- Hi, AD, I'm Nicole Scherzinger and welcome to my house.
[giggles] [upbeat music]
I've been living in this house for not even two years now.
I bought this house because when I walked in it,
I saw this beautiful view
'cause I wanted a house with a view overlooking Los Angeles.
But when I bought it,
there was a huge wall here
and there was a little tiny sliding door there
and a window over here.
And I wanted people to be able to see the view
as soon as they walked in.
So I opened everything up so it just feels
like a big, nice open living area.
My house is split into four levels
but this is primarily my main level.
When I took down that wall,
I needed storage space
so I built all of the storage over here.
I'm very particular about woods [sighs]
and grains of woods and stains of woods.
So I made sure to get this exactly right how I wanted it
and I'm very particular about marbles.
This is a particular Calacatta.
It kind of looked like a hummingbird when I found it
and I put a massive island in.
I knew that I wanted another elevated piece of wood here
for the island to add another texture.
The chairs are essential,
they swivel and they're soft leather, ski-ska.
When you're entertaining or you're having dinner,
you can enjoy the view and your friends
so it's a big fun area.
I really love this piece.
This is a charred big maple leaf wood,
one whole slab with anodized Xs, bronze detail.
And I designed this with Uhuru,
one of my favorite companies out of Brooklyn.
I love it because you could see
all the movement and the grains of the wood.
And I know that live edge is pretty cool
but I wanted to make it a little bit more modern
so I kept the natural live edge,
but I wanted to make the ends square and clean.
It's nice and thick and it's hella heavy
and it's just a stunning piece that I love Uhuru,
shout out, hello.
[upbeat music]
I love arts and I love collaborating with artists
so a lot of the artwork in my house
is actually commissioned artwork. [chuckles]
As another artist and slight control-freak,
I'm like, let's build something together.
But this particular piece is my favorite piece.
It's a pretty classic Retna.
If you look at the detail,
there's actually a slice through the painting.
I contacted him and I said, "What happened?"
And it's beautiful
because his mother actually sewed it together
so I just love it and it kind of represents
how moms always put things back together.
And I know my mom is my everything.
And it just is the pride of place artwork of the home.
This is my den and this is probably my favorite room
in the house because it's so cozy.
These couches, you could just sink into them forever.
This is where I chill out and relax
and hang out with my girls or my family
and just talk and drink wine and watch the sunset
because the view is amazing.
When I built this den,
I wanted to make sure I had bookshelves
'cause I feel like bookshelves
just add so much more warmth to the room.
I mean, obviously, you've got to have books
and you have pictures.
But on the very top shelf up there,
it's a reflection of my heritage.
It's actually my mother's uli'ulis,
the red feather ones, they're, I don't know,
like Hawaiian maracas that you dance with
and you do Tahitian with.
And then you have an ipu, a Hawaiian instrument
made out of dried squash that you pound on the ground
and make a beat and a rhythm.
I love this room because I wanted it to feel
just very warm and inviting and cozy.
When it's cold, I put on the fire and open the pocket doors,
watch the sunset and I have wine.
I think it's really special.
[upbeat music]
Anyone who knows me
knows that I'm an extremely private person,
but you guys are gonna get a sneak peek into my bedrooms,
so come on up.
Before we go into my bedroom, we're gonna make a pit stop.
This is obviously where my piano is.
I chose this because I'm really up high here
and it has a beautiful view.
And obviously I love music.
It's my everything.
This is just a really great place to play piano,
play around with ideas and to sing
and prepare my material and songs and to just let go.
This actually,
it's so weird, 'cause I never see this, [chuckles]
is a big part of who I am.
Whitney Houston was my idol growing up,
and this album changed my life.
It's the reason why I sing.
[upbeat music]
So just off the piano room is my bedroom.
I have like three different comforters on my bed
because I get very cold at night [chuckles]
and kind of have a problem sleeping sometimes.
Weighted blankets on you help you to sleep,
it makes you feel like you're in the womb,
kind of weird fact.
Maybe it will help someone out there.
I actually grew up in a really small house.
So I feel the most comfortable
sleeping in small bedrooms and small spaces.
So I wanted it to feel like a nook and just really cozy
and there's nooks on either sides with outlets and stuff
to charge your phone.
I wanted my headboard really tall and dramatic
and this is one of my favorite color
and I feel like it's such a rich beautiful color
and that's made of vintage velvet.
And I loved keeping things really modern
and classic and clean,
but then adding a touch of the tuft nails on the edge
so it still feels like warm and a bit traditional.
There is kind of a running theme within my house
with grays, organic neutrals, keeping things really clean
or having a little bit of contrast
like my fireplace right here.
This is a special marble that I found
and I just love the subtle movement within the marble.
[upbeat music]
Probably the best part about my bedroom
is this big old fat, juicy, yummy balcony.
I feel literally like I'm on top of the world.
When people come over they say
the higher you are up on the hills,
the closer you are to heaven.
So, I feel like I'm up in the clouds up here.
This is my bathroom.
I wanted it very white and clean.
I put in Calacatta marble floors.
My tub, it's great, it's nice and big.
I open up my doors at night.
The whole city twinkles.
I feel the breeze.
I pretty much live in here.
It's my marble steam shower.
I love, love, love steam showers.
They make me really happy and they're good for my voice
when I'm getting my voice all warmed up, ready to sing.
I decided that I needed one area to wash my face,
skin care, all that jazz.
Then I needed another area where I could just sit down,
do my face and my hair, so that's where you come over here.
And it's a full glam area.
It's awesome.
Plus, I'm too lazy, I gotta sit down, do my makeup in here.
This is my theater.
I designed it to just be
like a little hidden cave.
It's just such a great place for my family and friends
to just go and hide away.
When you're watching movies, lights are out,
so we have little theater lights
so you can see where you're going.
I don't really like theater chairs.
I'm like, if you're at home and you're watching movies,
who wants to be in a chair even if it reclines?
Why not be in like a big sofa bed?
So every single tier has a big sofa bed
and for all you long humans out there,
all of my couches I've designed to be seven feet deep
so you can fully get all up in here
and just like...
So in this theater,
I actually have movies that I've either done,
been a part of or movies that inspire me.
I've done Men in Black 3.
I die really early in the beginning
so if you go to the bathroom or you sneeze,
then you'll miss me.
I've done Dirty Dancing, done Moana.
What's up, you looking at Moana's mom's scene over here.
Purple Rain inspires me so much.
These are either musicals,
I've either been a part of or I'm a fan of.
And everyone who comes into this theater,
I make them run and jump up here and just sink
and then, it's like, it's just so good.
This room is like a big ole hug [chuckles]
or like a big ole cave hug.
This is one of my guest rooms
and I love this bed in particular.
This bed is actually called a cloud bed.
I laced it with some Italian linen.
A lot of times when you go to other people's homes
and if you're staying there sometimes,
you like, knock your shin and stuff on the wooden beds,
but this bed is actually really soft.
As you could tell, I wanted it very monochromatic
and to keep it really simple and clean.
All of my balconies pocket the house
so every room actually has a view
and has its own unique view of Los Angeles.
On a clear day, you can see all the way
from downtown to the beach.
[upbeat music]
This is my plaque wall.
It's a bit hidden,
not many people see this area of my house.
I do have it up because it does make me appreciate
some of the accomplishments.
A lot of people know me for the Dolls
and I loved my time with the girls
and especially the touring around the world.
But a lot of people who do know me
know that I'm a such theater nerd.
I love theater.
I go to the theater anytime I can.
I love musical theater.
And probably one of things I'm the most proud of is actually
when I played Grizabella in Cats at the London Palladium.
Yeah, one of my proudest moments,
I don't use that word very often, proud,
but it was a very proud moment,
and I was casually nominated for an Olivier. [chuckles]
This is my indoor-outdoor lounge.
I designed this space for entertainment.
I'm not home very often,
but when I am home, I like to stay home [chuckles]
and have a few friends over and barbecue.
I always want everything in my house
to be very clean and chic but at the same time,
I want everything to be really comfy.
This is just a really great area to sink in
and watch movies at night as you gaze at the city.
As I mentioned, I'm all about comfort
so that's why I created these custom-made lounges,
kind of like lounge beds
'cause I like to sprawl out when I'm laying out
and hanging out with my girlfriends.
And over here, we are featuring the world's smallest pool.
Ta-da! [chuckles]
I live on a hill as you can see.
So I went to the ends of the earth
just to create this little baby, okay.
It's actually six feet deep, it's saltwater.
It heats up to 100 degrees.
On a hot day, you can dip in and at night,
it's nice to get in and it's like glorified jacuzzi.
Okay, no Scherzinger house is complete without a swing.
I knew building this house I had to put a swing somewhere,
and what better place with this view
outside with my baby pool.
This is my happy place
and it's where I just swing all my cares away literally,
all above Los Angeles, the city of angels.
[upbeat music]
All right, AD, thank you so much for coming.
I hope you enjoyed the tour,
but I'm about to have a screening party for my premiere,
so you got to get on out of here, bye! [smacks lips]
