Celebrity Homes

Ever wondered what a celebrities home looks like? Well Lionel Richie's home looks just like this. Richie invited the profound magazine Architectural Digest into his luxurious home in sunny California, for an inside look of his estate.

The molded-and-painted-plaster ceiling sets the tone in the living room. A pair of 17th-century Italian columns flank the fireplace. On the mantel is an inlaid-marble fragment from a Sicilian church. Schifando custom-designed the pelmets and the onyx-topped table. Janet Yonaty drapery tiebacks.

The master bath was designed by Richie’s former wife Diane Richie and designer Karen Carsello. With its large size, oak floor, original molding and limestone fireplace, the space has the feel of a living room. The mahogany-finished tub case enhances the ambience of the room.

At the rear of the 17,000-square-foot house are a series of limestone terraces, a swimming pool and a stone poolhouse. The lush grounds feature cypress and magnolia trees and ‘Iceberg’ roses. Not just your everyday backyard!

The master bedroom overlooks the rose garden. Painted and gilded Italian Renaissance-style bed from Ebanista.
