No.1 Gwyneth Paltrow’s Family Home in Montecito
Be inspired by Gwyneth Paltrow’s Montecito home, a beautifully proportioned space that embodies light and elegance. “This is our forever house,” she shares, emphasizing the exquisite, one-of-a-kind details throughout the residence.
The kitchen stands as the heart of the home, thoughtfully designed with features that enhance family life. “Having everything out on these gorgeous low shelves is just so satisfying,” Gwyneth declares, reflecting the warmth and creativity woven into her family’s daily experiences.
The house embodies the vision of a Parisian apartment located within an old European barn. It features high ceilings and is flooded with light, creating a space that feels both generous and manageable at the same time. The final structure is long and slender, designed as a single-story building with a shingled roof and stone walls. The property is powered by solar energy and includes a grey-water system, reflecting Paltrow’s commitment to environmental sustainability.
No.2 Kim Kardashian West’s Minimalist Home in Los Angeles
Envision stepping into Kim Kardashian West’s Los Angeles home, reminiscent of a futuristic Belgian monastery. This unique space captures the essence of minimalist style while promoting a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living.
Kim transformed her home with the help of talented architects and designers, Claudio Silvestrin and Belgian designer Axel Vervoordt to turn her home from a “McMansion” to an “otherworldly oasis of purity and light”.
The kitchen, featuring ceramic vases by Japanese artist Shiro Tsujimura, and spa-like bathrooms, exude serenity and sophistication. Natural light is abundant with large open windows - and leads openly to the outdoor living space which features swimming pools and hardscapes.
No.3 Meg Ryan’s Soho Loft Apartment
Be inspired by Meg Ryan’s Soho Loft apartment in New York with a “laid-back and low-key style” to elevate your city home. A loft building is traditionally steeped in history and architecture and once a warehouse building has been transformed into a desirable luxurious playground with high ceilings, exposed beams, wide columns and stripped wooden floors.
Opt for a neutral color palette in a large open plan space - and subsequently choose materials that won’t take up all the attention. Floating shelves can contribute to a minimal aesthetic without being too formal.
High ceilings can be decorated with a combination of low-hanging pendant lights and built-in overhead lighting.
Loft spaces can feel cold due to their industrial architecture but with the right tones and soft furnishings, warmth can be invited with large rugs and round-shaped items such as pillows, lamps, and mirrors.
Interior glass for the bedroom doors, can continue the openness of a loft space and create the illusion of an extended space with private dimensions.
The home's design is mostly monochromatic. In many rooms, matte black trims provide clean borders for expanses of white (somewhat echoing Scandinavian-style themes), and the master bathroom is adorned with patterned black and white tile floors. Deep wood furniture pieces add warmth to many of the otherwise black and white rooms.
