Celebrity Houses #2

[Petit Lucille]

good point! Still it could be a little less generic or cold...

Nina Garcia's apartment in Manhattan is wonderful, as is Charlize Theron's Los Angeles loft. I much prefer Charlize's decorating, though. It's more masculine and I could just move right into the space. I love those colours and I admire how almost nothing matches in a large percentage of this thread. When it comes to decorating for me, I'm such a maniac for wanting colours and fabrics to match everything else. This thread is a source of inspiration.

I like both places as well. I'm a female, but as you pointed out, I like the "masculine" feel of Charlize's loft. I wouldn't necessarily decorate it in the same way she has, but I like the use of neutrals throughout. And it's simply done, if that makes sense. I wouldn't want to live in a place that feels overly decorated as if I'm living in a museum.

Normally I'd go for the minimalist look in the manner of Will Farrell's NY loft, but it looks too much like an office. Not very a homey vibe.

Charlize Theron sells former LA house she bought in 2009 for ~ 3M$
Around 4,000 ft, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathroom.
I am on the fence, I really dislike the kitchen and the living room..

Charlize's house is (was?) so chic

 

[vetements]

This is such an inspirational thread. However, out of the so many houses, the ones I really liked were ysl's, Valentino's, DvF's. most suitable for living were probably Stefano Pilati's, and hernadez and mccollough's, these men have good taste for interior styling...not surprisingly, the celebrities' usually borders on tacky to bleh, Rihanna's was quite bad taste I thought. Thanks all for posting.

So many gorgeous houses in this thread! And I have to agree with vetements. Sometimes celebrities' decorating tastes leave a lot to be desired in that their houses' interiors border on tacky and gauche.

Ahh, finally a lovely, livable, realistic, creative home that looks personal and inspired and comfortable and cheerful and laid back.

^ What in the world? Worst so far, such a try-hard.

 

[saann]

it's not particularly inviting.. the kitchen is cool though

 

[Psylocke]

I'm oddly fascinated by Rick Owens' home. I could never live like that and with that shower I would be scared of getting mold in all my walls but I do admire how consistent he is with his aesthetic, it's interesting. I do like the book shelves but I don't think I would want any other objects from that loft. But at least it's essentially him and not just some generic 'straight out of the catalog' home like all those other celebrity apartments.

 

[Melisande]

...design-wise it's all "very well done", but odour of pretentiousness and control-freakishness way too pungent...

 

[Islandili]

I think the worst part is the bathroom. Now, I don't want to sound mean but that looks like one of Hitler's gas chambers.

 

[GIVENCHYlover]

Omg.

 

[Kite]

Could you imagine getting up for a glass of water in the night in Rick's house.

Thats just unpleasant.

 

[iclawhands]

I actually really like Rick's place. The raw materials are quite luxurious, cashmere blankets, marble, fur, etc. but seen in a really different way. much like rick's clothes. There are some in his store in Paris, surprisingly comfortable!

Robert Duffy's house is stunning.

How do these people live in these concrete boxes? They're so ugly. How can they be considered a home?

I'd love it if Vogue visited a celebrity's house and it was if a bomb had hit the place - junk everywhere, clothes, underwear, strewn across the floor.
And then they had the celebrity like, wearing Chanel, stood amongst it striking a pose
Prada shoed foot resting on a cereal box.

I like quirky homes. Contemporary homes, but I'm not feeling Rick Owens's aesthetic. It just looks too uncomfortable. And Psylocke beat me to the punch about how you can picture mold growing in that bathroom.
