Keke Palmer is opening the doors to her vibrant Los Angeles family home that looks like it's straight out of a sitcom.
“My house is kind of like Full House,” the I Love Boosters star, 32, tells Architectural Digest, comparing her residence to the Tanner family home at the center of the beloved '90s family comedy. “Except instead of three uncles, we've got three aunts.”

“I wanted it to have that kind of vibe, but to be luxury, too,” she adds. “The value supports the people in it.”
Palmer spends much of her time in the California ranch-style home with her two sisters, their kids and her three-year-old son, Leodis, whom she welcomed on Feb. 25, 2023, with her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson. But beyond using the home as the setting of her family's own imaginary show, Palmer uses the abode as an elevated retreat from a career as an actor, singer, dancer and podcast host.
“It was really about making the place feel calming, supporting and homey,” The ‘Burbs star says, adding that it's the perfect place for kids to play and for adults to relax.
“I think at the end of the day, this home is a reflection of Keke. It's grounded, expressive and effortlessly warm,” says Michele Booth of Rylston Road Interiors, who worked with fellow designer Anna Viola to bring the home to life in just eight months. “Our goal was to create a space that feels as dynamic and layered as she is, while still being a sanctuary where she can fully relax with her friends and her family.”
An abundance of windows fills the space with warm, natural light. The large, open kitchen features an adorable breakfast nook and leads into an elegant dining room adorned with floral wallpaper. The grand living room includes plush furniture, a cozy window bench, wet bar and a display of awards Palmer describes as a “random shrine of accolades.”
In Palmer's primary suite, the pilates lover has her own reformer in the bedroom. Moving into the bathroom, the One of Them Days star describes it more as her “take on a boudoir.” It comes with a gorgeous walk-in shower, tub and an abundance of closet and storage space.

Leo's room, also known as his “sanctuary,” features jungle-inspired wallpaper, a Lightning McQueen bed, basketball hoop and a collection of books partially gifted by Jamie Lee Curtis.

Elsewhere, the media room has “another great big window moment,” according to Palmer. It houses a collection of dime-store paperbacks and VHS tapes as well as a custom couch. “Green in true earth sign fashion,” the Virgo says.
Outside, the backyard features mature live oaks, an open-air kitchen, multiple seating areas and sprawling views reminiscent of Palmer's grandmother's house in Robbins, Ill. There's also an Airstream trailer parked in the driveway she sometimes takes on location.

But there's one element of her home she was initially pretty shy to reveal at first. “There are so many pictures in my house of me solo,” Palmer previously revealed to PEOPLE with a laugh. “And people are going to think it's me, but it's my mom.”
The True Jackson, VP alum says her mother, Sharon Palmer, 75, “comes to my house and puts pictures of me that she thinks are beautiful.”

“Sometimes they'll be like selfies and it'll be like, ‘This is an iPhone photo. What are you doing with this in your house?' My mom is like, ‘You're beautiful, you need to remember that,'” she says. “It's like the most extra thing in my house.”
She adds: “I guess people could say, ‘Well, Keke, you could take it down.' But, I mean, my mom wants it, my mom gets it.”
