I’m usually pretty envious of celebrity homes, as they have top of the line furniture that retails for thousands, original art pieces and gorgeous homes to display it all. They hire interior decorators to plan it all out with small details that make a difference, and the result is often perfect-looking. I love modern furniture and art, and am envious of Kanye West’s art and Paris Hilton’s Eames La Chaise chair, which retails for nearly $10,000 and sits, mostly unused, by her pool and jacuzzi.
John Mayer shows his New York city loft in the upcoming edition of Elle Decor, and I’m kind of relieved that it’s nice but not my style. It’s like he went into the furniture showroom and just picked up a few sets and put them together with some prints for the wall and generic accents. It’s attractive enough, but feels sort of hotel-like. Armani is said to have designed it. Mayer is doing a great job for a 31 year-old bachelor, I have to give him that. He’s not a candidate for Queer Eye or anything, but his place could use some extra touches. Who am I kidding, I wish my place looked half as put together:
What should you expect to find at Mr. Mayer’s New York City apartment?
Mexican food!The 31-year-old Grammy winner admits he’s not a great cook, except for one thing. “I make fantastic fajitas after a late night out,” he says in the new issue of Elle Decor, which features a six-page spread on his new SoHo pad. “I can rock a skillet.”
Wanna see what Mr. Mayer’s 2,500-square-foot spread, including his master bedroom, looks like?
The place was actually designed with the help of Italian fashion powerhouse Giorgio Armani because Mayer loves the way he feels in his clothing.
The master bedroom is simple and sleek with an Andy Warhol print above the bed. The adjoining bathroom features a marble tub.
Scattered throughout Mayer’s home are photos of music legends like Jimi Hendrix and Miles Davis. “It’s intentional that there’s not a lot of music gear here,” Mayer said. “I can be a person, not a musician, in this apartment.However, Mayer’s office does include his many Grammy statuettes, at least two guitars and a wall full of framed awards and magazine covers.
The living room includes a sofa that Mayer insisted had to fit at least three friends with their feet up as well as be deep enough to double as a twin bed.
“After I finally figured out how to behave, and how to dress, I wanted to get the next best thing—my apartment—right,” he said. “It’s the last piece of the style puzzle.”
If only is his love life could come together just as nicely.
[From E! Online]
2,500 square feet is huge! Earlier this year there were stories that Mayer had purchased a new home in LA, but according to The Real Estalker he’s leasing a home “behind the guarded gates of the high priced horsey community of Hidden Hills, CA.” He also owns a home in Pacific Palisades, CA where he was living with two roommates, a married couple. John Mayer has it pretty well, and now we can see how he lives when he’s on the east coast at least. The bastard. What’s his pick up line, “want to come back to my place for fajitas and see my Armani furniture?”

yawn of all yawns. no creativity
-
Looks really boring
-
For a man who is known as a manwhore,it doesn’t appear that his bedroom gets much action.However,I’m sure he got his maid to make his bed for him,before this pic was released.
Typical bachelor pad I guess,although his living/dining area has a slight art deco look to it,which is so 90’s.
Could be worse,at least he doesn’t own anything that is leopard print.lol
-
Are those flowers in the painting/print over his bed? In a man’s bedroom? Couldn’t they find something more masculine?
-
IKEA has more life to its crap.
-
why is that bed so huge? kind of boring apartment… typical of a bachelor though…
-
YT - I think much like with his love life, Mayer was looking for a big name in art to hang his star on. In this case, Warhol.
-
This is all pr hype. This is how Mayer got to Hollywood. When he is about to put out a cd his pr team ( CAA-same as Aniston ) pull a load of fake pr rubbish.
-
It’s nice furniture, well-proportioned to the space, but the overall feel is a bit minimalist and generic (as some other posters put it, hotel-like). I’d like to see more personal touches.
-
’sallright I suppose. The bedroom is very hotel like, although the bed and the armchairs are nice. The only place with personality is the office (with lovely chairs too - walnut?)
But really it just looks like a standard showhouse/showapartment in a development, only the furniture and rugs happen to be by Casa Armani.
On a positve note, I really like the apartment photo on the cover of the magazine…
-
I would kill to live in Hidden Hills.
One of the most fantastic places I’ve ever seen in my life. -
he is so irrelevant, we’re now being shown pictures of his supposed bedroom. yawn…….
-
Debbie, thanks. Should have known ‘cuz Warhol never appeals to me. Maybe it was chosen to match the bed, but I still think another subject would be more appropriate for a man’s bedroom.
-
I’m not fond of the minimalistic style, I prefer eclectic style.
-
@Kevin, your comment made my day. You know you have to be right, lol!
-
Hate the flower picture.
-
So, this is the bedroom where Jessica and Jennifer got peed on? How nice.
-
Its emotionless. Much like a hotel room. Too many straight angles. Throw a curve or a round object somewhere in those rooms please.
-
I like the house interior design, espacially the Art Deco Elements, as I am a Art Deco fan myself.
-
This was a very good read, please keep updating!
