Nicole Kidman's Australian Ranch Is Beyond Charming
Despite her marriage to country star Keith Urban, Academy Award-winning acting, and status as one of the most famous women in Hollywood, Nicole Kidman's life is largely a mystery to her fans. But during her most recent interview with Vogue and a "73 Questions" video shot at her stunning Australian farm, the actress opened up about everything from Aussie hospitality to the joys — and fears — that accompany motherhood. However, the most intimate insights about Kidman's life come not from her words, but from her home itself.
Strolling through the country estate's wraparound porch, warm library, airy family room (complete with a grand piano), rustic backyard cottage, and expansive farmland, Kidman answers a slew of questions while also performing basic household chores. "Look what I've got!" she exclaims at one point while plucking fresh-laid eggs from her chicken coops, later sharing that her favorite aspect of farm life is "the simplicity; the air; the peace."
So if you're curious about how the The Queen of the Desert star lives, give the video a watch — you'll be charmed by her home, her honesty, and (spoiler alert) her cows. And don't worry if you're left in awe of her gorgeous home, because we've got some decor and hospitality takeaways that anyone can incorporate into their own abode.
- Fill Cozy Spaces With Nostalgic Touches: While relaxing on her leather couch in the comfortable, wood-accented library, Kidman shows off a well-worn American flag pillow — a reminder of her other home in Nashville.
- Remember to Live in Your Home: Midinterview, Kidman trips over one of her children's toys — instead of embarrassedly shoving it into a cabinet somewhere, she drops it off in an area filled with toys and knickknacks. While the entire estate is gorgeously decorated, there is still a "lived-in" feeling to the home.
- Show Hospitality With Homemade Treats: When asked about her go-to parting gift for visitors, Kidman stuck to simple gifts found around the Australian property. "Well, that'd be my homemade jam (from our orchard), my lavender (in a sachet), and my eggs," she answered, holding up a basket of fresh-laid eggs from the farm's chicken coop.
