A Beautifully Collected Home with Timeless, Traditional Style

We’re in the Hollywood Hills visiting textile and interiors designer Sean Leffers at his beautiful 1930s Neo-classical home.

A voracious collector and world traveler, nearly every item Sean has filled this home with is antique or vintage, from a 17th-century Peruvian desk to Tang Dynasty polo players and lighting reclaimed from the Waldorf Astoria New York.

The walls are adorned with meaningful paintings and sculptures by friends and local artists, but this house is anything but precious. Floor cushions invite lounging, books spill across tables, and the rooms are designed for everyday life for Sean and his two sons.

Traditional at its core but layered with global influence, the house feels collected, personal, and just a little bit unexpected.
