House Into a Minimalist Cozy Sanctuary"},"content":{"rendered":"

After helping headline one of the year’s biggest movie events, Lupita Nyong’o<\/a> is making news for something a little closer to home.<\/p>\n

The Oscar winner recently opened the doors to her Los Angeles residence to Elle Decor<\/a> after partnering with Crate & Barrel to redesign key living spaces, revealing a warm, minimalist retreat that reflects her personal style. The makeover comes as Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey continues its record-breaking run at the global box office.<\/p>\n

Three years after moving into the California home, Nyong’o enlisted Crate & Barrel’s Design Desk to refresh her living room and outdoor patio with an emphasis on comfort, natural materials, and an easy indoor-outdoor flow. The finished space features neutral furnishings, soft textures, sculptural furniture, and floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n

“I wanted a space that felt vibrant, with soft, textured layers and elegant accents,” Nyong’o said of the redesign. “Clutter-free, but still cozy.”<\/p>\n

She added that the home’s layout was designed to make the scenery part of the experience.<\/p>\n

“I wanted the outdoors to be the art in the room, so I craved a seating arrangement that let everyone soak in the view,” she explained. “Now it finally feels the way I have wanted it to since I moved in: lived-in, inviting, a place where I can relax.”<\/p>\n

The home reveal arrives as The Odyssey continues to exceed even the loftiest commercial expectations. According to Variety<\/a>, Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s epic poem has already generated more than $652 million worldwide in just 10 days, including $289 million domestically and $362 million internationally. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After helping headline one of the year’s biggest movie events, Lupita Nyong’o is making news for something a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":414341,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[48,52,51,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-414340","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=414340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/414340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/414341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=414340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=414340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=414340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
