While perusing through the In Style magazine archives, we spotted a June, 2008 feature on Miley Cyrus' home. Ms. Montana posed in her bedroom and dress room. (Well, excuse me!) Certainly not your normal teen fare, the look of both rooms was said to be inspired by old Hollywood and the Viceroy Hotel in Santa Monica, California.
Of her rooms, Miley says, "I wanted it to be very girlie and fashiony, kind of like a boutique." The dressing room features houndstooth fabrics, a pink and black palette (which reminds us of Lily's room.)

The bedroom features a chocolate brown and blue look, with various black accents like matching zebra chairs and lamps. Did we mention we had a Smurfette comforter when we were kids?

White Enamel Flatwa...
This is so designed it's horrible. There is nothing fresh or even interesting here. Teens rooms are usually great for personality and creativity. Even the color combinations are less than unique.
I'm seldom a critic, but I agree with stt64. The rooms are expensive... and look expensive.... everything matches. Nothing stylish or tasteful, though. And no hint of personality.. They DID accomplish their goal though. It looks like a couple of theme hotel rooms
Wow. With the millions she rakes in, I would have thought the rooms would be larger and have higher end furnishings.
I actually read an article forever ago about her room. They gave her her own bedroom 'suite' under the condition that she has to live at home until she is 21.
It is there way to make sure that she doesn't end up like other famous kids...
I like the rooms fine but agree they don't feel esp young or personal. That said, I'm guessing she travels quite a bit and isn't exactly lounging on her bed and tacking up snapshots.
It kind of makes me think of that scene in "The Bodyguard" where the Whitney Houston character explains that she has a $60,000 bedroom for magazines to photograph and she sleeps in a small white room with dolls on her bed.
Please make "Jailbait" (Laineygossip) go away. Please.
I actually disagree with the comments and think the rooms are appropriate for a 16 year old, particularly one who has been working for years, makes enough money to purchase the items in the room and probably has more established taste than a typical 10th grade kid in a jersey suburb.
The bedroom is pretty and girly without seeming sexy or inappropriate. The colors are tasteful and the accessories are fun and eclectic.
The closet is totally girly- like with its pink walls and black/white accents- It's like a Delias catalog on a slightly inflated budget.
I love ranking on celebs as much as the next girl- but I think these rooms are totally cute & appropriate.
I like her room but not for a teenager, is perfect for an hotel. I think it could be more fresh
nice, but a little to pre-fab and matchy matchy.
Since Ms. Cyrus can afford anything she wants for her bedroom, I must presume that this is precisely what she wanted. My only criticism is seeing the shoes stored out in the open, since that's bad for the shoes. However, I bet Ms. Cyrus won't be wearing the same pair of boots in twenty years, like I do.
If it makes you feel any better, guys, I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that everything in her tour bus is hello kitty.
Also, keep in mind, these are magazine photos. Do you think that feather boa is always carelessly strewn over the ottoman next to the fedora? Not to mention the roller skates... I think the dressing room is awesome, though. The bedroom does look a little impersonal and hotel-y, but she probably has more teen stuff out when photographers aren't around.
Haha, that many shoes in the average American's house would leave them being diagnosed as a hoarder.
ugghh... UGLY
no matter if you think it is not personal, too much like a hotel room (i personally would love to sleep in a bedroom that looks like a luxury hotel room every night), and too perfect looking, the fact is almost no teenage girl would turn down this bedroom suite if it was offered to her.
the colors are too loud .. the room is good to stay for two days .. not morethan that
This was a no-win situation... if her rooms were decked out in super expensive items, then she would be a spoiled brat who probably doesn't appreciate all that she has. Storing shoes out in the open on what appear to be PB shelves is a problem, really?
I'm not a fan of hers, but sometimes I get frustrated by the turn that comments take...
I think niche nailed it when pointing out that no teenage girl would turn this down! :)
I'll agree that I don't exactly love it, I don't hate it. Yes, it lacks true personality but she's a 16-year old actress/singer - not a interior decorator.
It's completely age-appropriate and has a good balance of fun and sophistication. It's not stuffy and it looks like her and her friends can hang out there, have slumber parties and tons of fun. Miley's room is sweet and fun and if I were 16 again, I would be pretty happy.
Side note, I looked through the gallery at the other celebrity room and nothing was impressive (even though I love Maria Menounos and Jamie-Lynn Sigler). They all seemed devoid of any real personality of character, nothing like the rad House Tours of AT's readers.
it looks like they hired a decorator devoid of any taste. i agree with another poster that said they're surprised at the lack of quality in the furnishings. looks very "new money".
I can't believe you really said "new money."
I think it's funny when people critique or praise celebrities' fashion sense and home furnishings, I can promise you that there's no way she picked out everything herself... People with that much money tell an interior decorator the style they want and they pay them to decorate their room... or pick out their clothes... etc. So for that reason yes, it's very "impersonal" but agreed that any teenage girl would take it in a heart beat! And yes, who gives a crap if her shoes are left out, she's probably only going to wear them a few times anyway. And I guarantee that a "bedroom suite" isn't going to make a successful 20 year old celebrity stay at home with her parents until she's 21! She could buy her own house now if she wanted.
Real musicians have musical instruments in their bedrooms.
Both rooms seem fun and I'd classify them as a combination between the teen girl company delia*s (which also has bedroom decor) and the more grown-up furnishings company West Elm.
I don't think the shoes can be considered 'left out' as they are in a dressing room. I can picture her lounging around with friends trying on clothes or getting ready for a party or prom.
she's a kid. most of her money probably goes into a trust. they likely live off her dad's money. and her mom runs a tight ship. it isn't miley's house. it's her parents' house.
I saw this in the issue when it came out and I remember how distressed I was that I loved her bedroom. Oh, and the dressing room. I hate being jealous of Miley Cyrus.
I want those cute zebra print chairs!
anyone have any idea what happened to her left foot?
Gross! The hot pink black wall screams pre-teen...and not in a fresh, youthful way either.
The bedrooms not to bad I GUESS. A little too matchy for my taste.
I'm annoyed with the photographer or photo stylist who thought it would make a better photo to have her posed like that instead of plunked down on her bed like a real teenager.
And if it was to be so staged, maybe a book would have been more appropriate than a boa.
She may be a "star" but should still be portrayed --especially in magazine spreads --as the kid she still is.
love the concept but it's just a bit too much for me. take away a few elements (for me, the wallpaper and the zebra print) and I'd love to live there.
here2help - I'm a "real musician" . . . and I DEFINITELY don't have musical instruments in my room. That's a bit of a ridiculous statement I think! I love music . .it's my life. But I don't want my "job" in my bedroom with me. It has it's own place.
mjs - not all teenagers sprawl out on their bed at all times. The last thing i wanted to do was hang out on my bed. She seems like an upbeat kindof person . . . so maybe that pose is more indicative of who she is. . . and not the 'typical teenager' . . .
What's with all the haters? I suspect people would have somewhat nicer things to say if they didn't know whose rooms these were.
I wouldn't decorate my own home this way, but that's because it's not really my style. It seems to suit Miley well.
she definitely is not spending a lot of time lounging around in her room, as others have said.
and i'm sure her mom and an interior designer did most of the work here...with probably a little input from miley on colors and such.
it works for a teen girl.
the room is FOR miley so if she likes it who are we to care?
i'm sure when her tastes mature she'll do an overhaul and change everything. until then...hot pink and black it is!
