Dakota Johnson's Serene Hollywood Home — Light, Wood, and Crystals
A calm, wood-forward house that landed Dakota five years ago and became the first one she bought.
It reads as a collection of things she loves: big windows, green paint, vintage furniture, and pockets of surprise.
Welcome & First Impressions — The Living Room
The living room is the obvious gathering spot and the heart of the house.
Seats are limited, so everyone ends up here to hang out and read.
The furniture is vintage and the original couches were recovered in crushed mohair.
A heavy table came with the house and has a bamboo base at the bottom.
An antique Wurlitzer piano lives in the room; she plays, she says, "like badly".
The Office — Built-In Bookshelves and Personal Objects
The office is where scripts are read, meetings happen, and distractions win.
The built-in bookshelves were added into the walls and groaned under the weight of her collection.
She admits she often doesn't get much work done because there's so much to look at in there .
Some books were sent by Patti Smith and include handwritten notes from her.
Small objects pepper the shelves, from a wax mushroom to playful awards and odd piles of books.
A favorite Polaroid and photography pieces add personal narrative among the spines.
Dining Room & Decorative Finds — Crystals and a Disappearing Table
The dining room was made to feel small and airy so the table would appear to disappear into the room.
They designed and had the table made to protect the rug and the light in the compact space.
The chairs are sculptural and "look like little humans," a detail she adores.
She found at least one piece on 1stdibs and leans into tactile, idiosyncratic finds.
Crystals sit around the room—one even encases a dandelion—and a large specimen presides in the corner.
She says the big crystal projects "good vibes" into the house and at people.
Kitchen Rituals — Green Paint, Dishes, and Tea
The kitchen is a small, painted room that leans into green, a color she loves.
She'd tried green before in another life and calls this iteration the one she finally "got right".
Cooking and baking are regular rituals here; she cooks and bakes a lot.
She displays and loves limes, arranging them as a small decorative moment in the space.
Dishes filled a cabinet she never expected to collect, with special pieces she rarely uses because they're "too cool".
A rack intended for teacups makes the cabinet feel curated and meaningful.
Outside — Pool, Citrus Trees, and Outdoor Furniture
Outside feels deliberate but slightly wild—there's a heated pool and citrus-bearing trees.
A table and chairs by the patio were made from the wood of Winston Churchill's yacht, a detail she calls "the coolest".
Those chairs fit the table perfectly, though they wobble, and the paving slabs have cracks that make seating awkward.
She planted a tree when she moved in that yielded "whoppers of lemons," and another tree offers perfectly placed oranges.
An intended herb bed became a patch of unexpected wild growth and weeds that she now reads differently.
Outdoor furniture arrived recently to soften what she felt could skew masculine inside the house.
Small Details That Tell the Story — Records, Photos, and Pets
Her record collection was alphabetized and sparks obvious delight—right now she's spinning "Ram" by Paul McCartney.
She treasures particular albums and the tactile pleasure of vinyl in the living room rotation.
A Polaroid of Hunter S. Thompson anchors memory and family ties on a shelf.
And a personal, bittersweet marker: her cat Chicken is buried on the property, a detail she mentions with a soft, strange humor.
