Spots Around Celeb Homes That Had Us Awestruck

Even though homes represent the personalities of the people living in it, it’s the memories attached to different spots and places around it, that make it a Whole. Remember hiding behind the big banyan tree in our backyard, or running around the patio, and watching the sunsets from our terraces? These nostalgic moments are the ones that gradually make us fond of homes. We have here for you, a few unique spots around Celebrity homes, that made our hearts melt!

SAMANTHA AKKINENI Samantha Akkineni’s backyard is the perfect blend of modern and classic aesthetics, with the colour white taking control of the space. You’ll spot a patch of grass with comfortable lounge chairs in one corner, and a large collection of potted white plants spread all over this outdoor area. Samantha recently spoke about her newfound hobby, besides her work, and it’s gardening! She has been posting pictures of vegetables that she has been growing during the pandemic. The rows and rows of lush plants, the complete greenery is a serene view to admire.The vegetables she grows in her terrace garden are all Organic, completely free of any adulteration. Samantha calls her garden her “Happy Place”, and her radiating smile sure proves that!

SOHA ALI KHAN Soha’s home is a perfect mix of Art Deco and Luxury.Designed by DarshiniShah, the house is characterized by raw brick walls and wooden panelling that gives a vintage feel to it. It’s her cost Den, that we loved the most! The den is designed in a way that you can chill, watch movies, put your feet up and unwind. With its rows and rows of books, the den proves Soha’s love for reading, and the corridor that leads to it is a visual testimony to her passion for art. There was something about wooden tones, soft cushions and books that made us book lovers squeal in excitement!

| INTERIORS CHRISSY TEIGEN If you’ve followed Chrissy Teigen on her social media accounts, you cannot miss her love for cooking and culinary skills! Living on a beach house, that’s been designed by Don Stewart, she has been whipping up some amazing dishes in her modular and elegant kitchen. The wooden cupboards and pantry, along with a granite countertop, with a view overlooking the ocean, makes it a perfect place to cook and spend some quality time with family. What we loved the most was how utilitarian the kitchen was. Chrissy has even attached a toy kitchen beside the granite countertop, so as to keep her children close and entertained.

KANGANA RANAUT Kangana’s new Pali Hill studio is the Talk of the Town! The actress along with celebrity designer Shabnam Gupta have worked on what can be called as a ‘dreamy workspace.’Her eclectic workspace looks magnificent with a touch of European style. Kangana has got most of her studio’s furniture customized and handmade. The open-to-sky cafe takes the cake! The rays of sunlight beaming through the windows make this cabin such a refreshing place to work at. The room is used as her storyboard where the she can sit and read her scripts. Textured white walls, solid wood table, pastel coloured furniture, all come together to create a grunge effect on the room.

KIM KARDASHIAN Kim Kardashian has a closet for Everything (and we mean EVERYTHING), but her Shoe Closet is a sight to behold! Designed by Axel Vervoordt,another angle of the closet shows that it clearly doubles as a fitting room with enough space for at least two wheeled in clothing racks. The walk-in closet is completely dedicated to an array of designer shoes and bags from heavyweight brands like Hermes, Fendi and Kardashianfavourite Judith Leiber.It also features a room sized mirror at the end. This Room is a Dream!

POOJA BEDI Pooja Bedi, recently redecorated her home back in Goa, and it has some classy and vintage features. The heat of the home is her living room. The room is set in ivory, steel and wood dominated interior. The huge mirror piece with metallic framework, makes the room look bigger and elegant. The dining table and the furniture are light in colour, adding class to the room. The furniture is mostly wooden with white wallpaper and tile that can be seen in most Goan houses.

| INTERIORS KAJAL AGARWAL Kajal recently gave a tour of her renovated childhood home, in Mumbai, designed by her, and we are extremely impressed with the minimalistic design. The home, though look barely furnished, speaks volumes of quality rather than quantity. Her office space is so aesthetically pleasing, that it’s our favourite spot around the house. It has her own library, and is furnished with a grey cushioned chair and few wooden chairs, but it’s the custom made Jaipur rug that catches your eye immediately. Contrast to the white walls and flooring, the rug is vibrant, yet blends well with the aesthetics. The spot looks soothing and calms any unsettled mind.

OPRAH WINFREY Oprah owns a 5,500 sq.yds., ranch-style farmhouse in Montecito. The place has a big mansion, pool, top-of-the line stables, caretaker’s cabins, an equestrian ring and fruit orchards. But it’s the quaint little Tea House that caught our attention. Though the rest of the mansion was designed by architect Cliff May in 1955, the Tea House has been decorated and designed by Oprah herself. Set in the midst of the garden, the building’s entrance is arched by wisteria, with an elegant copper fountain out front. Every little detail, inside and out, of the Tea House has been selected by Oprah, including what type of gravel lined it’s path. There is no television or a way to listen to music, hence it’s an ideal place to meditate and drink tea in peace. The furniture is all wicker chairs and a soft cushioned wicker couch, which make the view from here even more dreamy and mystic. The warm and vintage vibes we get from this place are unmatched for!
