3D Room Designs Inspired by 4 Chart-Topping Music Icons
Explore virtual rooms that capture the styles of Taylor Swift, Beyoncé, Chris Stapleton and Madonna
What would the essence of your favorite music artist look like embodied in a virtual room? That question shaped a fun new project that shows off the capabilities of Houzz Pro’s 3D Floor Planner, a design tool available to Houzz Pro subscribers. Below, you can tour an eclectic office inspired by Taylor Swift’s Midnights era, a luxurious primary bathroom fit for Beyoncé, a kitchen that looks as warm and down-to-earth as Chris Stapleton sounds and a dining room that dishes out Madonna’s edgy style — all created using the tool.
“Designing these spaces was like curating the perfect playlist, where every element — from the overall layout to the smallest accent details — was carefully selected to mirror each musician’s brand characteristics,” Houzz designer Madison Holmlund says.

2. Beyoncé
Beyoncé’s Renaissance world tour just wrapped up last fall, and rumor has it that she may soon hit the road again in support of her latest chart-topping album, Cowboy Carter. The ground- and record-breaking artist clearly deserves a little down time. And where better to rejuvenate than in a luxurious, spa-like sanctuary with a fireplace and freestanding soaking tub?
For this primary bathroom, Holmlund combined inspiration from Cowboy Carter’s country roots and the shiny metallics and lights of the Renaissance tour. Cream-colored stone tile laid in a herringbone pattern flows under the tub and into a luxurious shower with a built-in bench. Twin MOD Boutique bath vanities in a warm wood tone flank French doors dressed with draperies. Beyoncé could primp with her new line of hair care products at the glam station/dressing table. And above the table, on a wall painted Rodeo by Benjamin Moore, hangs decor that’s a little reminder of who’s the Queen Bey.
To the right of the dressing table is a door leading to a separate WC. You can enter that space in the plan’s Dollhouse and Walkthrough views by clicking and dragging the cursor using the Rotate, Move and zoom buttons. This offers a sense of how the floor plan tool can help design and remodeling pros and their clients visualize the layout and flow between rooms.

3. Chris Stapleton
Country singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton’s down-to-earth public persona and soulful music inspired this transitional-style kitchen, where rustic elegance meets modern functionality. “It’s the kind of space where you can cook and entertain with your family and create those memories,” Holmlund says.
It’s also a good illustration of many of the design details and finishes, including the extra-long island and backsplash that extends to the ceiling, that are popular with homeowners right now, according to the 2024 U.S. Houzz Kitchen Trends Study.
Hazelnut-colored cabinetry, a brick-look tile backsplash, brushed brass hardware and a hammered copper range hood give the kitchen a warm, cozy feel. The marble countertop has an eased edge, the walls are Swiss Coffee by Benjamin Moore and the flooring is white oak, which Holmlund customized with 6-inch-wide planks.
Extending into the eat-in area is a long bar that Holmlund calls the kitchen’s “Tennessee Whiskey” moment — an homage to the artist’s breakout performance.

4. Madonna
Madonna, aka the Queen of Pop, has continually reinvented herself for decades. So when creating this grand entertaining space, Holmlund wanted to reflect the performer’s diversity both on and offstage. The resulting look is luxurious, eclectic and a little bit edgy.
A bank of floor-to-ceiling windows allows natural light to flood into the moody space, which has Benjamin Moore Amherst Gray walls and a Mohegan Sage ceiling. The light bounces off the 5-inch-wide-plank laminate flooring and metallic, mirrored and lacquered surfaces — an effect that’s especially dramatic in the photorealistic renders. “It just keeps getting better and better,” Holmlund says of the tool.
Other high-impact design elements include a regal fireplace adorned with flickering candles, an opulent crystal chandelier, built-in storage and throne-like dining and lounge chairs with nailhead trim.
When you’re navigating through the space in augmented reality, see if you can find the Easter egg inspired by the religious iconography in Madonna’s videos.

Taylor Swift’s international Eras tour is still going strong, and The Tortured Poets Department is hot off the press. But when the Time 2023 Person of the Year next picks up her guitar or sits at the piano to pen yet another album, one could imagine her doing so in an office like this one. “She’s such a boss,” Holmlund says.
Holmlund took inspiration from Swift’s Midnights era to create the room’s welcoming, modern-meets-retro vibe. “The music videos, which were very ’70s, inspired a lot of wood tones,” Holmlund says. “We tried to incorporate elements of that into this space while elevating it a little bit, to feel contemporary and modern.” The flooring is a 5-inch-wide-plank laminate, the walls are painted Mountain Peak White by Benjamin Moore and the hardware is all brushed brass. Fans might recognize the sofa color from the Anti-Hero music video. And die-hard Swifties will no doubt spot the Easter eggs: cat art prints that, like many of the items in the virtual room, are available in the Houzz Shop.
Note: The Floor Planner tool now allows Houzz Pro subscribers to create photorealistic images like those pictured in this story by taking a “snapshot” while in Dollhouse mode. The result is so lifelike, it’s almost as if you took a photo inside a real room.
