Jeff Andrews Design

Earlier today I brought you a Designer Spotlight on the remarkably talented LA-based interior designer Jeff Andrews. Andrews's work is truly inspiring and never ceases to impress me, so I reached out to Jeff to get to know him a little better and hear about his latest projects and his challenges as a designer. Read my interview below!

CasaSugar: What projects are you working on now?

Jeff Andrews: I am working on the Showtime Showcase House in New York. The room I'm designing is inspired by the Showtime series Dexter. The house opens in September. I am also designing a home for Kris Jenner, which will be amazing. She is an inspiration. Finishing up a home for Lamar Odom and Khloe Kardashian Odom . . . love them! Designing a beachfront home for my best friend and client Jennifer Messer (our fourth project together) and a condo project for TV host Marc Summers and his wife, Alice. Things are busy around here! I am blessed.

CS: How would you describe the style of your own home?

JA: Kind of a mix of styles. I like to be surrounded by things I love . . . cool art, pottery, great fabrics, and dark, rich colors. My furniture is a range of Danish modern, Deco, and flea market hodge-podge. My home has evolved with my taste. It is almost time for a new one . . . damn that evolution!

CS: What's your biggest challenge when taking on a new project?

JA: Fitting it all in. I want to have the time to devote to the design process with each client. Details are so important. When juggling several projects, which are all at different phases, it can be a challenge. I'm a perfectionist and sometimes time is not my friend.

Back in April, I shared an exclusive sneak peek of Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's office from Los Angeles-based interior designer Jeff Andrews, which you all seemed to love! Needless to say, this Designer Spotlight is long overdue, as Andrews is one of the most talented and sought-after designers around — as well as one of my favorites.

You may already be familiar with Andrews's work, as it has appeared in the pages of Architectural Digest, Metropolitan Home, House Beautiful, Vogue Living, California Home + Design, and more. He has trotted the globe designing properties in the Hollywood Hills, Malibu, the Hamptons, Minnesota, Beverly Hills, Manhattan, and Rome for celebs like Ryan Seacrest, America Ferrera, Michael C. Hall, and more.

Andrews's signature style blends an eclectic mix of modern and vintage pieces for a high-design look that's contemporary and comfortable, while incredibly sophisticated. Inspired by nature, he incorporates accessories made of natural elements like wood and stone and colors keyed to outdoor landscapes. Often using monochrome palettes, he lets intriguing shapes, alluring finishes, and captivating patterns do the talking, with one-of-a-kind artwork and statement-making accessories bringing personality to his interiors. Catering to his clients' unique lifestyles and needs, Andrews's designs focus as much on functional solutions as they do on personal style — and that, my friends, is what makes a house a home.

Check out some of Andrews's work below and stay tuned for my exclusive interview with him!

Jeff Andrews is one of the most talented and sought-after interior designers in Los Angeles, so I am very excited that he's brought us a look at one of his latest projects: the new home of Khloe Kardashian! Today, Jeff brings us an exclusive peek at her newly decorated home office and shows you how to get this luxurious look! Check it out below!

When I first met Khloe Kardashian in late 2009, I knew we would work well together. Our mutual friend and my client Ryan Seacrest made the introduction, and we hit it off right away. Khloe's style is young, fresh, and glamorous, but she also appreciates traditional styles and influences. So one of the great challenges that we tackled together on this collaboration was striking the right balance. The end result? A "glam-traditional" pad for her and husband Lamar Odom to relax and entertain family and friends. The overall style of the home, perfectly represented by her office, is sophisticated, upscale, and livable all at the same time.

1. Desk chair. This chair is from a designer, trade-only showroom. Occasionally, this type of store will open their doors to consumers to buy direct. Keep an eye out for these (the LA Mart in Los Angeles has one coming up soon) and choose a showroom floor model. You can get high-end style and refinement at a fraction of the price.
2. Guest chairs. These are vintage chairs Khloe owned but didn’t love. Rather than be wasteful, I found two great fabrics, one with subtle sparkle and one solid, and reupholstered the chairs. Reusing and repurposing furniture and accessories is a great way to be green! It is also a great way to save money. You can reupholster on literally any budget from DIY to high-end. Another tip is to use the same fabric, again in two ways, to make custom throw pillows. You can find fabric at so many locations from craft stores to flea markets to places like the fashion district in downtown Los Angeles.
