Take A Look Inside Demi Lovato’s Psychedelic Home

It’s all good vibes in celebrity, Demi Lovato’s, trippy modern farmhouse. From a glam room to a pup play area, the star’s indoor-outdoor space is alive with possibility and colour. 

With six bedrooms and seven bathrooms spread across 8,500 square feet, Demi’s Studio City modern farmhouse provides a blank canvas that she had always dreamed about. Another bonus was the theatre and, of course, the backyard swimming pool. “I love the outdoor space,” she told the team from Architectural Digest. “I also loved that it had everything that I needed—there were a lot of houses that were beautiful, but there wasn’t [another] house that could have a room for glam, a room for my fittings, a room for my studio… Also, the vibe was really beautiful, and I just fell in love with it when I saw it.”

Step inside the Shroom…

Among the more surprising elements of Demi’s new home is the “Shroom Room”. Designed for entertaining, it has modular seating around the edge of the room in rainbow jewel tones, offset by shimmering silver walls and curtains.

A psychedelic patterned ceiling adds to the quirky vibe of the room, while an interactive cloud lamp by Rania Peet is the clear focal point. Demi enjoys listening to music there while watching the cloud change colours.

Designing this house was a process that paralleled Demi’s personal journey. This time around, Lovato wanted every inch of the space to fully embody her personality—and the sense of fluidity that continues to shape her identity.

A perfect match

Incidentally, Lovato’s head of security connected her with Argyle Design founders Kat Bell and James Drew. As soon as the trio met, it felt like a perfect fit. “It’s totally different because the last house that I owned for myself—I didn’t have a vision for it,” she explains. “It was just this blank, white, minimalistic yet cosy home… I really loved living there, but at the same time, it felt empty.”

Energy and good vibes

Bell emphasizes how establishing a level of trust with Lovato was a particularly unique, and special, experience. “Demi is a dream client for anyone to have,” she says. Overall, it was a super collaborative process, as the pair translated Lovato’s mood board into each room. This meant leaning into maximalism and pairing unexpected pieces together to create a spectrum of distinct vibes. “The house has great energy,” Drew says. “I’m not usually one that believes in that kind of stuff, but one thing I will say is doing this house was so much fun.”

Of course, this was all part of Lovato’s grand plan—she wanted her home to have good hosting energy filtered through an immersive experience. She gets excited when disclosing some of the provocative Easter eggs hidden around the house, such as mushroom-shaped stools, butt vases, and salt and pepper shakers shaped like boobs. Bell refers to these items as “LOL moments”. These are a reflection of Lovato’s playful personality, noting, “We wanted to make sure that anywhere you look there’s this piece that you’re like, ‘Oh my gosh, what is that?’”

Representation all around

Eva Seta, director of communications at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, was hired to curate the artwork. This includes pieces by emerging artists from underrepresented communities such as Monica Kim Garza, Lilian Martinez, Hannah Epstein, Yasmine Nasser Diaz, and Lola Rose Thompson. “I wanted it to be a very queer environment,” Lovato explains. “There’s a lot of female empowerment as well, so keeping pieces that are representative of the female figure was very important to me. We live in a world that shuts you out of honouring female bodies, so I want it to be in your face in my house.”
