The pop singer-songwriter purchased the humble abode in 2019 at a price of $2.4 million. However, much has occurred in the recent years of Halsey’s life including news of a baby with producer Alev Aydin. Mirroring the new addition to her family, she has also expanded her real estate assets. Her most recent purchase earned her a $10.2 million property in Calabasas, CA. The home, previously owned by former One Direction star Liam Payne, spans 9,700 square feet and is equipped with five bedrooms, six bathrooms, pool, gardens, and a recording studio. With the new Calabasas residence in Halsey’s possession, her previous Sherman Oaks property is now for sale.

The 1959 Sherman Oaks home, a design envisioned by architect Richard Dorman, includes four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms spanning 2,425 square feet. The serene and secluded home is set on a half acre of land surrounded by lush green landscaping. Stepping inside the property, it opens to a spacious living room with a cozy fireplace leading to the yard and pool. Further into the home presents a sleek kitchen, dining area, family room, office, detached recording studio, and spacious patio. The master suite included a bathroom with dual vanities and sliding glass doors leading outside. Guest bedrooms also offer access to the outdoor space and each room features floor to ceiling windows with a gorgeous view of the surrounding greenery.

As the Sherman Oaks property is placed on the market, the house has been stripped of Halsey’s personal touch and is ready for a new owner.

“Listen to your heart, spend time filling the space and sketching around. Don’t make fast decisions, don’t rush it. Everything will come to you if you read and interact with the space. Trust yourself.” – Pepe Calderin of Pepe Calderin Design.

The post 6 Interior Design Professionals Weigh In On The Design Trends and Tips Of 2019 appeared first on Haute Residence by Haute Living.

HR: What are Halsey’s favorite brands, designers and artists in relation to the furnishing and artwork inside the home?

BB: We had a lot of fun incorporating custom furnishings into the home to reflect her personal style, but we were definitely drawn to House of Hackney for pillows, lamps and accessories, as well as Ryan McGinley for artwork. We worked with one of our favorite local artisans, A Beautiful Mess Home, to create amazing one of kind pieces. For vintage finds, we love The Mart Collective in Venice, CA.

HR: Given the public’s access to Halsey’s private life, how did you go about creating privacy, comfort and solitude in her home?

BB: Creating a comfortable, relaxing oasis was definitely a priority for us throughout the design process. One way we accomplished this was through the greenery. We have a 10’ living wall in the entry, as well as various types of palm trees throughout the home. The greenery instantly creates a feeling of good energy, provides clean air and comfort. We also wanted the master bedroom to be cozy, yet stylish. We took a lot of inspiration from our hospitality design roots and treated it like a hotel room. The monogrammed bedding and ensuite seating area give that hospitality feel to a residential space.

HR: Can you walk me through your design process and the elements you used to incorporate Halsey’s personality throughout the home?

BB: The process begins with a collection of inspiration. Images, magazine clippings, art, fabrics, anything that just speaks out us. We then collaborate with our clients and see what they respond to. After we determine the creative direction, we get specific. Plans are drawn, furnishings are selected, all while working closely with the client to establish their unique style. We really tapped into Ashley’s past and present. Her New York roots inspired the factory windows in her bedroom, the velvet fabrics, the layered rugs and more. We then tied in her love for greenery, gained inspiration from her music videos and her love for Playboy, inspired by her recent cover, to encompass the now.

HR: Let’s touch on the room decorated with playboy covers – super cool room – is there a reason behind this specific choice of décor?

BB: Ashley was recently on the cover of Playboy. She knew from the get-go she wanted to incorporate the magazine into her home. One of her favorite art pieces that she already had was an enlarged cover from the 1960’s. The perfect place for this idea was an awkward little space adjacent to her dining room. Ashley and I came up with the idea to make it a bar, a great place to entertain, and perfectly in line with the kitchen and dining areas. We took ideas from Brooklyn neighborhood bars, 7/11 style kitsch and the mid-century influence of Playboy’s 1960’s past, to create a really special combination for this statement room, unlike anything either of us had seen. This was Ashley’s baby throughout the project and the thing we really wanted to get right. I’m really happy we nailed it!

HR: How involved was Halsey through the design process? she mentions on Instagram this is her dream home.

BB: Every client has their own level of involvement, but Ashley’s was one of the most special relationships I’ve had in my career. She has such an eye for style and design, and an undeniable sense of creativity and innovation. Working with her was incredibly collaborative and such a wonderful process. We were really able to tap into her individuality that way, it made the house the home it needed to be.
