"Diane von Furstenberg, Matt Damon, Seth Meyers, and Others Pick Their Home's Best-Designed Rooms\nDiane von Furstenberg, Matt Damon, Seth Meyers, Samuel L. Jackson, Jeremy Piven, and Kate Bosworth pick their home's best-designed spaces\nWhile she recently won an Oscar for her emotion-charged role as Fantine in Les Mis\u00E9rables, at the National Board of Review Awards, Anne Hathaway suggested that she doesn't yet believe she deserves any accolades for interior design. \"My house is a disaster,\" she said. \"In L.A., I've got a pretty decent living room, though. At the moment it's unfinished, but I'm heading toward cozy minimalism\u2014kind of sort of French modern.\"\nHome doesn't always feel homey, especially when you didn't get to design it yourself. At the New York Film Critics Circle Awards, actress Rachel Weisz, seen here with her husband, Daniel Craig, claimed to be between houses at the time and didn't feel that any of the rooms truly expressed her sensibilities. \"I'm in a rental right now,\" answered Weisz. \"I didn't design it. It's very nice, but it was designed by somebody else for somebody else.\"\n\nWeisz and Craig at the Golden Globes.\nMatt Damon, cowriter and costar of Promised Land, told AD at the film's debut that he is proudest of a room he created pre-marriage and pre-kids. \"I turned my basement, before I met my wife, into my kind of dream location,\" he said. \"It's a total man cave\u2014there's a big screen, a gym, and a little video area. It's really gorgeous.\"\n\nDamon at the Made In NY Awards.\nJust before curtain time at the Manhattan debut of Les Mis, actor Hugh Jackman was practically trotting for the entrance of the Ziegfeld Theatre when we caught him. \"The Richard Meier staircase,\" he thoughtfully called out before ducking inside, referring to the spiral staircase in his double-height, Meier-designed living room. Formidable!\n\nJackman at the BAFTA tea party in Los Angeles.\n\"The kitchen,\" said actress Kate Bosworth at a Target + Neiman Marcus event. \"It's open and great for entertaining. I feel like people flock to the kitchen anyway. I love to cook. It's a '50s modern ranch . . . you know . . . warm.\"\nMarchesa designer Georgina Chapman, married to Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, spoke to AD on her way into the Museum of Modern Art to honor Quentin Tarantino. \"I think our kitchen works really well as a family room,\" she said. \"It is actually a big, open space, so the family never gets separated. We're always together. It's a mix of modern and functional, and there is space for everybody.\nWe're not certain that a pool counts as a room, but since the charming actor John Krasinski nominated his, we stretched the rules. At the debut of Promised Land he discussed his rather green house. \"We have a home that is now run on solar power and has well water. There have been incredible leaps in technology,\" he said. \"And the pool is completely heated by solar power, so that is really fun.\"\nGreat art can also make a space. At a Calvin Klein screening of The Impossible, supermodel Constance Jablonski picked her living room. \"I love Joan Mir\u00F3, and I have a Mir\u00F3 painting that I got in France. The room is partly modern, and there is a lot of wood. And a little touch of the Orient and Morocco.\"\nAt the New York premiere of his film Django Unchained, actor Samuel L. Jackson was very enthusiastic about the design of his favorite room. \"My bathroom is awesome,\" he said. \"I have a steam room, an overhead rain shower. I have spouts that come out of my shower in every direction. I have a big flat-screen television, a chair, a daybed, and even a Japanese toilet that opens up when I walk into the room.\" Standing ovation.\n\"My bedroom,\" answered fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg at the Target + Neiman Marcus event. \"It's not the look that matters, it's the bed. It's the quality of the sheets and the mattress.\"\n\nVon Furstenberg at the CFDA Vogue Fashion Fund Awards.\n\nSee Diane von Furstenberg's glamorous New York penthouse.\n\"I would say my office area,\" offered actress Allison Williams of Girls also at Target + Neiman. \"I like rooms that are intuitive and simple. And I have this area behind my desk where there is a beautiful bookshelf. And it is very functional, because I can just swivel around and grab anything off the shelf.\"\nOn the red carpet at the Golden Globes, wearing a strapless Armani gown with oversize beading, actress Olivia Munn singled out her fireplace room. \"I have a 110-inch projection screen that comes down and a life-size Yoda that was used in the actual Star Wars. There were 120 of them made, and it's so great\u2014it's like owning Harrison Ford.\"\nAt the New York debut of Skyfall, Seth Meyers and his girlfriend, Alexi Ashe, described his living room as enormously livable. \"Our living room is the success,\" he said. \"People always want to crowd into kitchens, and we've got a great design where the kitchen opens up into the living room. And they wouldn't let me put a TV in the living room. And it's really nice, because there isn't one.\"\nAt the Target + Neiman Marcus event, model and activist Lauren Bush Lauren described her new living room with husband David Lauren (Ralph Lauren's son; she moved in after David had decorated) as the most successful in their new home. \"It's a very open floor plan,\" she said. \"It's a kitchen\u2013living room\u2013dining room. And there are both modern elements and antique. It's beautiful!\"\nAt the New York premiere of Les Mis\u00E9rables, we caught up with actress-model Bridget Moynahan, whose thoughts immediately turned to food. \"The dining room, because I love to eat,\" she said. \"It's sleek and modern, with a beautiful chandelier. Very clean, but organic.\"\n\nMoynahan at the New York Film Festival.\nAfter the premiere of her film Playing for Keeps, we encountered actress Judy Greer, in the sprawling, hip Ph-D Rooftop Lounge at the Dream Downtown hotel. \"Scott Mangan and Nick Bianco at Rubbish Interiors in Los Angeles decorated my house, and every room is so beautiful\u2014but I'm very partial to my TV room, because of the brown grass-cloth wallpaper,\" she said. \"There's a very light blue, super-shaggy rug, a beautiful red tweed couch, and they did a collage of all these little pieces of art handed down in my family, a cross-stitch my mom did, a picture of my dog.\"\nIn the basement of the Hudson Hotel for an event hosted by designer Nanette Lepore, DJ Alexandra Richards, seen here with actress Shay Mitchell, told AD she was off to Parrot Cay, Turks and Caicos, the next day to meet up with her parents, Rolling Stone Keith Richards and Patti Hansen. And as one might expect, her New York pad apparently has a breezy, island feel. \"I guess right now it has to be the living room\u2014I just set up my DJ turntables in there,\" she said, preparing to spin her next song as we spoke. \"So when people come over, we put records on. It's beachy, a lot of tan and leopard-print pillows. And a palm tree.\"\nAt the New York debut of The Impossible, Calvin Klein designer Francisco Costa, seen here with actress Naomi Watts, chose his library. \"Because that's where I spend most of my time,\" he said. \"The walls are a great green shade. And I designed this one couch based on a sofa by Kaare Klint, the Danish designer. The lights are perfect. I have my pictures in there and all my great books.\"\n\"Sunroom,\" said actress Zoe Saldana at Target + Neiman Marcus. \"Because I really decorated it. And I have some Frida Kahlo artwork that I've collected.\"\nAt the annual UNICEF Snowflake Ball, actor Mark Consuelos didn't hesitate to mention his bedroom. \"Yes, it's very successful. We're very happy there. The style is chic, Indonesian vacation. And there may or may not be a bed from Bali in there,\" he said. \"And it may or may not have broken once,\" added Kelly Ripa, his wife, with a smile, to throw this reporter off balance. \"So take that!\"\n\"My den,\" answered model and actress Molly Sims at the Women in Film pre-Oscar cocktail party at Fig &amp;amp; Olive. \"Because it has an amazing Damien Hirst in it.\"\n\nSims at a Carolina Herrera fashion show.\n\"I got a place about a year ago,\" shot back actor Jeremy Piven, at MoMA for the premiere of Stand Up Guys. \"What they did, prior to me being in it, was to take the floor separating the two levels and make it one big, open, airy room. And there is really nothing like high ceilings. It just makes the space so incredibly huge. Anything looks good in there.\"\n\"I wish you would ask me this question in May,\" actress Julianna Margulies said at the debut of her film Stand Up Guys at the Museum of Modern Art. \"Because next month, Vicente Wolf is redoing my place. It's a loft I bought when I was a single girl, and now I have a husband and a baby and it's time for a redo. As much as I wish I could have done it myself, I think he's much better.\"\n\"My kitchen,\" noted Jessica Seinfeld, seen here with her husband Jerry Seinfeld, at a fundraiser for her charity, Baby Buggy, at Alice + Olivia. \"A New York kitchen is not huge, and I wanted it to be a place for my family to sit and eat. The table is bolted into the ground because we worked with [the late architect] Charlie Gwathmey. And he had a very specific point of view. It was an unbelievable experience to work with him.\"\nHe may have left his heart in San Francisco some decades back, but legendary crooner Tony Bennett apparently still loves his Manhattan living room best. At the Target anniversary f\u00EAte at an endless loft in West Chelsea, Bennett told AD, \"It overlooks all of Central Park, from Central Park South all the way up to Harlem. Oh, it's very nice. And it has a Japanese motif.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
