Rita Ora is the epitome of the modern woman. After relocating to West London with her family from Kosovo when she was a child, the Albanian singer began her ascent to fame.
.
The 31-year-old has judged and coached singing competitions such as The Voice UK, The Voice Australia, The X Factor, and The Masked Singer UK. In addition, she has featured in a number of films, including the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy, Detective Pikachu, and others. She has also had a number of successful singles.
She is a celebrity of the 21st century who posts from a variety of locations, including Paris, Los Angeles, and New Zealand. She was even romantically involved with the filmmaker Taika Waititi.
Because of all of this outward glitz, the fact that her home is nothing at all like the ultra-modern mansion complete with an infinity pool that you may have envisioned for her is both shocking and pleasant.
Ora resides in a magnificent home made of brick in Primrose Hill. In the year 1877, Arthur Rackham called this house home. In addition to other works, he provided illustrations for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.
Due to the fact that it is Grade II classified, Ora was limited to making only minor changes once she purchased it in 2021. Ora mentioned that she has always had a thing for older homes. I had the impression that this house would have a unique vibe because it had been home to a number of creative types.
Restoring the floors, roof, bathrooms, plumbing, and electricity, and renovating the kitchen were the key renovations. In another down-to-earth move, Ora outfitted the property largely with vintage purchases from London’s Portobello Road Market.
“I love cost-efficiency when necessary,” she explains. Elena Ora, her sister and manager, arranges the furniture in the home, while interior designer Joanna Plant adds “little bits and bobs” to bring everything together.
Her furniture brings West London to her new neighborhood. Ora claims she bought a house in an unusual place to leave her comfort zone. My favorite café and all my friends are in West London.
I wɑnted more.” Her new neighborhood has more parks and greenery, and her home has many fireplaces and a wonderful garden, helping her relax from her hectic existence.
West Londoners would ask, ‘Rita, what’s up?’ It took six hours to get home. I would have coffee and a drink and think, “How am I not home yet?”
Naturally, the social butterfly is settling in. “I’ve made friends in local Pilates, and they’re all gorgeous mums of three kids, and I’m sort of like, ‘This is how you guys live out here. Ok, cool. I understand.
Ora loves her peaceful home base while she works on her third album. “Everyone comes to my house and says, ‘I can’t believe you live in a house like this,’” she says.
She understands confusion: “My exterior self is super flamboyant, colorful, and I’m really proud of the decisions I make. I’m different inside. My home should mirror my true self.”
