Laurel Canyon bachelor pad gets a fun, funky update

In the first-floor lounge, designer Erinn Valencich installed mirrors on the walls and planters to help brighten the room. "Mirrors capture the light and bounce it around," Valencich said. Behind the Design Within Reach sofa, Valencich placed two gilded screens from Arteriors to create a unique background. Adding more drama: a graphic Paul Smith Rug from the Rug Company.

Interior designer Erinn Valencich designed this Laurel Canyon home for a young bachelor who likes to entertain. Valencich softened the modern home's clean lines, cork flooring and glass windows with graphic textiles and rugs, textured wall coverings and whimsical accessories from Jonathan Adler. "He is always entertaining and likes to throw parties," she said. "He wanted something with a midcentury funky vibe." Look for Valencich when she appears on the new Nate Berkus design show "American Dream Builders," premiering March 23 on NBC.
