Catherine Zeta-Jones' home in New York with her husband Michael Douglas is a true spectacle - and just as grand as you would imagine.
In September, the Wednesday actress marked a family milestone as her Fatal Attraction star husband turned 80. Michael shared a video with his 1.7 million Instagram followers where his wife, 55, was seen singing 'Happy Birthday' alongside U2 frontman Bono.
The Mask of Zorro actress was seen in a dimly-lit living room which features blue maximalist printed wallpaper with a large TV on a mahogany stand.

Loud wallpaper is a major yes
Many of us are tempted to opt for bare walls to make a space feel larger, however Sophie tells us that wallpaper can elevate a space. "The bold wallpaper helps to set the tone of the room and works with the traditional features, such as the beautiful detailed cornice, windows, and grand fireplace," she explains.

Sophie tells us that Morris & Co. wallpapers look great on every wall which creates a traditional yet maximalist look - much like the effect achieved by the Douglases.

Catherine and Michael are not the first A-list couple to add touches of gold to their home - take John Legend and Chrissy Teigen's opulent entryway and metallic music room, for example.

Ditching a modern aesthetic
Many Hollywood stars, including the likes of Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman, have opted for uber-modern aesthetics. However, the mother of two's space is a little different.
"I like how the room doesn't have a modern aesthetic because they have chosen a traditional style that suits the character and beautiful features within the room," the interior designer tells us. "There appear to be some interesting pieces of artwork to add a contemporary twist, which I love!".

A certain feature does however add a contemporary touch. "The blue sofa adds richness and depth to the room, it appears to be in a velvet fabric," Sophie says. "The sofa fabric looks sumptuous and works well with the blue tones within the patterned wallpaper."
