Jennifer Garner has given fans a closer look inside her serene Westside Los Angeles farmhouse, which she built for herself and her three children. The October cover story of Architectural Digest provides an in-depth tour of the actor's cheerful and rustic home, which was designed to reflect her personality and childhood memories.
Garner, who has shared glimpses of the home on social media over the years, collaborated with Steve and Brooke Giannetti, known for their expertise in creating light-filled spaces that integrate with nature, to bring her vision to life. The house was designed with the goal of balancing a sense of historic charm with practicality for a large family. Garner explained that while she wanted privacy, she also desired a space that felt warm and lived-in, rather than grand and formal.
The result is a cozy, welcoming environment featuring natural materials and neutral tones, highlighted by antique and repurposed furniture. The kitchen's exposed wood beams, brass chandeliers, and marble countertops contribute to the farmhouse aesthetic, while the home's airy spaces allow for a strong connection with the outdoors. Large windows overlook the lush garden and tranquil pool, offering a peaceful retreat within the bustling city.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the house is designed for functionality. Garner's children, ranging in age from pre-teens to teenagers, use every corner of the home, from the living room to the dining room, where they often do homework. This thoughtful approach to design reflects Garner's desire for the space to be comfortable and accommodating for her active family.
Perhaps the most sentimental feature of the home is the stained-glass windows in the study, inspired by the family's favorite children's book, All the World by Marla Freeze. Created by the author's son, Reed Bradley, the windows incorporate symbols representing Garner's children and even their dog, Birdie, adding a personal touch that makes the home uniquely theirs.
