When it comes to Courteney Cox and interior design, every Friends fan will think of her iconic purple open-plan apartment during her years on the Warner Bros set as Monica Geller.
But the Scream star’s real-life pad couldn’t be further from that. Courteney purchased her $9 million Malibu home in 2010 to share with her daughter Coco Arquette, 19. She now also lives part-time with her partner Johnny McDaid, 47.

The couch has been dressed with cushions and throws for an extra level of comfort not only for herself, but for her two adorable King Charles Cavalier pups, Lily and Bear.

“I had the privilege of styling @courteneycoxofficial’s beautiful home in Malibu for @fthtsi,” penned the interior designer on Instagram. “I discovered the painting on the wall behind her in a guest bedroom and found out it was painted by her grandmother i managed to hold it up out of frame and it served as inspiration for the cover image.”
Courteney’s forever home

When I got this house, my designer, Trip Haenisch, was able to bring in the pops of colour and the interesting pieces I wouldn’t have necessarily gone for. We had a fantastic time doing it.”

The exterior of Courteney’s home is as impressive as the interior. In a hilarious skit posted to her Instagram, the star showed her dogs’ faces when she leaves home showing the incredible patio leading up to her home which has to be seen to be believed.
