8 lessons we learnt about luxury from this $12m contemporary farmhouse home

When you build a home in one of LA’s most sort-after neighborhoods you want the interior design to match the glamorous setting. This newly built six-bedroom house is located above Sunset Boulevard in the Brentwood district of Los Angeles and is packed with luxurious finishes and design details that make it one of the world’s best homes.

There are many striking living room ideas here that would lend a touch of luxury to any style of home. The raw cedar cladding on the ceiling, which Jae describes as ‘aromatic’ shows that every detail, and indeed every sense, has been considered here. The cladding appears throughout the home’s public spaces and besides providing a glamorous finish, it gives a warm cocooning feel to the environment, and provides a comforting connection between the home and the natural world outside.

Space is surely the ultimate luxury, and the indulgent use of space in Jae’s hallway ideas are sure to create a lasting first impression. ‘Light and bright with a wall of glass, the custom railing is delicately set into each solid white oak tread,’ says Jae of this extravagant stairway. If there’s room for a wider staircase, it will pay dividends in the overall architectural look of the space.

There are six bedrooms in the property, all of which are luxurious, but for this primary suite Jae specified a double-height, textured marble fireplace. Contrasting with the white and neutral bedroom ideas elsewhere in the room, the marble makes a striking statement. The vaulted ceilings and walls are clad in white planking, with a crown chandelier from Nemo.
