Whether you know Dakota Johnson from her breakout performance in "Fifty Shades of Gray," love the quirky comedy "Cha Cha Real Smooth," or are excited about her role as a matchmaker in "Materialists," there's no question the actress is willing to take risks. Nowhere is this more evident than in Johnson's stunning home in the Hollywood Hills. Surrounded by dense bamboo and other lush foliage, her Mid Century Modern escape is a quintessentially bohemian retreat. From the art-filled dining room to the modernist master bathroom, it's challenging to pick a favorite room in what could best be described as a gypsy treehouse. But despite its small size, the U-shaped kitchen, with its bold green cabinetry, colorful vintage rugs, and carefully curated accessories, is what takes an otherwise great house to truly iconic.

Colorful painted cabinets can be trendy or a designer's worst nightmare. Johnson and her interior design team, Pierce & Ward, are clearly fans. Both upper and lower kitchen cabinets are painted with Benjamin Moore's Alligator Alley, a forest green with a low light reflectance value (LRV) that makes it look especially rich. You can get the same look with a few cans of paint in a satin or semi-gloss sheen. The look is lightened up considerably in Johnson's kitchen thanks to glass doors on the upper cabinets, and metallic hardware that resembles brushed silver throughout. It's easy to copy the look yourself with the addition of cabinet pulls like the Ravinte 5" Brushed Nickel Handles from Amazon.

"I love wood, and I love light, and windows, and green," Dakota Johnson told Architectural Digest as she gave viewers a tour of her magical home. There aren't as many windows in her tiny kitchen as there are in other rooms in the house, but things are lightened up quite a bit thanks to a white subway tile backsplash and lightly veined marble countertops. The shiny chrome range, hood, and dishwasher from Viking, and Sub-Zero refrigerator also bounce light around. If you want to get the same look but you're not working with a celebrity budget, consider some more affordable gas ranges that can give your kitchen a professional upgrade instead.

A few carefully curated accessories warm up and personalize Johnson's kitchen even more. A black and white photograph in a wood frame casually leans against the backsplash. It sits next to a head-shaped planter similar to the Abbott Collection Goddess Woman Planter from Amazon, a reminder that unexpected items can instantly elevate your kitchen. A tea connoisseur who named her production company after the beverage, Johnson situates a large copper tea kettle on her stove. She also displays wonderfully colorful tea service sets behind her glass cabinets. She rounds out her iconic kitchen with a colorful Persian rug and a caned chair. Many of the actress's pieces are vintage, so to get the look for your own space, scour flea markets and antique stores first to see if you can find the perfect accents before buying something new.
