Actress Lena Headey is known for playing a queen on Game of Thrones who lives a lavish lifestyle but in real life, she prefers things much more casual and understated. This is reflected in the home she recently finished renovating the San Fernando Valley. Built in the 1950s, Lena knew it was the place for her as soon as she stepped inside and hired a builder to help her bring her vision for the property to life.

The home now has an open-concept layout that is bright and airy. Lena made sure that many of the home’s original features were preserved while updating it with a mid-century modern aesthetic. There are rustic touches that give it a casual edge that is unique to Lena, who has a carefree and uninhibited vibe that is reflected in the home.

Check out this inspiring home tour from Dwell to see the results of Lena’s beautiful passion project.

Lena Headey Home Tour

Casual, comfortable sofas and a clean palette make the living room feel airy yet cozy.

Pretty blue tile gives the shower a touch of personality.

The master bedroom has a simple elegance that mixes glamour with minimalism.

Herringbone wood floors are one of the many touches that make the home feel special.

A metallic backsplash is a surprising touch of glamour in the otherwise understated kitchen.

Bright orange seating and umbrellas pop on the white facade outdoors.

The outdoor shower is hidden behind a charming reclaimed wood wall.

One of the spare bedrooms is simple with a blue bed, white bedding and a rough wood end table.

The play area for the kids keeps with the rustic minimalism with a flair of whimsy.

Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors open up the house to the outdoor area to blur the lines between the indoors and outdoors.

This home looks like the perfect place to relax and unwind with friends and family.
