Robert Downey Jr owns an 1885 windmill cottage in East Hampton, which he bought in 2017 for a reported $11.9 million. She revealed that the table can be transformed into other indoor sports like air hockey and snooker, and that much of the area is used only to prepare coffee while the actual cooking happens outside.
Celebrity homes are nothing short of ordinary; while some of them lean towards adding character to the home, others choose a minimalist aesthetic or a vintage setup according to their choices. Lady Gaga’s US$22.5 million Malibu mansion, the same home featured in her Netflix documentary “Five Foot Two,” comes with a private terrace and a spacious eat-in kitchen. Inside Demi Lovato’s Studio City farmhouse sits the “Shroom Room,” which is a psychedelic hangout space with rainbow modular seating, a shimmering patterned ceiling, and an interactive colour-changing cloud lamp by designer Rania Peet. It is more of a “farmhouse feel” home, different from his more futuristic Malibu estate.
Indian tennis legend Sania Mirza has long been known for staying connected to the sport even at home, and her Dubai residence includes her very own tennis table, placed right inside in her indoor kitchen. This detail makes total sense for someone who’s spent a lifetime on the court. But situated in the basement is a two-lane bowling alley, accessible only through a secret door hidden in the living room. The same lower level also has a home cinema, a wine cellar, and a fully stocked bar. Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan’s sea-facing Juhu home includes a large den that works as a home theatre as well; it is decorated with a complete full-sized chocolate vending machine, a genuinely unusual sight in a private residence. The same den also houses a foosball table, a billiards table, and a monkey bar, making the space feel less like a formal room and more like an indoor playground built for both Roshan and his kids. Lovato has described it as her favourite spot in the entire house, a place built purely for music, colour, and creative energy, and it’s become one of the most talked-about features of her widely covered Architectural Digest home tour. It was originally a children’s playhouse, and he renovated it into a cozy, rustic space by designer Joe Nahem. Graceland, the mansion Elvis Presley once called home and is now a museum, is a wonderfully weird place overall. But if there’s one room that beats everything else for sheer quirks, is it’s the Jungle Room.
