Liza Minnelli Has The Most Iconic Living Room I’ve Ever Seen
There are only a few people on the planet who could decorate their wall with a picture of their own face in a chic way, and Liza Minnelli is one of them. A glimpse into the actress’s living room is like reading an autobiography, and I’m enchanted.
It’s my personal opinion that interior design should paint a portrait of the people who live in the home, and never has this statement rung more literal than in Liza Minnelli’s Los Angeles home. The actress adorned the walls of her living room with four Andy Warhol portraits: one of her father, Vicente Minnelli, two of Liza herself, and one of her mother, Judy Garland, but the infusion of personality doesn’t stop there. Liza reclines on a bright red sofa, lounging between side tables that store what appear to be her various Academy Awards. Iconic.

Andy Warhol Liza Minnelli Portrait
You don’t have to be Liza Minnelli to hang a Liza Minnelli Warhol print in your home. This fun red poster would be a fun and whimsical feature in the home of any pop art lover.
Faux Fur Throw Pillow Covers
Liza uses black pillows as a contrast to her red sofa, and these faux fur ones have an extra dose of flair. They are gorgeously textural and ridiculously soft.
Signed Judy Garland Andy Warhol Print
If you prefer a framed portrait, this stunning print of Judy Garland, Liza’s mother, also appears in her living room. The matting makes it feel luxurious.
As Liza’s living room demonstrates, a bold statement sofa can completely transform a space. This beautiful, sculptural one is quietly 37% off at Wayfair.
Metal Accent Rolling End Table
Liza uses simple white rectangular end tables to ground her bold design, and these easy-to-clean rolling ones are a pick that’s as easy as it is stylish. Plus, the extra shelf on the bottom provides more room for storage.
Rectangle Lamp Shades Set of 2
Rectangular lampshades have been coming second to circular ones in recent trends, but seeing them in Liza Minnelli’s home might change your mind. The long, narrow rectangular shades look so striking on her side tables.
The first thing that works so well about Liza’s living room for me is that she has chosen art that feels very personal to her. Decorating with art can be an incredibly difficult choice, as many people struggle to figure out whether they should decorate around art or vice versa. Rather than getting caught in the weeds, Liza chose pieces that reflect herself and her family for a design that feels both fun and intentional.
Furthermore, I love the statement sofa. When we talk about brightly colored sofas, it’s easy to get caught up in ‘safe’ brights like blue and green. On the other hand, Liza goes for it with an unapologetically bright sofa color, emphasizing the sense that her space is an ode to her personal space unbound by convention.
When your interiors are personality-driven, they will always feel richer and more textured than a room decorated based on emulating a specific style. Liza’s living room encapsulates this universal truth.
