Everyone’s favourite character actor, Stanley Tucci, has remodelled himself in recent years as a bit of a food aficionado, hosting a popular culinary travel series, Stanley Tucci: Searching for Italy. The famous foodie regularly posts cooking videos of favourite family recipes from his beautiful London home, which he shares with wife, Felicity Blunt.
With dove-grey custom cabinets, white marble countertops, brass fittings and a gorgeous floor-to-ceiling window overlooking his back garden, this kitchen certainly seems like a perfect place to whip up a family meal.
Ree Drummond, the self-professed ‘pioneer woman,’ has garnered a substantial Instagram following through her career as a cookbook writer, cooking show host, and general domestic goddess.
Celebrated in particular for her dish designs and country or cottage core aesthetics, Ree has also collaborated with Walmart to design a furniture collection so that fans can make their homes look as quaint and charming as hers.
With her all-natural rebrand in recent years, former Canadian-American actress and model Pamela Anderson has turned her home into a sanctuary, the place where she celebrates moments of calm when she can be her most authentic self.
At a loose end in 2020 when the pandemic hit, the star returned to Ladysmith, Vancouver Island, where she was raised, and to the 100-year-old farmhouse which was once her childhood home.
Since then, the former Baywatch star has poured hours into reviving her grandparents’ old home and vegetable garden, as documented in the series Pamela Anderson’s Family Home Renovation (or Pamela's Garden Of Eden in the United States). She has also reconnected with nature and revelled in discovering new farm-to-table recipes, which she shared in her first cookbook, I Love You: Recipes from the heart.
Her kitchen features an appropriately pared-back, rustic look, with whitewashed walls, open shelving and a neutral colour palette for a finish that is decidedly farmhouse chic.
One of the most celebrated chefs and cookbook writers around, Ina Garten is known for her countless books, her specialty food store, and her former Food Network show, which all ran under the distinctive banner of ‘Barefoot Contessa.’

Author, restaurateur and award-winning TV presenter Guy Fieri dropped $7.3 million (£5.6m) on a five-bed, five-bath waterfront estate in Palm Beach’s Singer Island in 2023.

In addition to her prolific acting career, Reese Witherspoon has long been hailed as a style guru thanks to her clothing brand, Draper James, and her seemingly effortless domestic aesthetic. A Southern Belle through and through who prides herself on the Southern values of being a gracious hostess, Reese takes tremendous pride in all her beautiful houses, which range from LA to Nashville.
The star regularly shares glimpses of her dreamy home life on her Instagram, including these snaps which display a tantalising glimpse of powder blue cabinetry, white marble countertops and beautiful brass fittings.
In November 2017, American actor and producer, Eva Longoria, paid $13.5 million (£11m) for a dreamy mansion in Beverly Hills. Sprawling more than 11,000 square feet (1,022sqm), the property boasts three luxurious kitchens – the main culinary space, a separate staff kitchen and an outdoor kitchen for alfresco cooking.
The principal kitchen dazzles with sleek, handless grey units and a dramatic white peninsula that accommodates a breakfast bar and preparation zone. A keen cook, the former Desperate Housewives star regularly posts photos and videos on Instagram, whipping up dishes for her family or shaking cocktails. The actor also has her very own cookbook, Eva's Kitchen: Cooking with Love for Family and Friends.
Also no stranger to lavish abodes, singer and actor Jennifer Lopez owns her fair share of stunning homes, including a gorgeous mansion in Bel Air.
The home features a large family kitchen, which is a great social space for the Lopez family, as highlighted in these stills from a video J.Lo posted on Instagram for Halloween 2021. In the hilarious clip, the singer struggles to make chocolate-covered popsicles with her twins, Max and Emme.
The light-filled kitchen as seen in Carolwood Estates tour is certainly the heart of the home and features white cabinetry, a dramatic atrium roof lantern and a long central island. The star bought the mansion in August 2016 for $28 million (£22m), making it one of her most enduring property investments.
Built in 1940, the 14,000-square-foot (1,300sqm) home was designed by architect Samuel Marx and comes with its own pub, two guest cottages, an amphitheatre with seating for 100 people, a wood-panelled library and a massage room.
Almost two years after they tied the knot, Hailey and Justin Bieber snapped up this home in the Beverly Park area of Los Angeles, featuring a sleek white and grey kitchen. A keen cook, Hailey Bieber regularly takes to Instagram to share photos of herself at home, especially during pizza night, which takes place in the Bieber home once a month.
For Thanksgiving 2020, Hailey even shared a snap of the turkey she'd lovingly prepared for her family. Framed by statement glass pendant lights, the culinary heart of the home includes silver subway tiles, state-of-the-art appliances and a large preparation island, complete with a sociable breakfast bar.
Over the years, retired NBA icon Shaquille O'Neal has bought and sold an array of luxurious homes across America – including this mega-mansion just outside Orlando, Florida. Shaq bought the residence in the 1990s for just under $4 million (£3.3m) and sold up in October 2021 for $11 million (£9m).
The home's kitchen was a key hang-out spot for his family, and Shaq regularly posted on social media to share videos of himself cooking, relaxing or hanging out with his family in the space. A keen chef, the culinary heart of Shaq's former home is decked out with commercial-grade appliances, a vast refrigerator, a black central island and contrasting white cabinetry.
In early 2019, movie star Jennifer Garner began renting a Pacific Palisades mansion while undertaking extensive renovations to her new rundown cottage in Brentwood Park, LA. The rental features this modern, farmhouse-inspired kitchen, where during lockdown the 13 Going on 30 star baked cookies and delivered them to the doctors and nurses battling the Covid-19 pandemic in South California.

While Chrissy Teigan and John Legend have moved their family a fair few times, they currently reside in what Architectural Digest dubbed their ‘loving family home.’
The super-star couple acquired the airy new Beverly Hills residence in 2023, having parted with their former seven-bed, eight-bath mansion once owned by Rihanna the previous year. Chrissy regularly takes to Instagram to showcase the beautiful space, which often serves as a backdrop for her cooking videos.
Chrissy has released a number of cookbooks and even has her own kitchenware range at Target, so we always knew she’d have a beautiful space to practice in. The bright kitchen as featured in Architectural Digest's tour, comes with a huge white marble central island, stunning white marble walls, a circular breakfast banquette, bespoke storage units and dual ovens.
After rising to fame on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian Barker has amassed a desirable property portfolio.
In November 2021, Kourtney gave her fans a sneak peek of her modern and sleek Calabasas kitchen as she shared coveted Kardashian/Jenner Thanksgiving recipes with her friend, Sam Hyatt, as seen in this Poosh video.
Since dating Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, who she married in May 2022, the reality star has been splitting her time between her homes in Santa Barbara and Calabasas. In May 2022, Travis invited Architectural Digest round for a tour. The modern and minimalist home was given a thorough makeover, courtesy of Los Angeles interior designer Waldo Fernandez, who was referred to Barker by his mother-in-law, Kris Jenner.
The kitchen has to be one of the home's most inspiring spaces, thanks to its monochrome colour palette, panelled walls, Sub-Zero & Wolf appliances and designer pendant lights.
After selling his former home to movie mega-star Leonardo DiCaprio, actor Jesse Tyler Ferguson upgraded to a truly stunning modern mansion in the Encino neighbourhood of LA in 2021, and it's safe to say his new kitchen will be well used.
Jesse has also released his very own cookbook, Food Between Friends, with recipe developer Julie Tanous, so it's really no wonder the TV star knows a thing or two about interior design, and what it takes to create a gorgeous kitchen.
Seen in this Architectural Digest tour, Jesse's kitchen has a distinctly Scandi vibe, featuring streamlined, light wood cabinetry and a stunning pine-clad ceiling. The marble splashback is home to open shelving, while the centre island offers extra space to prep delicious meals.

In 2019, rapper Swizz Beatz and his wife, Grammy Award-winning singer Alicia Keys, snapped up one of the most unusual celebrity homes we've ever seen. Known as Razor House, the pad was designed by architect Wallace E. Cunningham and completed in 2007.
Both stars regularly share images of their home online, but Swizz is certainly the more candid of the two. While the image on the left shows the couple giving a guided tour of their home, the one on the right shows their youngest son, Genesis, attempting to steal muffins. Strip lighting illuminates the industrial-inspired space, highlighting the exposed concrete walls.
Shortly before selling her stylish Toluca Lake estate, pop star Meghan Trainor put down $6.6 million (£5.4m) for a 9,936-square-foot (923sqm) mansion in the LA neighbourhood of Encino in 2020. The perfect family home for Meghan, her husband Daryl Sabara and their sons Riley and Barry, the residence has six bedrooms, eight bathrooms, and, of course, an impressive kitchen – which features high-end appliances, marble counters and endless storage space.
Decked out in white and dark grey cabinetry, the space dazzles with a large range cooker and a glittering waterfall-style pendant light above the centre island.
Ahead of his Manchester United return, Portuguese professional footballer Cristiano Ronaldo bought a multimillion-dollar mansion in Cheshire, UK, just down the road from Old Trafford Stadium, where he lived with his partner, Georgina Rodríguez, and their five children until he left the team in 2022.
The football icon regularly takes to social media to share glimpses of his home life with his 651 million Instagram followers – in fact, he's the most-followed individual on Instagram, even surpassing every member of the Kardashian clan.
The luxurious rural home, which Ronaldo has been attempting to sell for several years, offers seven bedrooms, six bathrooms, 23 acres (9.3ha) of exterior land, a cinema room, indoor swimming pool and gym, not to mention a striking modern kitchen.
The space has concrete counters, rich wooden cabinets and plenty of built-in storage, including a wine cooler. An industrial-style light fixture with exposed Edison bulbs frames the breakfast bar, while an exposed brick wall adds to the warehouse vibes.
Pop star and actor Selena Gomez is no stranger to luxurious homes. She's bought and sold a staggering amount of properties over the years, including a colossal mansion in the Encino neighbourhood of Los Angeles, which she snapped up in April 2020 for $4.9 million (£3.8m).
