Gaga's digs span several acres and include a sanctuary-like backyard, a grand staircase, five bedrooms and twelve bathrooms, great views of the Pacific Ocean, a bowling alley, a wine cellar, a horse barn complete with riding area, a saltwater pool with jacuzzi and a home theater. It's situated in the ideal location minutes from Zuma Beach and is rumored to have a secret bat cave with a covert passageway. Needless to say, this sprawling house -formerly owned by Warner Bros Dan Romanelli- is a juggernaut. And it would have to be in order to house popstar royalty like Gaga.

But this not-so-humble abode also offers a vibe of relaxation, stillness and unpretentiousness. The house is nestled away in a relatively nondescript and quiet neighborhood of Malibu. "This is my sanctuary. My oasis of peace," said Gaga. "I call it my 'gypsy palace.'"

It's been four years since Gaga purchased this property, but due to its stable steel serenity and ideal location -apart from the chaos of the city- Lady Gaga has chosen to make this Malibu oasis her primary residence. "I just got rid of my place in New York—it was too hectic every day outside on the street," Gaga recently communicated.

Can you imagine Gaga dressed in a sleeveless black dress by Givenchy that showcases her gorgeous, curvaceous figure? Add in a 60s updo and oversized sunglasses and Gaga is ready to bask in the California sun on her outdoor patio.

Can you imagine Gaga walking up her grand staircase?

Cooking in her over-sized kitchen prior to the Grammy Awards? Or these days, it would most likely be prior to the Academy Awards. All that's missing from Gaga's living space is an Oscar.

Accompany Gaga into her walk-in closet and find racks of designer clothes reminiscent of Gianni Versace in the 90s and other memorabilia such as Gaga's eye-catching hat collection, a massive rack of sunglasses, a tailor-made cape from Alexander McQueen and, in an adjacent chamber, “racks upon racks of leather and feathers and sequins and a lot of black.” There's also that memorable pink fedora Gaga wore in "Joanne."

Once Gaga goes pink, she never goes back. “I like pink,” Gaga said. “It’s a relaxing color.” And her house screams of it—including a pink plush sofa and expansive pink rug.

Gaga's home is a slice of paradise. Imagine how many songs Lady Gaga has written while taking in this view? The setting here undoubtedly is one of inspiration for the music, and now movie legend.

In the past, Lady Gaga has spoken about the artistry she's admired in the late esteemed rocker, David Bowie (think here about Gaga's inspirational tribute to Bowie at the 2016 Grammys). Gaga cherishes her framed letter from Bowie that reads: “Dear Lady, Unfortunately, I will not be in NYC for a few months but many thanks for the cake.” A straightforward, genuine and heartfelt letter. Like Gaga herself.

The open-plan interior, that combines the living room and kitchen areas, creates a spaciousness that celebrates the natural light and enhances the cozy and comfortable ambiance. Joanne surely hangs out here.

As you know, Lady Gaga is in a lane all by herself and her at-home bowling alley also strikes a solo lane of greatness.

Imagine hanging out with Gaga on game night in her arcade? Just one of the many stellar -and authentic- events held here in Gaga's Malibu sanctuary.

This year’s latest interior design trends will put you in a groove that will surely take you back to the future. And to prepare you for that thrill, take a look at the following home design trends, inspired by the 70s, that have made a resurgence this year.

Velvet Sofas

A plush velvet sofa is this season's hit in any 70s-inspired home. Add in some ultra-plush shaggy throw pillows and your throwback-to-the-70s living room will be complete.

Wrap yourself up in some bold colors and fabric softness that will surely provide you with a cozy, comfort -yet, shaggy chic - experience on those nights when you’re feeling groovy but want to chill out at home. Perhaps watching the 70s version of A Star Is Born on Netflix.

Animal Print Rugs

18 Southey Street, Elwood, VIC

An animal faux, fur rug is the new contemporary fashion piece that works with multiple home styles: rustic, modern, contemporary or bohemian. And whether the rug is made from wool, cotton or leather, you can use it as that statement piece in your home; the one that warmly welcomes friends and family while expressing your personality.

Shag rugs are also a fluffy hit and can easily add a raised texture to your home.

Terrazzo Flooring

If baring it all is more your style, get down with some terrazzo flooring, reminiscent of the 70s, that seems to have hit the pavement at such a rapid pace and with a new wave of popularity, showing no signs of slowing down in 2018. Terrazzo flooring is a very hard, stone-like surface, with chips of marble, quartz, granite and glass embedded into a floor matrix. It's perfect for hustling around.

Wall Hangings

It’s no surprise that textural wall hangings made a comeback. This boho-chic trend includes handwoven tapestries or intricately knotted macramés that hang out to perfectly offset those oversized, shaggy pillows. Making the old new again has never been so fashion-forward.

Wicker

Wicker vintage pieces can make a statement about your crib as well: trendy cool. Visiting some estate state sales, thrift stores or consignment shops are all great venues to shop for those wicker, straw, cane or rattan furniture pieces that will add just the right amount of texture to your interior homescape.

Hanging light fixtures make all the difference. And choosing the right fixture will create a vibe that is reminiscent of the 70s but remain unique to your personalized living space. Choose the pendent light fixture that speaks to you and that fixture will begin as a conversation starter and eventually become the must-have item about which all your guests will surely rave. And rave. For months on end.

Color Scheme

The 70s' color palette includes harvest gold, burnt orange, avocado green, teal or turquoise. You can also mix in some earthy tones too: mustard, ochres, tans and browns. Use this color palette, with the perfect velvet sofa, signature wall hanging and spectacular terrazzo floor to create your perfect throwback-to-the-70s pad. By simply using the most dramatic color combinations, unpredictable patterns and offbeat textural elements, you'll create your own personalized throwback rendition of the 70s that will also ironically breathe a new modernity into your home.

As you can see, you can definitely live with some hits of your own, inspired by the 70s, that would even make Lady Gaga herself a fan of yours. Now’s clearly the time for you to bring the 70s back home with big, bell-bottomed flair.

What do Lady Gaga, Amar’e Stoudemire, and Tracy Morgan have in common? Well, aside from them being world-renown entertainers and very successful in their respective industries, they all at one time or another owned the same New York City penthouse apartment.

According to the New York Post, the four bedroom duplex–and apparent celebrity magnet–was recently purchased for a little over $6 million. Housed at 421 West 54th Street, it features a 1,076-square-foot private terrace, offering stellar views of city.

What’s most interesting is that the buyer of the swanky residence also owns the neighboring unit. His plans are to combine the two spaces and create a mega-penthouse.

The building–once the famed recording studio, The Hit Factory–was converted to 27 residential condominiums almost a decade ago. Classic albums and hit records from the likes of The Rolling Stones, JAY Z, and Whitney Houston have been recorded there.
