That spa is bigger than my first condo - are you kidding? Maybe you don't like it because its underground?

It’s dark and creepy. Needs much better lighting.

I’m sure THAT would be relaxing. The natural light coming from overhead was very pretty. Soothing. I don’t get the creepy bit at all. It’s not a locker room.

It just feels so excessive and unlivable to me. It’s a museum dedicated to show piecing her wealth, not a home.

I respect the house.

I wouldn't go with this particular design, but that's me. I still respect the house and the quality of the interior decoration. Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't live like how most of us do. It's a rarified world and it's just different. It's the modern version of the very formal, very precise, and utterly beautiful state apartments in European palaces. They're not meant to be comfortable and easygoing places. It's not the point.

I don’t know, a swinging hammock next to a wall of glass doors?

Did you watch the video? She specifically picked the dining room table so that kids can spill pasta on it/guests can spill wine on it and it just wipes right off! So relatable.

Is it the photos or the design where they somehow have huge windows but not the feeling of natural light.

I live in a tiny end unit row house so am not poo poo-ing ... but we have more plants and sunshine

yes, the house - except for the dining room - is dark despite the windows. i forgot but living room windows might be only on one side and the room is huge.

I think the photographer deliberately made some of the photos feel darker, or shot at a low-light time of day on purpose. You can see in the living room that the bar has sort of a golden, moody hue in the still photo, but in the video it’s brightly lit with natural day light.

DP here, I'm not a Gwyneth hater but "relatable" just isn't a word I'd use to describe her.

Whoever put the ocre and "avant guard" squares over her fireplace, is my favorite person. Did anti-glare glass blur it in the video?
