1. The Entry Hall
Kravitz wasted no time packing a design punch in his home. With its sweeping staircase with swirling railings to the lofty ceilings (which Kravitz told Architectural Digest creates great reverberations for making music), and a skylight, the house's front entry looks as if it belongs in a chic, Parisian hotel. Large sculptures and black and white marble floors give an elegant peek into what guests can expect from the rest of the home.
The star of the entry is Kravitz's custom grand piano. Featuring hand-crafted bronzework, foot pedals, and African-inspired wooden legs, the instrument encompasses what Kravitz references all throughout his home: history, craftsmanship, and love for music and art.

2. The Grand Salon
Aptly named the "Grand Salon," the space where Kravitz spends time with loved ones is not your average sitting room. The circular room is lined with three sets of French doors and filled with Andy Warhol originals, all inspired by boxing legend Muhammad Ali. A collection of snake print and boucle chairs and a black sofa offer myriad options for guests to lounge. The salon most likely gets its name from the large, round chandelier hanging in the center of the room: Made with Swarovski diamonds on and hanging through its center, the piece was the first chandelier that Kravitz Design produced.
3. The Studio
While the upper levels are more geared toward sophisticated and chic design, the lower level of Kravitz's home, which he calls the "work floor," leans heavily into music and entertaining. Kravitz's in-home music studio is heavily inspired by artists who influenced him throughout his life. Display cases filled with memorabilia of them line the black walls—it isn't just posters and t-shirts, though. Kravitz displays pieces of clothing from musical legends like Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Bob Marley, and Miles Davis, just to name a few. He tells a story during the tour of how he came into possession of one of John Lennon's shirts: It was gifted to him by Yoko Ono on his birthday.

4. The Basement Speakeasy
Most people's basements are used for storage, extra bedrooms, or maybe a cozy spot to watch a movie—not Kravitz's. Past the display case holding a pair of Jimi Hendrix's purple pants is a fully-functioning nightclub. The space consists of two levels—one for dancing and one for dining at small cocktail tables. With exposed cement block walls, red-hued lights, and a massive disco ball, Kravitz told Architectural Digest that it's the "heart and soul" of his home.
