As the line between home and workplace continues to blur, the way we design office environments matters more than ever. At Home & Texture, we’ve long explored how comfort-driven interiors and personality-filled home offices shape the way we live and work — and Tracee Ellis Ross’ newest creative headquarters feels like a natural extension of that conversation. In partnership with Design Within Reach, the actor and entrepreneur has unveiled a new West Hollywood office for PATTERN Beauty and her production company, Joy Mill Entertainment — one that leans into warmth, creativity, and a sense of personal expression rather than corporate sterility.

The space arrives at a time when many professionals are still recalibrating their relationship with the office. After years of working from home, expectations have shifted. Today’s workplaces are being asked to offer the same emotional ease and inspiration people cultivated in their own living rooms — environments that feel comfortable enough to spend eight hours in, yet dynamic enough to spark new ideas. Ross’ collaboration with Design Within Reach reflects this evolving mindset, with furnishings that prioritize both aesthetic impact and everyday usability.

Drawing from PATTERN Beauty’s vibrant identity, each space has tons of rich textures, sculptural silhouettes, and fun moments of playful pattern (no pun intended) without sacrificing a sense of calm. Ross worked closely with the brand’s design team to curate a mix of iconic modern pieces and contemporary accents, resulting in a workspace that feels elevated yet approachable. The atmosphere is intentional: collaborative zones flow into quieter corners, while thoughtful material choices create an undercurrent of warmth that counters the typical rigidity of office design.

For Ross, the move into a dedicated headquarters represents more than a business milestone — it’s a cultural and creative evolution. “Over time, PATTERN Beauty has grown into a platform for self-expression, creativity, and community, and moving into our first office was an incredible and meaningful milestone,” she shared. “It’s a physical embodiment of our brand’s values — warmth, individuality, and creativity. It’s a space where my team can feel supported, inspired, and at home. And as Joy Mill Entertainment grew, we needed a space that could keep up with our energy and vision.”

That emphasis on emotional resonance is what makes the project especially compelling from a design perspective. Rather than separating professional environments from domestic sensibilities, the office demonstrates how thoughtfully chosen furniture, lighting, and decor can bridge the two. It’s a reminder that great design isn’t reserved for residential spaces — and that the pieces shaping today’s workplaces can just as easily translate into our own homes.
