what makes a great room?

Balance. I think a room should have a balance in weight, in color, in size, and in texture. All the elements have to flow equally.

Q: What room was your favorite room to decorate, and why?
The living room was my favorite room to decorate. Because of its size, it afforded me the opportunity to bring together a variety of textures.

Q: Where was your favorite store to shop from?

Everywhere- I tried to avoid getting too many pieces from any given source. I think that store products are predictable in their design, so my goal was to mix a variety of items from numerous sources.

Q: What are the best ways to save money if someone is on a budget but wants high style? 

Create your own art. I think everyone is an artist and should have one piece of art that they have created themselves. Photography is an art and it allows you to document your life.

Q: If someone is on a budget but can splurge on only thing, what would it be?
Surround sound. It is important for every room to have the same level of music. With surround sound, everyone has the same experience regardless of whether they are in the dining room or in the patio.

In the living room, cushions were purchased from Z Gallerie and Pottery Barn to add a pop of color to the palette of browns.   

The cow hide rug combined with the leather couch situated under a steel lamp and silk curtains add texture to this nook.

In the bar area, textures mix beautifully by combining the steel bar, wood wine rack, and vintage leopard bar chairs.

Personal photography from a safari trip in Africa is art as well as a way to document travels.

This West Elm chandelier magnifies the rustic tones of the dining area with its color and material.

Created by the owner himself, oversize leaves on large canvas bring the outdoors in.

Another contemporary art piece by the owner adds a pop of color and uniqueness to this home office.

The mirrors in the powder room were purchased from IKEA and strategically assembled to create this look.

This mirror from Restoration Hardware serves as the focal point of the entry way.
