6 of the Most Iconic Homes Featured on the ‘Real Housewives’ and How to Get the Look

The “Real Housewives” franchises have been gracing our TV screens for more than a decade, and if you’re a dedicated fan, you probably have a favorite housewife of all time and maybe even your own tagline you’d use if you were on the show. And while many of us tune in solely for all table-flipping drama, there’s no doubt that ogling at the homes featured on the show is a big draw. After all, some have been the backdrop for so many iconic moments, they’re practically characters themselves. 

That’s why we’ve decided to round up some of the most notable housewives' houses of all time—and share how you can emulate their look so you can live out your Bravo dreams right at home. Hopefully, your dinner parties go better than the ones on the show, though.

1. Lisa Vanderpump’s Villa Rosa

The former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star and current “Vanderpump Rules” matriarch is known for her stylish restaurants but fans also love her own longtime home, dubbed Villa Rosa. Viewers have seen everything from her kitchen renovation to her ridiculously amazing closet, but its most iconic feature is arguably its outdoor space. The backyard houses several seating areas, a pool, and even hangouts for her many animals. 

If you’re looking to try and make your yard a proper oasis (even on a slightly more modest budget), a local landscaping design company can help make your vision a reality. After all, what better way to channel LVP than hiring a qualified pro to make your home look immaculate while you enjoy some much-deserved R&R? 

2. Dorinda Medley’s Bluestone Manor

Speaking of Real Housewives homes with well-known names, former “Real Housewives of New York” star Dorinda Medley’s Berkshires, MA, vacation home has been the backdrop for some of the most iconic moments in the show’s history. And although you may not want to inspire guests to fight over who has to stay in the dreaded “fish room,” there is also plenty of home decor inspiration to take from Bluestone Manor. 

One of our favorite spots is the kitchen, with its classically elegant lighting fixtures, gorgeous range stove, and spacious island where Medley memorably “cooked, cleaned, and made it nice.” While the rest of the home features many bright rooms, the kitchen and attached seating area is a timeless touch that offers a more neutral contrast. 

While remodeling your kitchen can cost around $30,000, it’s often a worthy investment. However, if you don’t want to take on such a large project, a fresh coat of paint and new cabinet hardware can be a great spot to start.

3. Kenya Moore’s Moore Manor

Speaking of kitchens, another one of our favorite spaces is in “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kenya Moore’s home, dubbed Moore Manor. Everything about the space screams modern elegance, including the marble kitchen island and the gorgeous light fixture above the super-comfy dining room table setup. 

But our favorite aspect of the home is perhaps how open and airy it feels. Her home design makes use of an open floor plan and tall windows to make everything feel light and sprawling, while still giving the feel of separate spaces for eating, lounging, and cooking. 

If you’re looking at Moore’s home with envy (how could you not?), speaking with a local kitchen renovation pro can help you design your very own manor and create a space that works for you. 

4. Heather Dubrow’s Over-the-Top Home

Dubrow has recently made her way back to “The Real Housewives of Orange County” and so we’ve been treated to many looks at her gorgeous house. Since she and her husband Terry often host parties, we also often get views of the outside as guests arrive, as well as the inside where the party happens. 

There’s a lot to love about this space, but we’re partial to the simple, yet breathtaking landscaping and hardscaping outside. A few trees paired with lights and a sprawling driveway allow all the focus to be drawn to their home’s architecture. They make the landscaping work to accentuate their home, and a local landscaper can help you find the right balance for you. 

5. Kyle Richards’ Classic Home

Another home exterior we love is Kyle Richards’ classic facade. One of her many homes featured on the show showcases farmhouse details that feel classic, yet are super functional. We’ve seen her waving from the balcony at the top, greeting guests at her door, and even hosting parties by the pool. 

And while we can’t all be an OG housewife like Richards, we can take simple inspiration from her home. For instance, one easy way to make the outside of your home look immaculate is to pressure wash your siding regularly, especially after a long winter (hey, we can’t all live in Beverly Hills). If you want a bigger, more housewives-inspired upgrade, you can speak to a local pro about adding window shutters like the kind seen above. 

6. Kandi Burruss’s Vibrant House

Kandi Burruss has made a name for herself as a legend in the music world, as well as the reality TV world, as a longtime cast member of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta.” And for as long as we’ve watched her life play out on TV, we’ve also admired her interior design style. 

Take, for instance, her living room, seen here. Burruss was able to pair neutrals with pops of bold color that extend from her table to her throw pillows to her artwork in a way that feels true to her style without going overboard. Take some cues from this “RHOA” icon by adding a few colorful accents to your space. A few vibrant design touches can help elevate any room, and maintaining that palette throughout a few different decor items can help the whole space feel cohesive.
