Description Starry Sky: Los Angeles

LA may have a reputation for excess and exuberance, but this home proves that the city is at its finest when it’s pared back a little. The designer has made use of natural materials like driftwood and pale stone to create a sanctuary that’ll make you feel more relaxed the moment you step through the door. The decor is decidedly minimalist, with enormous windows opening out to leafy garden views and large-scale monochrome artwork adorning the walls – and of course, there’s lots of stylish houseplants scattered around the home. Head out to the garden to enjoy a meal beneath wicker lanterns and twinkling fairy lights as night falls and all the stars of Hollywood come out to play.

Home truths:
* The sofa folds out into an additional sleeping space if needed
* Previous guests have noted that the home is located on quite a steep hill
