Exactly How to Get Denise Vasi's Striking Old-World Décor Style at Home

A quick glance at Denise Vasi's home is all it takes to realize it's just as striking as she is. High ceilings are lined with reclaimed beams. Each wall is textured: veined marble, concrete, wood. The light pours in through the floor-to-ceiling cast-iron doors and windows. In the center of the living room, a loungey denim sectional shines in its bright blue splendour—the same hue as Vasi's eyes. Yes, the actress and founder of lifestyle site, maed, has style in spades, and she used it to curate the perfect Venice Beach home that she shares with her husband, Anthony, and her daughter, Lennox Mae.

What exactly constitutes Vasi's décor style? Striking colors, patterns, and textures: royal blue velvet, denim patchwork… Each room is given a rich sense of history with ornate antiques: a wrought-iron chandelier here, a gilded turned-leg console there. Perhaps most notable is the walls—dark, moody, and textured, giving all her décor choices a consistent backdrop. Want to decorate like Vasi? We break down her décor style—along with a few handy shopping tips.

Vasi's stunning kitchen went viral and for good reason: The contrast between the deeply veined marble wall and black marble island is striking against the reclaimed wood beams on the ceiling. But in the end, the accessories make all the difference.
