Ashley Tisdale’s Infamous Bookshelf, Kerry Washington’s “Subway Tile,” And 22 Other Wild Home Decor Choices Made By Celebs (That Live Rent-Free In My Mind)
I don’t know about you, but I’m obsessed with Architectural Digest’s Open Door series. As someone with a veryyy average amount of expendable income, it’s truly peak escapism to look inside the homes of the rich and famous and laugh/cry/scream at some of their chaotic/inspired/cringe design choices.
I’ve seen basically every episode there is to watch, and I’ve gotta say…there are a few that’ll probably live rent-free in my mind forever. They also just so happen to be homes that people of the internet have LOTS to say about — both good and bad — so I want to know what you love (or don’t love) about ’em.
1. Let’s kick things off with actor (and now designer) Ashley Tisdale’s home in Los Angeles. Her home recently made waves on the internet for something having to do with…well, 400 or so curated books, but we’ll get into that shortly.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comLet’s also not skip her entertainment room, which includes this built-in sofa that looks like it could easily fit 15 people.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comAnd cascading over her simply massive pool area, she has a huge tree that she’s outfitted with glass hearts — collected from her “favorite hotel in Cabo.”

To start with the obvious, Scott’s house gives “open floor plan” a new meaning. Even without a measuring tape, I can confidently tell you that the empty space between him and his dining table is the width of my entire apartment.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comScott mentions that under-stair space is often wasted space, so in his home he opted for this 500-bottle wine “cellar,” complete with custom glass doors.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comHe describes his kitchen as a “double island” kitchen since, yep, there are two separate kitchen islands parallel to one another. One is for working while the other is mostly for eating — and both are decked out with some seriously luxe Carrara marble.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comFinally, let’s talk about the main bedroom, where he had a custom 9×9-foot bed built — including custom pillows, custom sheets, and a custom mattress made to fit the odd proportions. (For reference, a king-sized bed is about 6×7 feet.) This is what it looks like.

Kerry’s home features this piece of art, which she describes as one of the things she loves most about the apartment. The twist? It’s actually a 3D-printed replica created by General Public — a company founded by her Scandal co-star, Portia de Rossi.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comShe talks about her Vitamix being her favorite item in the kitchen…but honestly, the detail that caught my eye is the mini stainless steel subway tile backsplash, complete with outlet covers to match.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comIn her formal dining room, Kerry has these white, slipcovered chairs that — wait for it — are built with castors on the legs. (As she puts it, she and her family “might” spin around in the chairs before bedtime.)
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comAnd finally, let’s talk about this living room. It’s massive (especially for an NYC apartment), but it’s also pided down the line for two different functions. There are near-identical mirrored seating areas: one for enjoying the view, another for watching TV.

It may not be “interior design” per se, but the first (and very obvious) design feature to point out is that their home is indeed a 19th century windmill, converted into a legit house.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comStepping inside, there’s a massive fireplace in the living room…lined with this eclectic ceramic custom “mantle” of sorts (and some moody lighting for drama’s sake).
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comJust off their kitchen, Robert and his wife Susan have a pink-hued breakfast nook — complete with this tufted, polka-dotted bench (that’s apparently a great place to nap and eat).
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comFinally, speaking of pink, let me introduce you to the tile choice in their main bathroom: a mosaic of pink, purple, and black circular tile.

In her formal living room (where she admittedly doesn’t spend all that much time), she has lots of antique religious artwork. In her own words: It gives the room a “romantic vibe.”
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comIn Sheryl’s music room (just off the formal living space), she has wood-paneled walls, even more antiques, and a papier mâché elephant hanging above the fireplace. She “doesn’t love” real taxidermy — but she’s “not above” proudly displaying this cruelty-free piece.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comAs a self-described “collector of odd things,” her barn holds one very odd item in particular…death masks. They’re traditional masks cast out of the faces of the deceased — in this case, late presidents William Howard Taft and William McKinley.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comLast, since she lives in the house and works from the barn, she wanted another separate space that was “total inspiration.” Enter: the custom chapel she built in the woods of her property.

First up, her 1,000-pound chandelier in the entry. Since it’s literally a thousand pounds, she didn’t realize a chandelier that heavy required special bracing (so the ceiling won’t, ya know, cave in). So, it was mounted ~crystal-less~ until the ceiling could get worked on.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comThis bassinet that was “sent to her” when her first daughter was born? It’s giving Mad Men chic, and it’s also one of her favorite items in the entire home.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comSpeaking of her daughter, Shay also converted her “junk room” into this very ~pink~ nursery for her — which her designer Chad Wood calls: “smart pink.”
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.comLast, the bar area is truly a sight to behold. Between the numerous gold accents, the loud and proud floral wallpaper, and the moody floor-to-ceiling curtains, it’s a definitely a statement.
Architectural Digest / Via youtube.com(And listen, IDK if I can technically factor this into my overall opinion on her home, but her dog? 11/10 would pet.)
