Serena Williams purchased a miniature resort to welcome new members

Serena Williams and her big sister Venus are relaxing in her newly decorated home office on Zoom on another lazy Sunday afternoon during quarantine. Two months ago, the tennis titans competed at the Top Seed Open in Kentucky, their first tournament since the CоVID-19 . The famous pair, who have been best friends, former teammates, competitors, and longtime roommates for 23 years, are laughing as they reflect on their five-year journey of designing Serena’s dream home.

“We had just met,” Serena sаys of Ohanian. I wasn’t going to sаy, ‘Hey, let’s do this together.’ She laughs, “That would have been weird for him.” “Yeah. That would have been , Venus says.

Ohanian supported Serena’s hands-on approach, but he perfected their three-year-old daughter’s bedroom. Olympia’s pink custom-designed castle bed with a built-in slide and Josh Fradis’ unique chandelier are both parents’ favorite parts of their home. Yes, it’s princess-worthy.

Serena says, “She goes down the slide every night while we’re thinking, Man, we shouldn’t have done that, because now at bedtime, she just wants to slide.” “Whatever makes her happy makes me happy.”

The house’s most extravagant room is Olympia’s, but Serena insisted on restraint elsewhere. The combination of sleek, clean lines and high-end features with warm woods and casual touches that complement Serena’s laid-back vibe created a cohesive visual narrative that embodies her newly evolved design aesthetic, which Haffey calls “livable luxury.” The client was a well of creativity, providing references from hotels she’s stayed at around the world.
