Jennifer Aniston has "nowhere" she’d rather be than her home.
The 48-year-old actress – who is married to Justin Theroux – used to love jetting off to work on new movies, but these days, she’s never happier than when she’s relaxing at her Los Angeles estate.
She said: "There was a time when I thought there was something romantic about picking up and trotting off somewhere different every three months.
"Now I’m becoming more particular about the projects I take.
"I look around at my husband and my dogs and our home, and there’s nowhere else I want to be."
When it came to furnishing the property, the ‘Cake’ actress put "comfort" first.
She told Architectural Digest magazine: "Sexy is important, but comfort is essential.
"I’m all about the cosy."
Jennifer has a passion for interior design and admits it would have been her career of choice if she hadn’t made it as an actress.
She said: "If I wasn’t an actress, I’d want to be a designer. I love the process.
"There’s something about picking out fabrics and finishes that feeds my soul."
And when it came to decorating her own home – a 1965 property which she bought in 2011 – it was an adjustment for the ‘Dumplin” star to allow ‘The Leftovers’ actor his own input into the changes.
She said: "Justin definitely wanted to be involved, so there was a bit of a learning curve for me on how to include another voice in the design process.
"For instance, I figured out that immediately saying ‘No!’ to any suggestion is not the most collaborative move."
The grounds of the property have been transformed from a hillside vineyard to include terraces, pocket gardens and a pool area surrounded by a teak deck, and the former ‘Friends’ star couldn’t be happier.
She said: "Every corner you turn, you have an experience. Everywhere you look, you get a vista.
"We worked very hard to get that flow right."
