As a celebrity style editor, I've noticed that one of the most significant shifts in modern home design is the way spaces are increasingly conceived in conversation with the landscape. More often, architects are designing gardens to become part of everyday living – and Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker’s living room is one of my favorite examples of such an approach.
Set in Calabasas, California, the home was designed by Waldo Fernandez, whose work is celebrated for its restrained yet livable elegance. The interiors were designed as a place of retreat, with natural materials, generous proportions, and a palette that allows light and texture to take the lead. The open-plan living room sits at the center of the home, flowing directly onto Mediterranean gardens and outdoor seating areas.
While their home invites a sense of openness through its architectural design, it's emphasized through their choice in furniture and materials. As Daniel Smith, founder of Danetti, explains, 'Blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor living starts with choosing pieces that borrow their calm and character from nature.'

Vasagle Maezo Collection Side Table
While Kourtney opted for a raw wooden stump beside her sofa, you can capture that same earthy warmth with this round side table. Its honey-brown finish beautifully mirrors the natural wood tones in her living space.
The beauty of Kourtney’s space relies on how broad brown accents subtly anchor an otherwise airy, neutral room. Layering these cotton velvet pillow covers onto a light sofa quickly recreates her tactile luxury.
Miulee Back Tab Beige Curtains
In this living room, the boundary between indoors and out is clearly key, and framing that transition with rich textiles softens the open architecture. These velvet drapes mimic her space while bringing luxurious warmth to your own windows or archways.

To ground your space with the same warm minimalism, this area rug offers the perfect foundation. The rich earthy tones echo Kourtney's cozy brown armchairs and the natural landscape seen from her open archways.
The power of a perfect pillow needs to be studied, especially when capturing the effortless comfort of Kourtney and Travis's living room. This plush cotton velvet design brings the exact tactile warmth and earthy sophistication needed to ground a large, airy space.
In Kourtney and Travis’s living room, that philosophy is evident in the low seating, neutral slipcovers, and warm terracotta upholstery. The arrangement avoids a formal layout in favor of a more conversational one that mirrors the landscape beyond.
Daniel explains: 'When you introduce furniture with soft curves, organic silhouettes and tactile finishes, you are creating that restorative ease we associate with being outside. A sofa that echoes the gentle contours of coastal dunes, a ceramic table with veining reminiscent of waves, or an accent chair shaped like smooth driftwood all help the room feel grounded and connected to the natural world.'
A wooden coffee table and rustic timber side tables further strengthen that connection, bringing natural grain and texture into the center of the room. To follow their example in a small living room, I love the honey-tones of this more compact table at Amazon. It will fit in almost any-sized space.
The styling also plays an important role in blurring the boundaries between their indoor/outdoor space. A large fiddle-leaf fig rises toward the ceiling, while neutral curtains frame the garden – creating a sense of continuity between the two spaces.

'Accessories are where you really deepen that connection; consider generous greenery to soften corners and woven materials that invite you to sink in, encouraging more relaxed, flexible living rather than a formal, closed-off feel,' Daniel says.
'When your furniture and accessories work together to bring in lightness, texture and a touch of nature, your living room starts to feel like an extension of outside.'
In Kourtney and Travis' space, their sucsess relies on natural materials, considered furniture choices, and a wonderful relationship with the landscape. It's proof that the most successful indoor-outdoor spaces are the ones that feel the least forced. It truly sets the standard.
