L.A. is as well-known for its beautiful home interiors as it is the perpetually 72 and sunny weather.

From styles like classic Spanish revival to unique California modernism, dwellings in the City of Angels are overflowing with photo-ops.

Whether you’re looking for interior design inspiration, or inspiration for the books adorning your coffee table, this roundup features the best that L.A. design has to offer — in print.

This hardback offers a luxurious showcase of the finest homes in the most legendary neighborhoods of the greater Los Angeles area.

The second volume of this series focuses on the floor plans, gardens and interiors of more than 400 L.A. residences — from downtown lofts to mountainside estate houses. The homes of Hollywood celebrities like Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Marion Davies, and publisher William Randolph Hearst all make an impressive appearance.

The Case Study House program ran from 1945 to 1966, and was an exceptional, innovative event in the history of American architecture.

Concentrated in Los Angeles, the program oversaw the design of 36 prototype homes, and sought to make available plans for modern residences that could be easily (and cheaply) replicated in the post-war construction boom. This book is a collection of words and images of some of these homes.

4. Sense of Place: Elements of California Modernism

This book features a collection of residences (both built and un-built) by the Los Angeles-based firm Kovac Architects, spanning more than 25 years of their work.

If you’re obsessed with Hollywood glamour, this hardback is the quintessential study of tinseltown interiors, from 1920s and 1930s Spanish Revival houses in the Hollywood hills, to highly adorned Storybook houses, and airy and transparent mid-century modern forms.
