When Hollywood’s most recognizable blonde steps away from the camera, her Los Angeles home reveals an unexpected narrative—one where sophisticated design choices mask subtle jabs at celebrity culture itself. Margot Robbie‘s interior spaces blend dramatic aesthetics with carefully orchestrated humor, creating environments that simultaneously cultivate and satirize Tinseltown’s excesses.
The actress’s living area features a navy swing suspended near an elegant marble fireplace, transforming what could be a stuffy formal space into something unexpectedly whimsical. This playful element pairs with circular sofas that depart from conventional furniture arrangements, suggesting movement and conversation rather than rigid formality. Her boutique wine cellar serves dual purposes, functioning as both a luxury amenity and a knowing wink at Hollywood’s indulgent lifestyle tropes. Additionally, the use of personalized design reflects a broader trend where homeowners seek to express their identities through their spaces.
Color becomes another vehicle for Robbie’s design humor. Bold blue and white palettes throughout the home evoke beachy cheerfulness reminiscent of her “Barbie” film’s dreamhouse aesthetic, while metallic accents contrasted against traditional paneled walls create deliberate tension. The main suite employs what designers might call “dreamy” tones—airy woods and soft hues that almost parody celebrity home escapism. Marble, typically signaling excess, appears alongside everyday objects in arrangements that challenge expectations.

Perhaps most telling is how Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment offices occupy a former fish shop, embodying Hollywood’s obsession with transformation narratives. The workspace deliberately contrasts corporate sterility with residential comfort, featuring a conference room styled like a home dining area and screening facilities that feel more cozy den than private cinema. The office’s centerpiece includes bright pink chairs from the Barbie movie, originally used by Will Ferrell and Mattel executives in boardroom scenes, now reupholstered in rusty orange checkered fabric. A conference table with a distinctive pinkish hue serves as a celebratory nod to the film’s billion-dollar success, turning every meeting into a subtle reminder of Hollywood’s commercial victories. These choices reflect what interior designer Sarah Sherman Samuel calls “intentional irony in high-end spaces.”
Throughout both properties, statement pieces tell inside jokes. Retained “Barbie” movie props valued in the thousands sit alongside mass-market finds, while retro art references past cinematic eras. The rooftop terrace signals glamour yet remains surprisingly practical.
Even the dedicated pet room acknowledges Hollywood’s animal obsession with self-aware humor. These elements combine to create spaces that appear dramatically sophisticated while subtly questioning the very culture that inspired them, proving that sometimes the best design doesn’t take itself too seriously.
