Inside Emma Roberts’s Charming Los Angeles Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest

Today, AD is welcomed by Emma Roberts to tour her charming Los Angeles home. When The ‘American Horror Story’ star and her son moved into their new home, she enlisted AD100’s Pierce & Ward to work their magic on the space. Rich florals and luxurious velvets pair with vintage furniture creating a cozy environment for Roberts to kick back and relax. Roberts was excited at the idea of making her very own grown-up dollhouse and with an extensive doll collection, her home has become just that. Ready for a new chapter in her new home, Roberts couldn’t be happier with how the space turned out. “I have a picture of the day we moved in,” Roberts says, smiling. “I’m holding him and it was the most sunny California day, and we were in front of the blue door of our new house. I just remember feeling like we are exactly where we need to be.”

@@Jessica-ym2mx exactly. I really like Pierce and Ward but this is textbook their aesthetic/personalities. I mean, the way she talks about some of the rooms is as if she had nothing to do with their design and didn't see them until they were finished.

Now this house actually looks lived in. The different colors and textures made this house so comfy and quaint. I really like Emma's style.

[@LieselBee_]

I'm obsessed. I love that she credited her designers so much while still taking credit for the bits of her personality everywhere. I wish it were longer!!!

[@dannisherman5008]

I had no opinions about Emma before watching this video. I now am in love with her. What she finds chic: fascinating. The way she’s telling us about mismatching side tables like it’s the craziest and most genius thing in the world: incredible. Having her office in her washroom: iconic

[@MarnieGolde7]

Love her style. Don’t like her history of domestic abuse…

[@user-jv9fl4uw4l]

@@MarnieGolde7​​⁠not that it makes everything okay but emma had bruises on her legs in July 2013 when the incident with Evan occurred. This insinuates they were both abusive to one another

[@Kakariko44]

​@@user-jv9fl4uw4lNo. Bruises on knees indicate accidental bruising, like bumping into something. In intentional injury cases bruising and injuries can mostly be seen on the face (which is what Evan had). Police also only arrested her, and according to police representative that was after interviewing them both and after interviewing witnesses. It was clear that only she abused him.

[@diabmetry1574]

This is a grandma's house... And I am absolutely here for it.

[@creoloko]

This was so unexpected, very enchanting style, it feels so genuine and unpretentious, every room is full of character, every inch of the house really wear’s the uniqueness of her mind and soul.

Completely! And it feels very sincere. Sometimes on these the celebrities will tell a story and you can just tell they're exaggerating it so they can seem more down to earth.

[@greenthumb1523]

I am so encouraged that she reads a lot, and so her son caught onto that great hobby. Reading makes you smart.

[@alezarwilliams]

This was so genuine, you can tell she came full circle and understand her own taste and filled the house with memories that mesh well 😭. BEAUTIFUL!

[@thelovelounge_]

I'm not gonna lie, that house is just perfect. It's more centered towards the nature theme which is something that I'm a huge fan of. Her doll obsession really got me off guard. I respect her for being candid about it. 💙
