Are you looking for some home inspiration while staying on a budget? Diane Pham, Managing Editor of CityRealty’s Market Insight report, has provided four celebrity styles that you can steal for your own home that won’t break the bank!

In many ways buying a home is a two-step process: First you’ve got to find the home of your dreams, and then you’ve got to fill it up with stuff. For many, the latter will prove to be both an exciting and excruciating task, particularly as a tight budget can often mean sacrificing on style.

But this is the age of the internet, and living fabulously no longer means spending hundreds of thousands of dollars—or even hiring an interior designer. With countless retailers just a mouse-click away, creating a chic celeb-worthy home has never been easier.

For the money-minded looking for star inspiration, we’ve recreated four rooms belonging to four bold-faced names, with items easily purchased online.

1. Gwyneth Paltrow’s Living Room



Described as a home filled with “fuzzy nap zones” and “artisanal” details, Gwyneth Paltrow’s stunning $14.5 million Tribeca penthouse is certainly a space we’d love to curl up in. To recreate this look we stuck to whites, soft fabrics and items that are clean and sophisticated but a little whimsical.

Swingasan hanging chair, Pier 1. $379

Fuzzy chair, Urban Outfitters. $498

Shag rug, West Elm. $239 – $879

Tulip side table, West Elm. $129

Square coffee table, IKEA. $129

Glass bud vase, Overstock. $22.89

2. Bethenny Frankel’s Dining Room



Bethenny Frankel’s $7 million loft is exactly what you’d expect it to look like: vibrant, modern and thoroughly elegant. In her beautiful dining room, gold and brass elevate mid-century modern wood pieces, while abstract art keeps the room from feeling too serious. We focused on these details to mirror her style.

Dining chairs, set of four, from Chairish.com. $750

Mid-century-style walnut dining table, Target. $499

Sputnik hanging lamp, Etsy. $350

Brass candle stick holders, Etsy. $92

Sideboard, IKEA. $249

Accent lamps, Target. $51

Abstract art print, Society6. $47

3. Meg Ryan’s Kitchen



Meg Ryan’s home channels a modern-rustic aesthetic that’s both cozy and chic at once. According to Architectural Digest, many of the pieces in her kitchen are one-offs. But when it comes down to it, it really just takes a few key items to recreate Ryan’s look. Invest in a couple of those key pieces—e.g. the lamp and table—and complement those with everyday wares in one or two natural hues.

Barnwood dining table, The Classy Home. $482

Heavy ceramic cups and dinnerware, and wine glasses, Fishs Eddy. $4 and up

Oil rubbed bronze pendant lamp, com. $160

Rustic lettering, Pottery Barn. $29

Table vases and decor, IKEA. $9-30

4. Sarah Jessica Parker’s Bedroom

While Carrie Bradshaw’s style may be eclectic, actress Sarah Jessica Parker prefers a more subdued, classic look. In her bedroom she opts for a neutral color palette, sensual fabrics and beautiful woods to create a crisp, airy and elegant atmosphere.

Canopy bed, Overstock. $250

Tufted velvet sofa, Urban Outfitters. $1398

Wood and metal nesting coffee tables, Casa Gear. $126

Oriental-style area rug, Rug Studio. $129-600

Solid walnut wood arm chairs, Countryside Amish Furniture. $191 each
