Ellen DeGeneres: Your Source on New Home Designs

Ellen DeGeneres: she’s a television personality, comedian, author and…expert on new home designs?

You know what they say: if the shoe fits, wear it, and Ellen is doing just that with her new book, Home. In the hardcover beauty, Ellen helps readers understand her own personal design tastes and how she’s successfully renovated more than 20 homes in her years.

Home Lets You in on Some of Hollywood’s Hottest New Home Designs

Throughout Home, DeGeneres showcases some of her favorite new home designs in and around the Los Angeles area. The designs featured range from modern to contemporary and offer something for virtually every taste, style, and budget.

One of the most drool-worthy homes in the entire book is The Brody House, a modern private home in the Holmby hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. Designed by world-famous architect Quincy Jones, the home features a stark black-and-white color scheme and some of the most unique artistic features of any home you’ve ever seen.

If modern isn’t your style, you might enjoy looking through Wallace Frost’s premier work of art – a 1930’s era Tuscan villa located in the scenic hills of Santa Barbara. Complete with exposed wood beams and cool, wine-cave-esque stone walls, this beautiful villa is the ideal inspiration for anyone who wants to design their home to offer comfort, functionality, and form.

Another property featured in Home is “The Birdhouse,” which sits high in the Hollywood Hills. Designed by the famous California-based architecture firm Marmol Radziner, The Birdhouse includes a built-in fireplace, modern leather chairs, rich walnut bookshelves, and a custom sofa that virtually begs you to sink in and enjoy the afternoon.

Let Ellen Show You the Way

While Ellen DeGeneres is good at many things, she’s got an eye for new home designs that verges on the expert. In recent years, her HGTV show Ellen’s Design Challenge has become a major hit and her ED by Ellen lifestyle brand has gained national acclaim. It follows suit that Home would be a major success, as well.

Even if you’re not a professional designer, Home is a wonderful place to learn about new design trends, some of the most prominent designers of this day and age, and some seriously beautiful modern home designs that you can apply to your own abode. Ideal for anyone who wants to learn more about new home designs, Ellen is a wealth of highly relatable and approachable information.
