While an outdoor salon filled with antique rugs and crystal sconces may seem capricious, it’s pure Windsor Smith. The designer is known for breaking the rules and injecting traditional spaces with the unexpected. An antiques-dealer-turned-interior designer, she’s had a busy couple of years. Her Windsor Smith Home collection of furniture launched in 2007, and this year she added a line of fabrics and carpets through Kravet. Then there’s her day job—creating timeless-with-a-twist interiors for Hollywood’s elite.
Downtime is cherished. With “walls” constructed of vibrant blue trellises and a prime location just off the great room of Windsor’s home, the outdoor oasis allows her to remain close to her husband, Anthony, and two teenaged sons, Trinity and Oliver, as they lounge poolside or vie for points on the tennis courts.
“Women are absolutely riddled with guilt when we want something of our own,” says Windsor. “So I created this space where I can still be next to my family when I’m stealing time for myself.”
