Inside Nicole Scherzinger's LA House with a Cozy Home Theater | Open Door | Architectural Digest

hi ad I am the coal shooting her and welcome to my house I've been living in this house for not even two years now I bought this house because when I walked in it I saw this beautiful view because I wanted a house with a view overlooking Los Angeles but when I bought it there was a huge wall here and there was a little tiny sliding door there and a window over here and I wanted people to be able to see the view as soon as they walked in so I opened everything up so that just feels like a big nice open living area my house is split into four levels but this is primarily my main level when I took down that wall I needed storage space so I built all of the storage over here I'm very particular about woods and grains of woods and stains of woods so I made sure to get this exactly right how I wanted it and I'm very particular about marbles this is a particular Calcutta it kind of looked like a hummingbird when I found it and I put a massive Island in I knew that I wanted another elevated piece of wood here for the island to add another texture the chairs are essential they swivel and they're soft leather ski sky when you're entertaining or you're having dinner you can enjoy the view and your friends so it's a big fun area I really love this piece this is a charred big maple leaf wood one whole slab with anodized X's bronze detail and I designed this with guru one of my favorite companies out of Brooklyn I love it because you could see all the movement and the grains of the wood and I know that live edge is pretty cool but I wanted to make it a little bit more modern so I kept the natural live edge but then I wanted to make the ends square and clean it's nice and thick and its hella heavy and it's just a stunning piece that I love whoo-hoo to shout out teller I love art and I love collaborating with artists so a lot of the artwork in my house is actually commissioned artwork as another artist and a slight control freak I'm like let's build something together but this particular piece is my favorite piece it's a pretty classic retina if you look at the detail there's actually a slice through the painting I contacted him and I said what happened and it's beautiful because his mother actually sewed it together so I just loved it and it kind of represents how mom's always put things back together and I know my mom is my everything and it just is the pride of place artwork of the home this is my den and this is probably my favorite room in the house because it's so cozy these couches you could just sink into them forever this is where I chill out and relax and hang out with my girls or my family and just talk and drink wine and watch the sunset because the view is amazing when I built this done I wanted to make sure I had bookshelves cuz I feel like bookshelves just adds so much more warmth to the room I mean obviously you've got a hug books and you have pictures but on the very top shelf up there it's a reflection of my heritage it's actually my mother's who leaves the red feather ones there I don't know like Hawaiian maracas that you dance with and do Tahitian with and then you have an e poo a Hawaiian instrument made out of dried squash that you pound on the ground and make a beat and a rhythm I love this room because I wanted it to feel just very warm and inviting and cozy when it's cold I put on the fire and open the pocket doors watch the sunset and I have wine I think it's really special anyone who knows me knows that I'm an extremely private person but you guys are gonna get a sneak peek into my James oh come on uh before we go into my bedroom we're gonna make a pit stop this is obviously where my piano is I chose this because I'm really up high here and has a beautiful view and obviously I love music it's my everything this is just a really great place to play piano play around with ideas and to sing and prepare my material and songs and should just let go this actually is so weird cuz I never see this is a big part of who I am Whitney Houston was my idol growing up and this album changed my life it's the reason why I sing so just off the piano room is my bedroom I have like three different comforters on my bed because I get very cold at night and kind of have a problem sleeping sometimes weighted blankets on you help you just sleep it makes you feel like you're in the womb kind of weird fact maybe that'll help someone out there I actually grew up in a really small house so I feel the most comfortable sleeping in small bedrooms and small spaces so I wanted it to feel like a nook and just really cozy and there's nooks on either sides with outlets and stuff to charge your phone I wanted my head we're really tall and dramatic and this is one of my favorite colors I feel like it's such a rich beautiful color and that's made of vintage velvet and I loved keeping things really modern and classic and clean but then adding a touch of the tuft nails on the edge so it still feels like warm and a bit traditional there is a kind of a running theme within my house with Gray's organic neutrals keeping things really clean or having a little bit of contrast like my fireplace right here this is a special marble that I found and I just love the subtle movement within the marble probably the best part about my bedroom is this big old fat juicy yummy balcony I feel literally like I'm on top of the world when people come over they say the higher you are up on the hills the closer you are to heaven so I feel like I'm up in the clouds up here this is my bathroom I wanted it very white and clean I put in Calcutta marble floors my tub it's great it's nice and big I open up my doors at night the whole city twinkles I feel the breeze I pretty much live in here it's my marble steam shower I love love love steam showers they make me really happy and they're good for my voice when I'm getting my voice all warmed up ready to sign I decided that I needed one area to wash my face skin care all that jazz then I needed another area where I could just sit down do my thought Shay and my hair so that's where you come over here and it's a full glam area it's awesome plus I'm too lazy I got to sit down get my makeup in here this is my theater I designed it to just be like a little hidden cave it's just such a great place for my family and friends to just go and hide away when you're watching movies lights are out so we have little theater lights so you can see where you're going I don't really like theater chairs I'm like if you're at home and you're watching movies who wants to be in a chair even if it reclines why not be in like a big sofa bed so every single tear has a big sofa bed and for all you long humans out there all of my couches I've designed to be seven feet deep so you can fully get all up in here and just like so in this theater I actually have movies that I've either done been a part of or movies that inspire me I've done men in black 3 I died really early in the beginning so if you go to the bathroom or you sneeze then you'll miss me I've done dirty dancing done wanna what's up you lookin at Mona's mom seen over here Purple Rain inspires me so much these are either musicals I've either been a part of or I'm a fan of and everyone who comes into this theatre I make them run and jump up here sink and then this sake it's just so good this room was like a big ol hug like a big old cave hug this is one of my guest rooms and I love this bed in particular this bed is actually called a cloud bed I laced it with some Italian linen a lot of times when you go to other people's homes and if you're staying there sometimes you like knock your shin and stuff on wooden beds but this bed is actually really soft as you could tell I wanted it very monochromatic and to keep it really simple and clean and all of my balconies pocket the house so every room actually has a view and has its own unique view of Los Angeles on a clear day you can see all the way from downtown to the beach this is my plaque wall it's a bit hidden not many people see this area of my house I do have it up because it does make me appreciate some of the accomplishments a lot of people know me for the dolls and I loved my time with the girls and especially the touring around the world but a lot of people who do know me know that I'm such a theater nerd and love theater I go to the theater anytime I can I love musical theater and probably one of the things I'm the most proud of it was actually when I played Grizabella and cats at the London Palladium yeah one of my proudest moments I don't use that word very often proud but it was a very proud moment and I was casually nominated for an Olivier this is my indoor/outdoor lounge I designed this space for entertainment I'm not home very often but when I am home I like to stay home and have a few friends over and barbecue I always want everything in my house to be very clean and chic but at the same time I wanted everything you'd be really comfy this is just a really great area to sink in and watch movies at night as you gaze at the city as I mentioned I'm all about comfort so that's why I created these custom-made lounges kind of like lounge beds because I like to sprawl out when I'm laying out and hanging out with my girlfriends and over here we are featuring the world's smallest pool I live on a hill as you can see so I went to the ends of the earth just to create this little baby okay it's actually six feet deep it's saltwater it heats up to 100 degrees on a hot day you can dip in and at night it's nice to get in and it's like a glorified jacuzzi okay no sure Zee house is complete without a swing I knew building this house I had to put a swing somewhere and what better place with this view outside with my baby pool this is my happy place and it's where I just so wing all my cares away literally all of those Los Angeles City of Angels [Music] all right avy thank you so much for coming I hope you enjoyed the tour but I'm about to have a screening party for my premiere so you got to get on out of here bye [Music]
