Nina Dobrev lives in a European dream.
The Canadian actress, 32, joined Architectural Digest to give fans an inside look at her stunning four-bedroom Los Angeles home.
With themes of sleek brass and locally-sourced art and furniture, Dobrev perfectly meshed the classic European style with an airy sense of California cool.
“I used to say that I lived most of my life on planes, because I’m constantly travelling for work and pleasure,” Dobrev told the outlet. “But the pandemic was the first time that I was in my home for an extended period of time.”

“Maybe it’s the frugal side of me, the Eastern European Bulgarian girl that was like, I don’t want to pay a lot of money to have a bunch of people come and paint this, and I’m bored,” she said, revealing she went to The Home Depot for a pressure washer and some paint, and proceeded to coat the home’s mustard-yellow exterior a fresh matte white.
And her favourite part of her home? The spice rack, which she said is “very adult Nina. ”
“It’s the best part of the whole house—it makes me feel like an adult, officially grown.”
