Inside NBA Star Carmelo Anthony’s Stylish New Home | Open Door | Architectural Digest

Today AD is welcomed by former NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony to tour his stylish new home in Westchester, New York. After closing out his two-decade-long basketball career in May, the New York native felt it was time to settle into a more spacious pad in the suburbs. Leaving the Los Angeles Lakers and New York Knicks behind him, Anthony teamed up with interior designer Cassandre Bonhomme to create a home that matched his eclectic taste. Together, they designed a “modern vintage” interior-ornate fixtures paired with a luxe color palette and fabrics make the perfect home for Carmelo’s extensive contemporary art collection. With more space to stretch his legs and just a short drive into the city, it’s safe to say that Melo has settled nicely into his next chapter in the ’burbs. “I love land, I love space. Once you start getting out of the city and traveling and going to these other places, you realize that a 25 to 30-minute drive is not that far from the city.”

Everybody's house speaks to their own personality what are you talking about? Just because one person wants to wear a plain white V neck and somebody else wants to wear shirts with a ton of art on it, doesn't mean the white V neck isn't showing their personality, that's who they are. This probably wont make sense to you though.

Literally you wouldn’t know he was an NBA star unless it shows in his house because this is by far the absolute best Open Door yet!

How art changes the entire athmosphere of the house. I love the one in the dining room especially. I admire people when they enjoy art and support up and coming artists. it is hard to find that kind of celebrities who are in sports field. Art makes big difference in the house also makes big difference in human soul. I happen to get along with people who respect Art. Actually that and them being animal lover, these are my main criteras choosing my friends. I didn’t know him much as he speaked I could see he has gentle soul with deep understanding and wise perspective. 👍🏻

You can tell hes a New Yorker through and through just by how busy his house is, which imo is a lost touch in todays interior design culture. Feels like everything in the room has a story. The house itself is a great conversational piece when you have people coming to visit.
