Lady Gaga’s backyard is filled with unexpected whimsy
I always say when decorating your backyard not to be afraid of bringing personality into it. Whether you’re gazing at it from your kitchen window or hosting parties in it, it’s a good idea to get it looking beautiful.
I spotted Lady Gaga’s backyard in her 73 Questions With interview with Vogue, and I fell in love with the bold colors, the spacious furniture, and eclectic coffee table decor. I’ve asked interior designers why these work so well and how you can bring the look into your own outdoor space.
If you’re looking for backyard ideas that go beyond the cookie-cutter norm and are playful and inviting, the Poker Face singer and A Star is Born actor’s place has plenty to swoon over.
The star is known for her bold and sophisticated designs, so it’s no surprise that she’s incorporated her aesthetic into her place.
“Much like Lady Gaga herself, her backyard exudes classic Old Hollywood with a glimpse of unexpected whimsy,” explains Sam Tosti, interior designer and co-owner of Tosti Design.
“The timeless Mediterranean architecture blends in seamlessly with the garden beyond, yet creates a feeling of privacy in the small cobblestoned patio,” she continues.
Sam adds that many layers of Lady Gaga’s personality are evident in the space, beginning with colors that draw your eye in.
“The large windows and neutral color scheme make the space feel open and airy, while the pops of color add vibrancy,” says Nicole Saunders, interior design specialist and the founder of The Design Build Vault.
She continues, “I suggest investing in quality and comfortable outdoor furniture pieces in neutral colors and then adding colorful accents through planters, cushions, pillows, rugs, and even books when it’s not raining.”
“I also love how Lady Gaga has also added functional pieces like a storage coffee table. This is a great way to keep the space organized and visually appealing,” Nicole explains.
All of this is topped up with the ultimate fashion-forward touch — a glimpse of what is likely one of her many coveted closet spaces. “This marries fashion, design, and architecture in the most unexpected of ways,” Sam says.

“Lady Gaga teaches us you don’t have to follow all of the rules —it’s better to just be authentic, and that is what makes things interesting,” Sam finishes by saying.
