When actor Gregg Sulkin set out to remodel his Los Angeles home, his goal was to create a space that feels warm, welcoming, and entirely timeless. He wanted a sanctuary built for quiet relaxation, daily comfort, and effortless entertaining. Achieving that balance required thoughtful choices across every phase of the project, from spatial flow down to the finest architectural accents. To bring his vision to life, Gregg partnered with Viaggio Hardware to refine the doors and interior transitions throughout his residence with satin brass door handles.
For Gregg, updating door hardware was never about simply replacing functional fixtures. It was an opportunity to define the subtle character and quiet atmosphere of each room.
"Hardware is one of those details people don’t always notice individually, but they absolutely notice when it’s done well," Gregg notes. "It has a much bigger impact than most people expect."
When selecting fixtures, Viaggio’s clean lines and solid construction immediately stood out. The pieces brought a classic aesthetic and a substantial feel in hand, complementing the surrounding interiors rather than competing with them. "The door lever craftsmanship stood out immediately," says Gregg. "They helped tie everything together. The modern hardware feels intentional rather than just functional, and it’s often the finishing detail that quietly elevates the entire room." For Gregg, watching those subtle elements transform the overall feel of the home was the most satisfying part of the process, proving that small choices can elevate a space without any single element trying too hard.
This meticulous approach aligns seamlessly with Gregg’s broader design philosophy, which favors enduring quality over fleeting trends. Rather than chasing short-lived aesthetic crazes, his personal style has evolved toward modern elegance, warmth, and lasting construction. "I wanted something timeless, warm, and understated, spaces that feel welcoming today and will still feel relevant years from now," he shares.
He also emphasizes that true beauty in a home should never come at the expense of daily living, noting that "if something looks great but doesn’t function well, it usually isn’t the right choice. Comfort and atmosphere always come first." That emphasis on atmosphere is most evident in his favorite room in the house: the main living area. It's an open sanctuary where natural light shifts throughout the day and guests naturally gather.
Having navigated his fair share of home updates, Gregg encourages anyone embarking on a remodel to adopt a patient, quality-first mindset. His primary advice is to avoid rushing into trends and instead take time with decisions that are difficult to alter later, investing in foundational elements that reflect how you genuinely live. And for those tackling DIY updates themselves, Gregg keeps his core toolkit simple: a quality drill, a laser level, and a tape measure. "Getting the basics right makes every project easier," he adds.
Looking ahead, Gregg is inspired by the broader movement in interior design that is returning to rich craftsmanship, warmer palettes, and tactile, natural materials. Whether you are undertaking a full-scale renovation or making subtle, high-impact improvements, Viaggio Hardware provides the perfect foundation for turning standard interior doors into contemporary, architectural statement features.
