Kelly Wearstler fashioned the flagship Viceroy location in Santa Monica with a style she refers to as “Modern Colonialism,” a fusion of British Colonial impressions and bold, modern perspectives. For the public spaces, she selected eye-catching design elements such as an oversized cameo placed amongst a wall of mirrors at the lobby’s front desk, a large-scale, graphic-patterned rug in the Cameo Bar and a striking wall of diagonal bookshelves in the library, all of which are highlighted by a limed-wood floor that provides a polished yet organic undertone.
