Musician Isom Innis and his fiancée, actress Carlson Young, relax in the music studio of their downtown Los Angeles loft.

At the center of the loft, a vintage wooden screen from 1stdibs divides the space and adds a homey feel.

A music room in the loft is distinguished by two-tone green walls and a record player that rests on a burlwood Milo Baughman table from Venice Vintage Paradise. Finishing off the room is a print of a famous Richard Avedon photo of English model Jean Shrimpton. “I just love Jean Shrimpton,” says Carlson Young. “It really makes the area.”

The couple created an island for the kitchen by topping a commerical cabinet from a restaurant supply store with a Carrara marble top. Wallpaper was added to the base to give it a creative feel.

Interior designer Caroline Walkup painted a peach-colored drip mural to distinguish the entrance from the rest of the open loft.

Matte-black walls in the master bedroom create a sophisticated, serene getaway along with midcentury side tables, a tangled chandelier from Schoolhouse Electric and layers of textiles -- fur throws, cotton bedding, kilim and jute rugs.

“I wanted a sophisticated, creative but serene bedroom,” says Carlson Young. “You just walk in and feel comfortable.”

The loft is decorated with a number of artworks from the nonprofit Exceptional Children’s Foundation in downtown Los Angeles.

At the far end of the loft is a studio for Innis, a musician and producer who has toured and played with Foster the People. In addition to musical instruments, the studio includes a sleeper sofa for overnight guests. Joyce Pickens hung the stunning salon wall featuring framed artwork from the nonprofit Exceptional Children’s Foundation.

“It was important to create a cohesive vibe,” says Carlson Young. “We wanted a place where we could be comfortable working and be inspired and feel at home.” To judge by Franny, the comfort part appears to function.
