RH West Hollywood | The Gallery on Melrose Avenue

"Perfect For Writing: One of those movies where Diane Keaton reclaims her sexuality, or a Sideways prequel. We are, in fact, talking about the gigantic and extremely expensive furniture store on Melrose in West Hollywood. While this is still the place to go for $500 candle holders and textured bark planters, if you think that’s all there is to this place, you’re missing out. There’s a massive patio on the roof with couches in every direction, electric fire pits, free wifi, and a quiet atmosphere that’ll really allow you to dive into the character complexities of a 55-year-old divorcee from Santa Barbara. They don’t serve any food or coffee, so grab something beforehand and bring it up with you." - brant cox

"While you've probably been to plenty of Restoration Hardware galleries, you've definitely never seen one like this. Set in the heart of West Hollywood's design district a few blocks from the Pacific Design center, Restoration Hardware's Melrose location is one of the biggest in the country, occupying a full block and spanning three stories, each filled with RH's signature simple, classic, and supremely comfortable designs. In true LA style, the entire space is open-air, with wide doors that open to the street during the day. Perhaps the best part of the entire setup is the green rooftop—filled with trees, fire pits, couches, and even a ping pong table—that's open to the public anytime the store is open. "
