This Beverly Hills Home Was Transformed From "Complete Disarray" to a Mid-Century Marvel and Cocooning Family Nest

A living room with a modular, red velvet sofa, framed mirrors sitting next to each other on a wall, see-through curtains, and a large beige rug.

Interior designer Kevin Klein went to elementary school with a close family member of this Southern Californian home's owners and had remained friends with the occupants for years. When they inherited a sprawling property in the exclusive Beverly Hills area, it was only natural that they called on him.

The house had been passed down from the husband's father, who had himself begun the renovations. "It was in complete disarray," explains Klein, founder of Kevin Klein Design. "The owners had just gotten married and were expecting their first child when they were gifted the property."
