JENNIFER Aniston has given us a rare glimpse into her private life and opened the doors to her luxurious $27 million Bel Air mansion.
The notoriously private Friends star — who’s reportedly worth around $255 million — bought the sprawling 1965 estate in 2011, and now shares it with her husband, Justin Theroux, and their three dogs.
Showing off her home in the March issue of Architectural Digest, Aniston sums up her interior decorating style very simply: “Sexy is important, but comfort is essential ... I’m all about the cosy.”
The star revealed that when she bought the mansion, it was “the furthest thing” from what she wanted, prompting her to enlist her decorator friend Stephen Shadley for help.
“I immediately had the sense that it could work,” she said of the property. “It’s hard to describe, but I felt a connection.”
Aniston explained that they set out to create a mix between its original modern look and her “Old World meets New World” decor.
She admitted that learning to include Theroux in the process didn’t come naturally to her.
“Justin definitely wanted to be involved, so there was a bit of a learning curve for me on how to include another voice in the design process,” said Aniston. “For instance, I figured out that immediately saying ‘No!’ to any suggestion is not the most collaborative move.”
From the pictures, it’s clear the teamwork paid off, with Aniston and Theroux’s home a stunningly unique mix of abstract expressionist paintings, handpainted wallpaper and silk rugs.
Outside, it’s a luscious blend of terraces, gardens and a pool with a teak deck — just how the star wanted it.
“Every corner you turn, you have an experience. Everywhere you look, you get a vista,” Aniston said. “We worked very hard to get that flow right.”
These days, her custom-designed home is her haven.
“There was a time when I thought there was something romantic about picking up and trotting off somewhere different every three months,” she told the magazine.
“Now I’m becoming more particular about the projects I take ... I look around at my husband and my dogs and our home, and there’s nowhere else I want to be.”
