Inside the stylish spaces where our favourite stars cook

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's streamlined Calabasas kitchen

After rising to fame on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian Barker has amassed a property portfolio worth $20 million (£16m). 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 Palm Springs and Calabasas. The couple spent New Year's Eve at Travis's Calabasas pad, where they now live together. Kourtney shared this snap of them in the kitchen enjoying a glass of fizz as they rang in 2022.

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.
Jennifer Lopez's traditional Bel Air kitchen

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 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 (£23m), making it one of her most enduring property investments. Built in 1940, the 14,000-square-foot 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.
Hailey and Justin Bieber's monochrome Beverly Park kitchen

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, the famous supermodel even shared a snap of the turkey she'd lovingly prepared for her family.

Shaquille O'Neal's Orlando family kitchen

Property fans may already know that iconic sports star Shaquille O'Neal is somewhat of a property mogul. Over the years, the retired NBA player 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 took to social media to share videos of himself cooking, relaxing or hanging out with his family in the space.
