Tour the Quirky Abode of a Los Angeles TV Stylist and Her Adorable Family

For the past 12 years, Jordan Adero has been looking at the design industry from many different angles, while wearing many different hats. She’s managed major showrooms in her native Los Angeles, apprenticed to notable New York designers and even selected products for hit HBO shows. Good style is in her DNA. The grandchild of international models and famed architect Paul Williams, amazing style is a family tradition. Now, back home in Los Angeles, she’s taken the reins, launching her own brand as an interior stylist. When she’s not working on styling and design projects, Jordan enjoys time with her husband Rob, and their sons, Jah Kaiyri and Yasir Amar, in a picturesque, two-bedroom midcentury modern home.

Even though her boys are young, Jordan designs with the future in mind. “When investing in furniture, I always consider the longevity and functionality of the piece,” she says. “My living room is a playground for pieces that marry those two features.” The goal isn’t just to save on furniture costs, but to accrue pieces that she can pass on to her children as heirlooms. “I want pieces that my boys can jump and climb on while they’re little, and also use as conversational pieces in their own homes when they’re adults.”

A year-and-a-half ago Jordan and her husband, Rob found this home that was in need of some TLC. Its aesthetic was something the stylist can only describe as “completely outdated." They started with a renewed color palette for the interior. “We went with a really bright and clean gallery white for every room except our sons’ bedroom to showcase the furniture, artwork, heirlooms and decor pieces in the space,” she explains.

Art plays a special role in this home, both as a design element and a statement of culture. “I’m incredibly proud to be a fifth generation Angeleno,” she smiles. “I love the South LA community. It’s an incredible part of the city where there’s such a deep pool of talent and tight-knit communities.” Odes to her community are spread throughout the home. On this wall alone, beach scenes and surf images sit beside text art celebrating the Crenshaw neighborhood and an image of legendary West Coast icon Tupac Shakur.
