Kara Smith from Smith and Firestone Associates Luxury Interior Design had been looking for two completely different missing pieces when designing two suites for the Residences at W Hollywood, and she found them in both The EcoSmart fire.

The W hotels are known across the world for their contemporary architecture and modern chic décor. When Kara was commissioned to design a penthouse suite and a residential suite for the Residences at W Hollywood, she needed to maintain this signature style whilst still creating a different finish in each suite.

Penthouse 14C was designed to be very bohemian with an eclectic luxury feel set by warm neutrals, textured patterns, and rich textiles. “An indoor/outdoor vibe was integral to the concept,” explains Kara. “We knew we wanted a fire element to round out this idea, and EcoSmart provided a product that was both eco-friendly and perfectly styled to accent the contemporary flair of the architecture and room design.”

The EcoSmart fire perfectly complements the warm textured colour palette of creamy neutrals combined with pops of bright colour in tones of orange and metallic.

Clearly very effective in the design of the penthouse, Kara has also utilized the element of fire in Suite 6A, which by contrast is a modern room with bold colour, tailored lines, and edgy artwork.

Despite being vastly different, both residences use EcoSmart Fires to bring the indoors and outdoors together.
