American interior designer Kelly Wearstler scoured vintage shops to source the eclectic furniture that decorates the living room-style lobby of this hotel in Santa Monica, California.

Santa Monica Proper occupies the 1920s Santa Monica Professional Building and a curvilinear extension designed by local firm Howard Laks Architects.
Located on Wilshire Boulevard in the coastal Californian city, it forms the lastest in the Proper hotel chain Wearstler runs with her husband Brad Korzen and Brian De Lowe.

Wearstler also designed the San Francisco Proper that features clashing patterns, colours and textures, and vintage furniture.
The interior designer developed the Santa Monica outpost to incorporate a similarly eclectic mix of details in palettes that allude to its beach setting.
The sprawling lobby and ground floor restaurant contains a mix of contemporary furniture and repurposed finds from vintage shops. She chose the eclectic mix paired with various greenery to make it feel like a large living room, to encourage visitors to relax.

"When we started with all the design, we started shopping for all the furniture and it took quite some time," Wearstler told Dezeen.
"They are not just the normal vintage pieces that you would associate with California easy living," she added. "There's a lot of really great anomaly."
