When actress Minnie Driver, who hails from the UK, decided to downsize from her palatial Spanish-style home, she was delighted to find a 1940s ranch house in the Hollywood Hills that felt like an English cottage. With the help of English interior designer Gaynor Churchward, she went to work turning the blank slate into a home that is full of charm and character like the ones she grew up in.

She spent a lot of time traveling when she was growing up, so she wanted a space that embodied the memories of the fantastic places she had experienced and captured her eclectic sense of style. The result is something unique, inspiring, and full of personality.

The home brilliantly mixes styles, colors, and patterns to create a place that feels worldly and comfortable. Enjoy this special home tour courtesy of Elle Decor.

Minnie Driver Home Tour

A blue front door immediately welcomes you in with its charm and personality. Also, how cool is that chair?

The backyard features an adorable gazebo with a dining area, complete with a chandelier and a lush garden surrounding it.

A variety of bold, colorful accents pop on the neutral palette.

The master bedroom features an antique bed, built-in bookshelves, and an old world sense of style.

Another living area is refreshing, yet cozy with an oversized coffee table and shag rug.

The banquette in the dining room features an inspiring mix of patterns, including a pillow with the UK flag.

In her son’s bedroom, an all-blue palette is chic and perfect for a boy’s room. How cool is the wallpaper on the ceiling?

The master bathroom is the perfect place to unwind after a long day with a large freestanding tub and beautiful paneled walls. The pop of red in the area rug adds some life and luxury to the space.

What a beautiful home!
