Sneak peek into celebrity living rooms

Sting and his wife tapped Lee F. Mindel, of architectural and design firm Shelton, Mindel & Associates, and restoration architect Anthony Close-Smith to renovate their early-18th-century London townhouse. In the living room, where Matisse prints and a Picasso grace the walls, the silk-and-wool rug acts like a photographer’s reflector, spreading light from the windows evenly throughout the space. The low tables are by Yves Klein, the side table is by Diego Giacometti, and the sofa fabric is by Holland & Sherry.

Jennifer Aniston collaborated with designer Stephen Shadley to transform a 1970 residence by Harold W. Levitt in Beverly Hills into an inviting retreat where she hosts frequent gatherings. The living room is an intimate space that opens to views of a koi pond. The low table is from Todd Merrill Antiques. Glant linen is on the sofa, which Shadley designed, and the chair velvet is by Manuel Canovas.

Sir Elton John and his partner, filmmaker David Furnish, asked Martyn Lawrence-Bullard to design their Los Angeles residence. The living room’s onyx-and-chrome low tables are by Lawrence-Bullard, and the carpet is by The Rug Company.

New York designer Stephen Shadley renovated Diane Keaton’s Spanish Colonial Revival home in Beverly Hills, originally built in the 1920s by architect Ralph Flewelling. The overall aesthetic was to be plain and simple, with a deep but not reverential bow to California’s Spanish heritage. The living room features works by Maynard Dixon and William Ritschel. The pots are Hillside, from the teens and ‘20s; the daybeds are Monterey pieces.

In Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, Gerard Butler worked with architect Alexander Gorlin and film designer Elvis Restaino on his 3,300-square-foot open loft in a converted manufacturing warehouse. The living space is centered around arched, brick-framed windows that look out at the Empire State Building. The chandelier and leather chairs and ottoman are from ABC Carpet & Home.

Cher turned to friend and interior designer Martyn Lawrence-Bullard to help conjure up “something ethnic, spicy, and romantic”—albeit in creams, ivories, whites, and buttery beiges—for the interiors of her duplex, perched high above Los Angeles. For the main living space, Lawrence-Bullard designed comfortable seating, covered in Kravet fabric, where the actress can relax and enjoy the views. Also in the living room is a zebra-print rug by Edelman on top of a Stark sea-grass carpet.

Home of the late Elizabeth Taylor

Home of the legendary star Elizabeth Taylor was a four-bedroom house on a secluded, wooded acre in Bel Air, California. Elizabeth purchased the property in the early 1980s and refined it with the help of interior designer and close friend Waldo Fernandez. What they created was a world away from the actress’s previous homes: a Virginia farm and Georgetown townhouse she shared with her sixth husband, Senator John Warner.

Though its walls displayed Impressionist paintings and its gardens were lush with roses, the residence was about family and fun, not fame and flashbulbs. Children and grandchildren were given the run of the house, as was a succession of dogs, cats, and birds. In recent years nearly every room was awash in blues and lavenders, shades echoing Taylor’s famous violet eyes. And if that chromatic scheme wasn’t in fashion, well, so be it. Elizabeth Taylor’s private world reflected no one better than the woman who lived there—authentic, unapologetic, and full of passion.
