A Sumptuous Palm Springs Retreat with a 1970s Aesthetic | Open House TV
Join interior designer Christopher Kennedy as he invites us into his forever home in sunny Palm Springs, California. Built in 1978 and spanning 3200 square feet, this gorgeous home honors the ‘70s aesthetic through neutral tones and interesting touches reminiscent of that era, including: a sumptuous shag rug, a Brutalist-style chandelier, curved sofas covered in a beautiful white boucle fabric, textured throw pillows, and more.
From the expansive great room with views of the golf course and San Jacinto Mountains right outside to the welcoming kitchen with its sand-colored oak cabinetry that references a desert landscape with a sand mirror tiles with an antique finish that help bounce light around, this home is full of nostalgic statement pieces that pay homage to the original architecture while also serving as a relaxing retreat that's perfect for entertaining.
As for other points of interest? The belvedere granite bar area inlayed with brass detailing that includes sculptural walnut stools covered in leather for seating; the centerpiece fireplace clad in cork with gold flecks that allow it to really sparkle and shine at night; the vintage chairs in the dining room that are a nod to Kennedy’s husband’s love of Star Trek; an intimate media room filled with art that represents Kennedy's 20+ year relationship journey with his husband; a primary bedroom that features a beaded curtain that simulates a glamorous headboard and adds definition and a sense of privacy to the space, along with three large sliding doors that fill the room with natural light; and an outdoor lounging area with a fire pit and pool that exudes quintessential resort-style living vibes.
