Laurel Canyon House Tour Refined by Brigette Romanek

June 26, 2018
  • Share

Taking a quick break from the COCOCOZY Design House craziness for a Laurel Canyon home tour!

I lived just east of Laurel Canyon for such a long time, so this one hits home for me. I love the rustic nature of living in the hills above Los Angeles. One of my favorite things is finding a really refined spaced in the midst of the windy roads. This grand 1925 Mediterranean-style mansion belonging to interior designer Brigette Romanek and her husband Mark is quite fantastic. It is a 2800-square-metre untraditional family home (previously owned by legendary music producer Rick Rubin) that has true California refinement and obvious musical history.  

Let’s take a peek (below)!

Love this shot of the family dog hanging in the foyer. Reminds me of Mr. Boo!

This five-bedroom, 10-bathroom home channels the vibe of an Italian country villa with the balustrade and the red tile roof. Then there is the to die for grey and white marble checkered entry. If I had an endless budget, my front walk and foyer would look like this. There’s something sophisticated and classic about entering the home on a tumbled marble checkered floor sourced from a French chateau. Believe it or not, this flooring was once Terracotta.

The exterior screams casual sophistication.

Books and photographs add so much personality to any space.

The floor-to-ceiling wood panel library is cool and oh-so cozy with the modern furniture.

Brigette chose a dark, earthy palette for the kitchen — a risky move that totally paid off!

The arched windows and doors throughout the home are an absolute YES.

Brigette and Mark decided to let the architecture of the home speak for itself by keeping the decor sleek and simple. Here you can see a Hans J Wegner hammock-style chaise lounge, a pair of Marco Zanuso armchairs, goatskin carpets, African stools, and photographs by Richard Avedon and Larry Sultan.

I could stare at this mirrored bathroom all day!

This leafy green oasis would be my dream room for my morning coffee!

You can tell how selective Brigette was with picking minimal but perfect pieces for each room.

You can tell there’s a lot of history in this colorful library!

A job well done by an incredible designer!

I love how this home clearly has a ton of history, but also has a modern twist. A classic!

On that thought… time to get back to the Design House! Will update you soon!

This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris wa This 300m² Haussmannian duplex in central Paris was designed to function as both a home and a gallery and the distinction between the two is impossible to find.
Every room treats art and objects with the same weight as furniture, nothing is decorative for its own sake, everything is placed with intention.
The Haussmannian bones, ornate cornicing, herringbone parquet, original stained glass ceiling, stay intact throughout. Natural and handcrafted materials do the rest.

So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her b So proud of my dear friend Kristi Bender and her business partner Wendy Schwartz on the launch of Petal Promenade for @cuff_studio. 👏
This new collection feels like such a beautiful evolution. Inspired by their Manhattan Flower District showroom, it brings together the romance of classic decorative arts with a fresh, modern perspective in a way that feels bold, artistic, and incredibly thoughtful.
If you are attending ICFF 2026, make sure to stop by Booth W1048 and experience Petal Promenade in person. Congratulations, Kristi and Wendy. This collection is truly something special. ✨
