“Sexy is important, but comfort is essential,” the 48-year-old star tells the magazine of what’s important for her in decorating her house. And you can feel it in every corner of the house through luxurious furnishings, like a Jean Royere polar bear sofa and organic finishes. “I’m all about the cozy,” she says.

Jennifer shares, “Justin definitely wanted to be involved, so there was a bit of a learning curve for me on how to include another voice in the design process. For instance, I figured out that immediately saying ‘No!’ to any suggestion is not the most collaborative move.”

The mansion, which boasts terraces, pocket gardens and a stunning pool surrounded by a teak deck, holds a special memory for the couple. They tied the knot in front of close friends and family members on the property on August 5, 2015. “Every corner you turn, you have an experience.

While she remains a Hollywood A-lister, the “Friends” alum says about choosing her projects, “There was a time when I thought there was something romantic about picking up and trotting off somewhere different every three months. Now I’m becoming more particular about the projects I take.”
