Charlize Theron, famed actress in films like Mad Max and The Italian Job offered a glimpse into her California home. Design experts are obsessed with the home decor ideas she's chosen.

An Instagram post shows the academy-award-winning actress posed in front of her antique balcony. The glass doors are framed by sleek steel black beams in a very modern style. To her left, a toleware-style antique mirror brings out a vintage feel in the home. A glass side table creates the perfect space for storage.
