Celebrity homes tend to be grander and more glamorous than our own—and at Christmas, this is exactly what makes peeking inside them so much fun. Whether its an enormous Christmas tree or an expertly styled entryway, there’s something magical about celebrity homes at Christmas—no matter how aspirational the Christmas decor may be.
Fortunately, Home Beautiful has had the privilege of stepping inside a number of our Australian celebrity homes at this time of year. From Tim and Anna Robard’s elegantly decorated home to Darren Palmer’s creative Christmas tree, these are our favourite celebrity Christmas homes.
The elegant Sydney abode of Kate Waterhouse comes alive in summer, when she and her family decorate their home for Christmas together. Gold sparkling bows and pine garlands are found throughout the stylish home, capturing Kate’s “classic and timeless” Christmas decorating style perfectly.
“The girls love decorating the tree together and making pavlova. We also always watch a Christmas movie on Christmas Eve – it’s a tradition we all look forward to,” Kate shares.
A country Christmas, in a home built for their family’s evolution, was the dream for Kirsten and Rhys Stanley. The respective fashion model and Geelong Cats AFL player missed out on several farms before finding this regional Victorian property, where they live with their children Jagger, seven, Sloane, five, and Hudson, two.
Inside, a palette of greens and golds, warm whites, sparkly golds and soothing neutrals mixes in with tactile touches befitting the modern farmhouse style.
