Zooey Deschanel Jonathan Scott Unveil Maximalist Manhattan Apartment Renovation

Zooey Deschanel and Jonathan Scott have transformed their Manhattan duplex into a maximalist, bespoke haven that blends vintage charm with custom craftsmanship. The couple, who live primarily in Los Angeles, purchased the turn-of-the-20th-century building in 2020 and, with the help of interior designer Young Huh and Scott's home renovation skills, completely revitalized the once dilapidated space. Their East Coast pied-à-terre features richly layered designs including floral wallpaper, embroidered Frey-designed wallpaper, vintage Murano glass chandeliers, intricate plaster moldings, and custom bunk beds for Deschanel's children. The design emphasizes a sense of history and color with French and English aesthetic influences, and quirky personal touches like references to their 2019 meeting on Carpool Karaoke. Deschanel praises Scott's perfectionism and execution in realizing their vision, resulting in a home that balances family warmth with stylish, playful details. The apartment’s transformation showcases a seamless collaboration between the couple and their designer, turning a raw space into a vibrant, welcoming residence.
