Lucy Hale Opens the Doors to Her ‘Healing’ L.A. Home Where She Experienced ‘Heartbreak’ and ‘Got Sober’

Lucy Hale, known for her role in the popular series “Pretty Little Liars,” has recently given a glimpse into her beautifully renovated Spanish-style home in Los Angeles. In a video tour shared by Architectural Digest, Hale showcased her 1940s abode, labelled as a place that “feels like a true extension” of her evolving self.

Hale acquired the home in 2019, shortly after wrapping up her role as Aria Montgomery in “Pretty Little Liars.” Initially reflecting a more “farmhouse-y” aesthetic, the actress felt it was essential for her living space to mirror her personal growth over the past few years. Recent transformations have led to a home that is both “moody” and “feminine,” thanks to the skilled hands of designers Ashley Drost and Marie Trohman from Proem Studio.

In her comments, Hale sought a design that was a true reflection of who she has become. She was inspired to seek out Drost and Trohman after coming across their impressive work in Emma Chamberlain’s home, which is described as “hippie modern.” “They just picked it up right like that,” Hale said, highlighting the designers’ knack for capturing her essence and style.

The transformation of Hale’s home was no small feat; it spanned three years and involved extensive renovations that resulted in a haven filled with personal touches. The actress has made the space not just a home, but a sanctuary where she has dealt with significant life events. “This house has been very healing for me,” she remarked, indicating that it has been a space for personal milestones, including her journey to sobriety which began in 2022.

Hale’s home is adorned with a deep colour palette, which she says she has long desired, as well as a collection of sentimental items. A hallway prominently features a wall of family photographs, mixing historical images of her ancestors with cherished snapshots of her immediate family. These mementoes create a deep personal connection within the home, grounding her in her heritage.

In addition to family keepsakes, the media room pays homage to the music legend Elvis Presley, reflecting Hale’s background and interests. One notable feature is an Elvis lamp, alongside framed memorabilia that belonged to her grandmother. Interestingly, one of her dogs is named in tribute to the iconic singer.

Among the most poignant elements of Hale’s home is a solitary armchair she fondly refers to as “Dad’s chair,” dedicated to her late father, Preston. She explained that this chair holds special significance for her as it is where she feels closest to him. In a heartwarming social media post earlier this year, she celebrated her father’s life after he passed away unexpectedly.

While her dwelling serves as a tribute to family and personal history, it also embodies Hale’s acceptance of change and the unknown future. She expressed hope that her home would continue to evolve alongside her. “This house is helping support the woman I am today, but also who I’m going to be in the future,” she said thoughtfully.

As Hale moves forward, she remains uncertain whether this renovation will be her forever home, but her attachment to the space is unmistakable. “I definitely know I will always own this house,” she affirmed, underlining the deep connection she holds with the place.
