The 28-year-old model-turned-actress CARA DELEVINGNE has opened the doors to her Los Angeles house, and the interior is just as whimsical as you’d anticipate.
Delevingne said her fun house reflects “lots of different themes and moods” because her career requires her to “put on many different hats and costumes.”
The architect Nicol Bini of Line Architecture created her “adult playhouse,” as she refers to it, with a strong emphasis on nature, as evidenced in Gucci heron wallpaper, a snake carpet, and bird sculptures, with several houseplants transforming her space into a true jungle.
A poker area, a ball pit, a costume room ideal for fancy dress parties, and trampolines near the outdoor pool all contribute to the overall fun-and-games feel.
According to Delevingne, “I love games — charades, beer pong, poker, Cards Against Humanity, tug-of-war, whatever feels fun.”
“The house becomes an obstacle course when my pals visit. It reminds her of Alice in Wonderland’s indoor/outdoor playground, she claims. “I just jump in the ball pit if I’m having a bad day. A ball pit is not really the place to cry.
Built in 1941, the lovely mansion, which structurally resembles an English country-style residence, even contains a secret door known as Delevingne’s “vagina tunnel” (it connects the living area to a concealed room).
A mirrored ceiling, tasseled swing, and stripper pole in the model’s attic party bunker, however, are necessary for the house to be considered complete.
Her house doubles as a museum for her most treasured possessions, including a music area that houses a Chanel guitar that the late Karl Lagerfeld gave her and another instrument that David Bowie autographed.
Delevingne asserts that despite what some people may believe, “It still seems like a home. There is a wonderful kitchen, a formal dining room, and a living room. But it’s also a voyage in a way. You find more goodies as you descend deeper.
