The armchairs with studded detailing and sprawling rugs layered underfoot all add up to the details close to the ground. This kind of setup makes a room feel more relaxed and social.
After acquiring it, rather than modernizing it beyond recognition, Aniston brought in interior decorator Stephen Shadley, who had worked with her on an earlier home, to gently restore the house to its mid-century roots while keeping it current.
