A-Listers at Home: Inside the Stunning Houses of Kylie Jenner, Shonda Rhimes and More Celebs

Kylie Jenner, 21, worked with designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard to decorate her Hidden Hills, California home in a way that suited her lifestyle — which of course included a youthful and luxe glam room complete with Barbie artwork, pink swivel chairs, and a neon art installation. "I told Martyn that color was essential,” Jenner, 21, told Architectural Digest in their March 2019 cover story. “I love pink, and I wanted a lot of it!”

Bullard incorporated butterfly prints into Jenner's fun, feminine dining room, which he tells PEOPLE is a nod to her boyfriend Travis Scott because butterflies were around when the pair met. (They're also one of Kylie and daughter Stormi's favorite animals.) “He spends a lot of time at the house and has his own closet there,” Bullard told PEOPLE of the couple. “The design was obviously for Kylie but it’s done in a way to really be a family home.”

While the makeup mogul dedicated an entire walk-in closet to her handbags, with her shoe closet in the next room, she also ensured the house was kid-friendly. Admits Kylie: “Stormi has definitely taken over the house with her toys!”

When Shonda Rhimes first saw the house she now calls home in L.A., she thought it was "ugly" and "wrong," but she was still drawn to it. "As someone who spends most of her days crafting stories for television (Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder), I can only explain it like this: The house felt like … good story,” she wrote in AD's January cover story. “And every inch of me wanted to write it.”

The showrunner teamed up with famed designer Michael S. Smith, who decorated the Obamas' private quarters in the White House, to create a space that was both her own and perfect for her family. "This is a place where kids can play pretend and spill things,” she writes, “and I do not ever stress about something expensive and antique being stained.”

Rhimes, who loves to entertain, wanted a seamless indoor-outdoor flow to her home, and decorated the resort-style pool area with lounge chairs and a cabana. "My favorite thing to do when entertaining is open all of those doors and enjoy a dance party,” she writes.

The actor couple first fell in love with their New York City townhouse, located in Brooklyn's Park Slope neighborhood, twelve years ago, when Gyllenhaal was pregnant with their first daughter, Ramona.

“When we walked into this house, it really felt like a home to us,” Gyllenhaal tells archdigest.com. “The light is beautiful and the rooms feel airy because the ceilings are unusually high.”

The pair teamed up with with architect Elizabeth Roberts and designer John Erik Karkula, to make the 3,600-square-foot space all their own, decorating the walls with an extensive personal art collection full of gifted works from friends and family, and creating cozy spaces that felt warm for their family of four. "There are lots of places to curl up with a book,” Sarsgaard says.

They spruced up their eclectic breakfast room, which boasts a green tile wall, by adding an eye-catching glass-and-metal chandelier. But while the couple adores the quaint home they’ve called their own for over a decade, in January, they put it on the market for $4.599 million with Debbie Korb of Sotheby’s International Realty. According to the Wall Street Journal, who first reported the listing, Sarsgaard and Gyllenhaal wanted to relocate to a neighborhood closer to their the new school their daughters attend.

The Desperate Housewives star rebuilt a larger version of her childhood home on the same plot of land she grew up on in Snowmass, Colorado. The actress and her husband, Shameless star William H. Macey, wanted to restore her old home but the building didn't meet current codes. The original home tour appeared in Architectural Digest.

“We’ve got extra cross-country skis; we’ve got go-karts; we’ve got horses—anything you want to play with, we’ve got the toys,” says Macy, who notes keeping all the fun things at the home will entice their two daughters, Sofia, 17, and Georgia, 16, to come visit after they leave for college.

Huffman says the house will definitely stay in the family for years to come. “I loved everything about it,” she says. “There wasn’t a catch. It’s nostalgic.”

Because the North Carolina native is a "mountain girl" at heart, when moving to L.A., she needed to find a place that reminded her of the Blue Ridge peaks. "I need green and lots of trees everywhere. For a country gal like me, it feels like home,” the Scandal star says of her Spanish style abode, featured in the summer issue of Naturally, Danny Seo

She only recently decorated the house, despite having lived there for five years. “I was heading into a new chapter in my life," she explains. "It was time."

She got some help from a friend and serious design fixer, Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams’ Michael Erno (pictured with Young, above), who helped bring her vision of “glamour, glamour, glamour!” to life. A blue velvet sofa is the centerpiece of her living area. “The color is devastating,” says Young. But more importantly, she’s “able to fall into [it] and immediately take a nap.”

Nearly two years after splitting from Naomi Watts, the Ray Donovan star appeared solo in his industrial Manhattan loft on the cover of Architectural Digest‘s June issue. The actor-screenwriter has owned a portion of the unique space since the 1990s and has been piecing together various units in the historic building over the years to create a three-story, three-bedroom home.

The impressive spread recently got a top-to-bottom refresh courtesy of designers Ariel Ashe and Reinaldo Leandro, the same duo that decorated his home with Watts. "I never dreamed I would own a place like this,” he says.

In his sons' — Alexander (Sasha) Pete, 10, and Samuel Kai, 9 — room there’s a cool, offset bunk bed set up.

Quinto's 2,250-square-foot apartment that he shares with his boyfriend model-painter Miles McMillan was the first place the couple saw while touring homes in the city. "We both walked in and just felt like, we found it,” Quinto tells Architectural Digest.

Some highly unusual finds have made their way into the space, including a small lidded dish Quinto says is “Tennessee Williams’s coke dish,” the fur of the actor’s beloved late dog stored in a keepsake box, and more than 55 crystals. The couple also plastered the walls of their powder room with photos of celebrity icons so when you use the restroom "Picasso is staring at you," McMillan says.

For Bertinelli, bigger was better—but not necessarily more expensive—when decorating her home. "I love finding paintings at antiques shops — they have beautiful frames and don’t cost a lot,” she tells Food Network Magazine.

The actress' favorite room in the house behind the kitchen is her reading nook, which she had doubled in size to fit all of her books. "I always wanted a place that was big enough for all my books so I never had to throw any away,” Bertinelli says.

Her living room boasts a similarly lived-in aesthetic, with even more books in white built-ins and a plethora of pillows that create a cozy and refreshingly attainable vibe thanks to her budget-friendly shopping habits.

The former Bachelorette gets the final rose for a seriously stylish home! She revealed the inside of her Kelowna, British Columbia, abode that she shares with her fiance, Justin Pasutto, and their son, Leo, 1. “I love to travel…but I’m happiest and most content at home,” she writes.

Wood beams frame the kitchen, which open to the dining room and living room. A wooden high chair for Leo sits near the island/breakfast bar while the fridge and other appliances are cleverly disguised by cabinet fronts. The all-white furnishings and gold light fixtures give the room a modern feel contrasted with the rustic wood floors and ceiling beams.

A blush bed frame and beaded chandelier add a feminine touch to the master bedroom, which has an extra-cozy feel thanks to a shearling rug and ruffled throw blankets and pillows.

The Total Bellas star, 34, is showing off the San Diego home that she shares with husband Daniel Bryan (whose real name is Bryan Danielson) and their 11-month-old daughter, Birdie. The space is a Cali-cool mix of cozy furnishings, minimalist decor and rustic touches that create a relaxing aesthetic for the professional wrestlers to enjoy.

The E! star worked alongside designer Julia Wheeler of Gunn + Swain Interiors to outfit the rental home with cozy furnishings comfortable for baby Birdie, but also still stylish enough for the adults. “Our house is very midcentury modern, which was a first for me because our Phoenix home was very farmhouse,” the Birdiebee co-founder tells PEOPLE. “I started to look into that vibe and how I can make midcentury feel boho and cozy. I feel like we nailed it!”

A recessed fireplace, vaulted ceiling and lots of natural light warm up this formerly stark space. The open floor plan allows for the young family to seamlessly move between their living and dining areas — and makes it easier for Brie to keep an eye on her little one! “Birdie is about to walk!” she says. “She loves to crawl everywhere, push all the furniture around and play outside all day long. She loves to smash all her toys! We call her Birdie ‘The Smasher’ Danielson.”

When a home in her Encino, California, neighborhood was torn down, the Cooking Channel star saw an opportunity to transform the leftover brick into a fireplace for the backyard she shares with husband Brady Smith and their two kids, Harper, 7, and Holt, 2. Although she was the brains behind the operation, it was Smith, 46, who made the outdoor magic happen. “I bribed my husband to take a wheelbarrow and get it,” Thiessen told Food Network Magazine of her new 6,000-square-foot digs.

“I wanted a cross between vintage and upscale,” Thiesssen says of her remodeled bedroom. “I like that it feels French, but also very American.” The Cali-cool space features an Anthropologie bed and an antique rug, in addition to an oversize gold mirror and black velvet-upholstered bench.

The sunny outdoor entertaining space sports rattan furniture, a pergola and a plethora of plants. The latter was inspired by Thiessen and Smith’s fathers, who are both retired landscape architects. It’s safe to say the Saved by the Bell alum isn’t seeing any “For Sale” signs in her future. “We knew this was going to be the home we stayed in for a long time," she said.

The Real Housewives of New York City star wasn’t necessarily house hunting when she came across a this loft in Manhattan’s SoHo neighborhood. But with an undervalued $4.2 million price tag and a can’t-be-beat location next to her Skinnygirl offices, she was sold. “This was an opportunity I couldn’t pass up,” she told Architectural Digest. “All of a sudden, I was in it.”

As an experienced renovator (thanks to her house flipping show that she starred in alongside friend Fredrik Eklund), she was ready to work her magic on the awkward layout and dated features to make a home for her and her 7-year-old daughter, Bryn, who she shares with ex Jason Hoppy. For cosmetic updates, Frankel gave the cabinets new lacquer doors and refreshed the wood floors with a pale gray stain.

The reality star was able to build in luxurious features like a walk-in closet, spa-like master bathroom, glam room and library with a neon side reading, “I know it all.” Although she’s seen major success, most recently with her foundation B Strong, she’s still in awe of her own abode.“I feel humbled,” she said. “It took my three days to feel like this is my apartment. Wow, I can’t believe I live here.”

The heiress's husband, aristocratic banker James Rothschild, took the lead in outfitting their home in Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood. The finished product was featured in Architectural Digest.

While the spaces are sophisticiated, Hilton wanted to ensure they weren't stuffy. “I grew up in a house full of antiques and fancy fabrics and certain rooms you weren’t allowed to go in,” she tells AD. “And as a child I always told myself that I will never have that when I’m grown up; I would have a house where no room is off-limits.”

The couple share two children, 19-month-old Lily-Grace and 8-week-old Teddy Marilyn. Of their shared nursery, Hilton says “I had so much fun doing this room. You just get to relive your childhood again with all the things you loved: kitties and bunnies and princesses.”

The actress and husband Justin Theroux picked up their Bel Air estate in 2011 for $21 million, but aesthetically, she tells Architectural Digest, it was “the furthest thing from what I wanted.” Aniston turned to longtime designer Stephen Shadley to create a perfect mix between the house's modern shell and her “Old World meets New World” decor style.

“Sexy is important, but comfort is essential,” Aniston says of her interior essentials. The spaces are layered with blue-chip paintings, cozy seating, and sentimental pieces "she's had forever," says Shadley.

Outside, the grounds — which once held a hillside vineyard — were reimagined to include terraces, pocket gardens and a stunning pool surrounded by a teak deck. Aniston and Theroux were married in a private ceremony in the backyard in 2015.

At the California abode Duff shares with five-year-old son Luca, featured in the February issue of Better Homes and Gardens, the dusty rose door on the otherwise dark facade just touches the surface of the design-savvy surprises within.

Contemporary pieces like velvet chairs and bronze side tables give the living room a glamorous feel — but Duff was careful not to be too precious with her furnishings. “This house is a sanctuary for me and Luca, so I always shop with him in mind,” she said. “He’s respectful of our belongings, but I want him to be able to roughhouse and do other kid things here.”

A floral-covered bedroom pays homage to Duff’s own upbringing. “I grew up with wallpaper,” she says. “My mom was fanatical about it, so it makes me feel nostalgic.”

Having wrapped up a blockbuster musical residency in Las Vegas, the Puerto Rican superstar is embracing the laid-back lifestyle of his adoptive home of Los Angeles, where he can spend time with fiance Jwan Yosef and their 9-year-old twins, Matteo and Valentino, in the family’s gorgeous new Beverly Hills home, featured in Architectural Digest.

The couple bought the first place they visited: a 3,000-square-foot modernist build from 1953. Martin reportedly purchased the place for $13.5 million in November 2016.

They called on designer and Oprah protege Nate Berkus to give the home an updated-yet-respectful refresh. “We weren’t interested in a completely decorated home with a specific look done to the last detail. We wanted to get the basics covered so it would be comfortable for us and the kids, but we left plenty of room for the house to grow and evolve in the years to come,” Yosef tells AD.

Mom-to-be Mindy Kaling decorated her new home in Los Angeles with help from her designer Katie Ridder. She tells Architectural Digest that the bold space is “a little Wes Anderson. It’s how layered it looks — he’s very conscious and he’s very generous with the colors in his palette.”

Although happy with her new digs, there’s one feature The Mindy Project star is still struggling to adapt to. “I’ve lived in L.A. for 15 years and I’ve never had a second floor,” she says. “Now I do and it’s a little frightening. I’ll watch a murder documentary on Netflix, and I’m too afraid to go upstairs.”

Kaling had her eye on the historic Hancock Park neighborhood in Los Angeles, and was prepared to play the long game to get it. “I fell in love with three houses, but I kept losing to these Chinese billionaires who were paying all cash. I wish I were an Indian billionaire,” she jokes.

Mark Consuelos and Kelly Ripa’s Telluride, Colorado home is a welcome retreat for the busy couple. “Sometimes our schedules get pretty hectic,” Consuelos tells PEOPLE. “So we like to step away and take weekend getaways with friends and family.”

“Host with the most” Consuelos always has the kitchen in their mountain getaway stocked for guests. “The kitchen is the center of our home,” he says.

Consuelos loves to keep busy exploring the outdoors, but his favorite moments are often the spontaneous ones. “Sometimes the best moments are the unexpected moments, like relaxing by the fire or a good conversation shared over a meal,” he says.

After finding out she was pregnant with baby number two — a boy, due in September — Happy Endings alum Casey Wilson decided it was time to spruce up her California house's spare spaces to make room for her newest family member. “It needed a once-over,” she tells PEOPLE.

With a little help from HomeGoods, Wilson was able to transform her multipurpose space into a functional rec room. “We decided to be realistic about what the room is: it’s for playing with our son and watching TV,” she says.

Wilson knew she’d be spending plenty of time in the nursery after baby number two was born, so a focus on soft textures and colors was a priority. “I wanted this to be really soft and cozy to me, since it appears it will be my jail for the first three months,” she says.

As the daughter of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver, Katherine Schwarzenegger has spent her fair share of time in the limelight. Now the 27-year-old is all grown up, and ready to embrace her own style — especially in her home. “This is much more mature than any of the previous places I’ve lived,” she tells Joss & Main.

Her “L.A. edge”-style space features light finishes with a touch of navy to keep the look grounded.

Schwarzenegger is smitten with her girly-glam pad, but knows that it’s an ever-changing canvas. “My mom [told me] that your home and your style will continue to evolve as you evolve and it will always be a work in progress.”

When Peyton List needed to decorate her new home, she asked her 11 million Instagram followers for help. The account of A 1000 Times Better designer, Kristen Blazek, was the perfect mix of bohemian and youthful for the former Disney star, 19. “I really loved the aesthetic,” List tells archdigest.com.

“It felt homey and that was super important,” List tells AD of the designer's eclectic, boho style. She was so inspired, in fact, that she gave Blazek’s team a blank slate. “I told them, ‘Go in. I trust you guys.’”

The former Disney star, who next appears in Anthem of a Reluctant Prophet and Departures, kept some of the 90-year-old home's original details, including the rustic chandelier.

The country music power couple first laid eyes on their 20-acre island in the Bahamas 14 years ago. “There was just a little shack,” McGraw, 50, tells Architectural Digest, but Hill, 49, could already tell, “It was a great little place.”

They replaced the modest structure with a collection of eight “pavilions” that took until 2012 to complete. “We set out to build a house. We had no idea we had to build everything else,” Hill says. “We basically had to build a little town.”

“We wanted to feel connected to the outside,” Hill says. “When the breeze comes through the room, it’s just life-changing.”

The Mindy Project star almost couldn't believe her eyes when she first walked into her redecorated NYC home. “I thought, ‘who is this chic person who lives here? It’s not me, it looks amazing!’” she told One Kings Lane.

Playful patterns and a moroccan pouf, “which looks like it’s for the chicest, most elegant dog, ever,” keep Kaling's hangout space chic and cozy.

This seating spot is one of the actress and writer's favorite areas of her pad, thanks to one whimsical element: "My awesome light fixture, which is probably the biggest statement of the entire apartment because it is all wine glasses," she said.

The Happy Endings star and mom-to-be gave her outdoor space a bold boost so it was ready to host summer parties. "We're constantly entertaining," she told PEOPLE.

An outdoor sofa and lots of throw pillows add coziness. "Our parties aren’t over-the-top fancy; my biggest focus is that everyone is comfortable and has a good time," she said.
