entertaining hotspot – and Beverly Hills dream.

Throughout the process, Korzen and the

kids took their role of client very seriously in

the ultimate collision of Wearstler’s two worlds.

“Educating my sons’ eyes, taking them to auctions

and choosing furniture is a great joy,” she says. “As

with any project, the ones where the client has a

strong voice turn out the best.” Here, the message

is loud and clear. “Our home feels like our family.”

WEARSTLER’S

STYLE RULES

1

To achieve balance, there

must be a thoughtful mix

of texture, history,

pattern and colour.

2

Scale is imperative. Quieter

details are necessary to ground

bigger voices and allow

statement pieces to shine.

3

The elements within

the space should have a

dialogue with one another.

There has to be a hierarchy

within a space.
