Three Celebrity Living Rooms That Inspire

Celebrities are people we look up to when it comes to fashion and lifestyle.  Also, we take into consideration their personal aesthetic preference, be it for fashion, food, fitness, or even decorating when we do our own. Thus, it comes as no surprise that celebrity homes have become often featured in shows and glossy magazines. There’s obviously a market for it, from Elle Décor, Architectural Digest, to MTV’s Cribs gaining mass following. We simply want to copy their style, including their modern living room furniture set picks into our own homes. 

So many “celebrities” (not particularly television or movie actors, but just personalities we see in reality shows and the red carpet) have cashed in on this influence, much to their financial gain. Kim Kardashian, who we only see in a reality show with her family, has fashion boutiques that are making a killing. “Celebutantes” Lauren Conrad and Nicole Richie have become novelists with bestsellers under their belt. We are currently living in an age where “celebrity taste” is held in high esteem, even if it doesn’t exactly fit our personal likes and styles. But then, as they have the money and more than enough help with their team of experts, following or at least, getting inspired by them would not be such a bad idea.  

If you are doing some redecorating, you might want to copy the interior decorating style s of some stars.  You can always go online to check on some pictures to see if their styles do reflect your own.  

 Here are some amazing homes that you might want to see:

·         Anjelika Huston’s living room in her Central Valley, California ranch

Hers is a traditional ranch house which she has lived in since 1984. It has a homey feel mainly because she personally picked all the things that you see in it.  The pieces are usually things from movie locations and swap meets. The pieces have a lived in feel to it, so if you are more into a sleek look, you may not exactly gravitate towards this. But if you’re into rooms that make you feel right at home, this is one you might take note of.

·         Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor’s Hollywood residence

Theirs is a modern home where the color blue dominates the color scheme.  Their items are a mix and match of pieces from different parts of the globe.   It may look too modern for some but it does sure look homey and welcoming.  We think what makes the room feel warm and not so detached would be the presence of plants and greenery. It’s ultra-sophisticated, but at the same time does not feel like you cannot move for fear you might break something if you’re in the room.

This living room gives a beach side vibe because of the colors and its decors.   The design elements are simple yet elegant and easy to copy for your own home. This practically embodies a great contemporary living room, with just the slightest of tweaks with the breezy beach accents. And they work! For you, you may want to consider a slight nod to urban concrete or tropical rainforest, but make sure to just to the slightest references to make the entire look well put-together.

These pictures show that these celebrities do prefer to have a simple space that they can go home to.  It really depends on good living room furniture set to make good the living room that you have.
