After three decades in the spotlight, peace and quiet has become Jennifer Aniston’s priority. It’s a sentiment reflected in her subdued Los Angeles home, featuring tranquil landscaping, a soft, neutral interior palette, and a collection of crystals curated with the utmost intention.
Aniston has transformed her Bel Air property—which she purchased for $21 million in 2011—into a sanctuary. She worked with a team including Stephen Shadley (who renovated her former Beverly Hills home) to give the Quincy Jones-designed midcentury house a relaxed refresh, as reported by ELLE Decor. Among the notable design additions are Abstract Expressionist paintings, hand-painted wallpaper, and silk rugs, along with poolside gardens and terraces.
In Vanity Fair’s more recent glimpse inside Aniston’s house, writer Julie Miller refers to interior design as the actor’s “love language,” and cites it as the point of conversation where she opens up the most. Miller notes a wall-spanning window which seems to overlook the whole of Los Angeles, as well as a total absence of screens. The living room features a serene palette of light neutrals, including white peony arrangements, cream couches, and white candles.
Miller probes Aniston on a pair of brass-sculpted men’s hands flanking her fireplace, which were the first “big purchase” The Morning Show star made for the first home she decorated, she shares. Interior design is also identified as a common interest and bonding point between Aniston and her close friend, Sandra Bullock, who is referenced frequently in the feature.
Crystals are a second common theme. Miller observes a few scattered on Aniston’s coffee table (including a raw amethyst, for calm and spiritual growth, and a clarifying white crystal) alongside an incense dispenser and design books. When Miller commended the star’s abode for having “the anxiety-suppressing effect of a spa,” Aniston noted, “If my home can bring your nervous system into the parasympathetic nervous system, then I should open up a business.”
In the year of the snake, Aniston recommends white jade for its grounding properties, as well as amethyst and rose quartz. Whether you subscribe to the woo-woo side of design, or simply want to channel the decor that coaxes calm out of someone as publicly spotlit as Aniston, her selections are worth bookmarking.
