OK, let's be honest. We've all done it. Maybe a friend sends a link, maybe we just find it while we're scrolling, maybe it's just something to do during a boring meeting at work or late at night when we are procrastinating on going to bed. No matter when or how it happens, we've all gone down the rabbit hole of gawking at real estate listings for homes we can never afford, right? There is a sneaky, almost voyeuristic thrill that comes from getting a peek into a stranger's house, and we can't lie: We're into it.
But the Zillow listings for houses in our area are nothing compared to the fun of getting to take an online tour of a celebrity home. Whether it is a self-guided tour on an Instagram story or a more formal tour meant to show off all of the fancy interior designer touches for a publication like Architectural Digest, we love to see inside these multimillion-dollar mansions.
Even though most celebrity homes are designed and decorated by professionals, it still feels like getting a glimpse of what a celebrity's tastes are really like. Celebrity home tours are also a fun way to imagine what our own houses would look like if we had all the square footage — and an unlimited budget, of course. So scroll on for 15 celebrity home tours that make us more than a little jealous!
Travis Barker
Travis Barker may look every inch the hardcore rock star that he is, but his Calabasas, California, home is actually pretty chill. He was recently featured in Architectural Digest, and his home is a peaceful mixture of indoor and outdoor living. Does it have more skull decorations than maybe a non-rock star house would have? Sure, but we still dig it!
Glennon Doyle & Abby Wambach
Olympian and World Cup soccer champ Abby Wambach and her wife, Glennon Doyle (author of Untamed), recently moved to California, and their new house is so dreamy. Not only does the house seem cozy and welcoming, the ocean views are to die for and it is clearly a book lover's paradise, with cool shelving and artistic piles of books in the main rooms.
Bryce Dallas Howard
Jurassic World star Bryce Dallas Howard describes her California house as a "retro-futurist dream come true" — and from the pictures on her Architectural Digest tour, we can see why. We're fully swooning over the gorgeous tile in the bathrooms and the funky-cool light fixtures in the dining room.
Lizzo
It's basically impossible to listen to Lizzo and not feel a sense of joy. She's musical sunshine, so it makes sense that her house is light, bright, and cheerful. In her "73 Questions" video for Vogue, we get small glimpses of that house, including the amazingly comfortable Lovesac chair she has and her walk-in closet filled with colorful, fun fashion. It is a house as welcoming as she is!
Ashley Tisdale
Fans of both home renovation and actress Ashley Tisdale flock to her Instagram account, where she spent more than a year showing behind-the-scenes glimpses of her house renovation project. She still regularly posts about some of her favorite design elements in the home she describes as "chic but fun."
Kim Kardashian's Gym
Full disclosure: Kim Kardashian's house doesn't give us jealousy (it is a little too white and sterile for our vibes), but her gym? Whoooo, boy, are we jealous of that! Her Instagram stories about her daily workout give us so much exercise envy. All that space and equipment and no having to wait in line or deal with other people's sweat? Yes, please!
Serena Williams
Serena Williams' home in Miami is more than just a family home. It's also an art gallery, a mini-museum filled with trophies and memorabilia from her historic tennis career, and a place for making music (who doesn't love a dedicated karaoke space?). Another fun fact is that her sister Venus was her interior designer.
Lenny Kravitz
Yes, Lenny Kravitz's Brazilian home is gorgeous. It is filled with natural light, interesting artwork, and lots of personal touches. But our jealousy really kicks in when he goes outside and we can see all the lush green landscape surrounding his working farm. We can practically smell the fresh air through the screen!
Naomi Campbell
Another celeb whose real estate portfolio includes property all over the world is supermodel Naomi Campbell. Her luxury villa in Kenya is just beyond. She's got four pools, plenty of indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces, and furniture and pieces from local artists that perfectly match the light and airy vibes of her private sanctuary.
Hilary Duff
We love Hilary Duff's home tour not only because she has charming style, but also because she keeps it real. Yes, her home is gorgeous and has some fancy touches, but it also has a table with Sharpie marks on it and wood pieces with water marks because — as she explains in the video — her family actually does live there. We can be jealous of her backyard pool and still totally relate to the dings and nicks that come from having kids in a house!
Kendall Jenner
It might be surprising to some people, because her house might be the most comparatively modest in size, but Kendall Jenner has the house we are most jealous of when it comes to the Kardashian/Jenner family. Not only does she actually embrace having color (imagine that!), but she's got a whole room devoted to painting that makes our inner artist swoon.
Zendaya
There is nothing quite as delicious as the smell of fresh citrus, so we are totally drooling over Zendaya's dreamy backyard. Her outdoor oasis, as seen in her "73 Questions" Vogue interview, is filled with citrus trees and has a cool and inviting pool, too. Fresh lemonade by the pool sounds like a fab idea.
Adam Levine & Behati Prinsloo
The one-story ranch house owned by Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo gives us some major kitchen envy. It's not over-the-top fancy, but it is just the perfect light and airy space for hanging out. We're jealous of that huge island and big table that's perfect for casual entertaining.
Nate Berkus & Jeremiah Brent
There's nothing surprising about the fact that Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent have an amazing living space in New York City, given that they are literally professionals at making spaces look great. But we still love the tour of their townhouse and getting to see all the cool details, including some wallpaper to die for.
Dakota Johnson
Sometimes a celebrity home doesn't have to be the biggest or the fanciest to still make us jealous. Dakota Johnson's house is basically the perfect bungalow for someone who doesn't have a big family, and we love the small green kitchen and all the gorgeous light and wood throughout. If we were going to daydream about not being surrounded by kids all the time, we might daydream about living in a house like this!
