Inside Shonda Rhimes’s Posh New York Apartment | Open Door | Architectural Digest

Today AD takes you to Manhattan’s Upper East Side to visit with the inimitable Shonda Rhimes for a tour of her posh new apartment. As the driving force behind a chain of hit series, most recently 'Bridgerton' and 'Inventing Anna', Rhimes is one of Hollywood’s most successful and inspiring creators. In designing her brand-new New York City apartment, Rhimes sought a space to write, create, and continue to build her successful Shondaland media empire - something she achieved with AD100 designer Michael S. Smith. The home is full of places where the single mother of three can decide to work (or daydream) as inspiration strikes. “I’m building an entire sort of universe in my mind, but I’m also trying to think of a series. It’s not just two hours, it’s not just 30 minutes; sometimes it’s 18 seasons. You really do need time and space to think about it.”
'Inventing Anna' is available to stream now on Netflix. Season 2 of 'Bridgerton' debuts March 25th.

Just love this. Such a beautiful home. Eclecticly elegant.

Blown away by the beautiful wallpaper that seems to pull many of the rooms rooms together. Especially the paper in the living room. A gorgeous choice! Having recently moved I am about to become a wallpaper freak. Thank you for the inspiration and the tour of your beautiful apartment!

Ok but why is nobody talking about how messy the pieces where put together or maybe they didn't age well

[@avengerwidow9]

what a great home! the cabinets over the windows are my favorite feature, it really helps to maximize the storage space while still allowing light to come in to the kitchen. i also love the wallpaper in the living room, it doesn't feel busy at all.

This along with Liv Tyler’s home are probably my favorites I’ve seen so far on AD. This apartment is a dream, everything about it is just WOW.

[@maliahjoy2959]

Omg yes, love Liv Tyler's home. And I also go by mimi. Lol.

[@krismabelle]

that window/cabinet in the kitchen is immaculate! such a fresh idea :D

[@iamkerenlouise]

Gosh, I love the multi use, warmth and serenity her place evokes. It seems peaceful, cozy and serene.

I did not expect this style at all but I’m delighted to have a peek into this dreamy space. Love the desk by the lemon tree and would absolutely spend hours at that cozy dining banquette. ✨

So well put together. Charming, refined and confy all at the same time. The wal paper in the living room is the star of the show. Loved it!!!

I love how chilled she is and not over the top. Just cosy and very beautiful and welcoming.

[@janicemintz8592]

This is a comfy, cozy home. Inviting home. Love the fact that she had a huge part of choosing everything and didn’t rely on a designer.

[@raymonds6227]

There in lies the problem. Where is her bedroom? In the dining room?

[@IOU2I]

I really miss her. Such a great soul. Her energy was so so good, but my immaturity was too much. Nice spot, but her LA home is a real gem. Keep doing your thing, Bella.

[@hmacklemore2226]

I don't enjoy the style but it's very clear this is a personal, lived-in home that reflects her personality. Also giving me Bridgeton vibes!

[@TheTaxburden]

This apartment is exquisite! Such wonderful spaces. Her and her designer have great taste. Love it!

[@sarahkay830]

I love this woman!! Looking into her home brought me much joy and inspiration
