Recreate The Look Of Anne Hathaway's Stunning Cozy Cottage

The only thing that's more fun than taking a peak inside celebrities' opulent, unique, and designer-curated houses is using their design wins as inspiration to create a stylish home of your own. While a-listers have access to million-dollar design budgets and the world's best interior designers on speed dial, we have the benefit of gazing at their masterpieces online, taking the best of their home designs, and implementing them into our own spaces for a fraction of the cost. One such home that provides ample inspiration is Anne Hathaway's stunning California chalet. Look inside and you'll see that Hathaway's cozy cottage is much more than your average cabin getaway. With curated color palettes, stunning vintage details, and an abundance of rustic charm — Hathaway's home is a design masterpiece. 

The best part is that this 1906-built hideaway contains many elements you can recreate in your home on a budget for an equally compelling aesthetic. For this reason, the home is a designer favorite. In a TikTok clip, Los Angeles-based interior designer Michael Graham Smith shared his thoughts on the Oscar-winning actress' house and its best features, noting "Her home is absolutely impeccable." He added, "It's probably one of my favorites, I would say, ever." Below, we look inside the Hathaway household and break down just what makes this chalet so special, and how to steal all the best details from this designer-crafted cozy cottage home for less.

Look inside Anne Hathaway's cozy cottage home and you'll find that it's a prime example of a humble celebrity home that hides how rich the residents are. On the inside, Hathaway's designer Pamela Shamshiri didn't go for anything pomp and circumstance. Instead, she embraced an eclectic aesthetic with various textures, colors, and styles. In Hathaway's mudroom, you'll find a color-blocked wall – burgundy red on the bottom, baby pink on top, and a black line separating the two colors. The floor tile is a black matte mosaic with white accents, and the room uses black and white furniture and decor. The door and window trim are natural wood, making for a mixture that's easy to recreate by utilizing color-blocking, natural wood, and an eclectic mashup of furniture and decor in your own home.

And, if you were wondering whether your living room furniture needs to match — Hathaway's home answers this question with a resounding no. This cozy space is emblematic of the style in Hathaway's home which is all about mismatched furniture and decor in many textures, colors, and styles. As the actress does, feel free to pair a bright blue curved couch with worn leather chairs, vintage green armchairs, shaggy rugs, lighting, and decor from different eras, and mix-and-match side tables made from curvy chiseled stone, polished wood, gnarled tree trunk, and metal. Embrace the same details in your home on a budget by going to thrift stores and decorating with flea market finds.

One of the best things about Anne Hathaway's cozy cottage home is that it's filled with historied character. To create the look, embrace architecture, furniture, and decor from the old world and add historical touches to your space. If you're on a budget, even better. Skip the big box stores and full-priced items, and instead fill your home with used, thrifted, or antique pieces. Look inside Hathaway's home, and you'll notice that it's filled with history. Her designer used lots of vintage items she sourced online, to take a page from her playbook and scour Craigslist, Etsy, eBay, and Facebook Marketplace for free and discounted deals. 

Don't worry about matching either. Hathaway's designer utilized mismatched details including a dining room table, chairs, and a hutch that were compatible, but not matching. The same goes for the music room where antiques abound. A French Art Deco fringe sofa, a magenta tufted chair, and an old black piano create a cozy, lived-in vibe while the open shelves are stacked with books, decorative pieces, and art. What we learn from a look at Anne Hathaway's cottage is that matching is overrated. Don't be afraid to step outside of the box and use historical features that are thought outdated or off-trend. The A-listers are doing it too, and, chances are that with a bit of elbow grease – you'll be able to find yours for far less than they did.
