Gardening happens in the ground, right? Most of us operate under this assumption, so when Pamela Anderson took to Instagram to bring her fans on a tour of her Vancouver Island vegetable garden, we were immediately struck by how lifted everything looks.

Rather than sprouting straight from the soil, most of Pamela Anderson's plants have some element of vertical growing. From raised beds to trellises to vine-covered pergolas to living walls, nearly every plant is elevated. Between these height-adding elements, Pamela has added pea gravel to create a pretty walkable path.

Her vertical gardening method is brilliant for both design and practical reasons. It helps her vegetables and vining plants grow better, but it also just creates a nicer environment to walk around.

To explore replicating her vertical vegetable gardening idea, Homes & Gardens curated an edit of pieces needed to plant like Pamela. Then, we spoke with garden experts about the best ways to bring height to any garden. With these tips, you'll have a Pamela-worthy outdoor space in no time.

Recreate Pamela Anderson's Look at Home

As we've stated before, Pamela Anderson's pergola is one of our absolute favorite parts of her backyard, and it's easy to bring the charm of this accent to any outdoor space.

Emily Green, garden maintenance expert at Howarth Timber advises: 'A pergola is one of the most effective ways to introduce structure and comfort to an outdoor space. It creates a defined zone for relaxing or entertaining while providing welcome shade during sunny days. For a Mediterranean-inspired look, use natural timber and climbing plants to spiral around the wood.'

We're also obsessed with the arched, plant-covered hallway that Pamela Anderson walks through on her garden tour. This look can be recreating by bringing a trellis into your vegetable garden.

'A timber trellis is a simple addition that can make a significant visual impact,' Emily recommends. 'It introduces height and texture while providing valuable support for climbing plants, helping to create a greener and more immersive outdoor environment.'

In addition to the vertical elements, how you add interest to the ground is equally important in creating the visual contrast that makes the height of Pamela's garden so successful. As she shows, landscaping with gravel or smooth stones is the perfect place to start.

Emily states: 'The pale tones of light-colored stones help reflect light, keeping spaces feeling bright and airy, while the natural texture adds depth and authenticity. Gravel is also a low-maintenance option that supports good drainage in sunny gardens.'

If you have more limited space in your small garden, you can still grow upwards like Pamela, by relying on the built spaces you already have at home. Julian Palphramand, Head of Plants at British Garden Centres, advises: 'A wall, fence, or balcony railing covered in climbing plants looks far better than a bare one and takes up almost no ground space at all. Jasmine, honeysuckle, clematis, and roses are the classic climbers, all reliable, all fragrant. A trellis or two is usually all you need to get them started.'

As gardening trends lean towards the achievable, this type of vertical gardening has grown ever more popular. 'Living walls have become genuinely practical in recent years too,' explains Julian. 'A panel of succulents or hardy perennials fixed to a fence is low maintenance, looks great year-round, and turns what's usually blank space into something worth looking at.'

Pamela teaches us that sometimes, the best things in the garden are found when we look up. It's a reminder that structures like trellises and pergolas are not only functional, but design-led additions to our outdoor spaces.

For Pamela Anderson, life is all about the simple things. She may be a world-famous model and actress, but outside of the spotlight, she prefers the sanctuary of nature, the sound of birds, and the feeling of her hands in the soil.

As major fans of her Vancouver Island farm, Homes & Gardens caught up with Pamela about how she makes gardening part of her wellness routine. Alongside her beauty products from Sonsie, the actress counts spending time in her backyard as among her most recharging activities.

'I’m allowing myself to rest right now,' explains Pamela. 'I’m taking a month in my garden to decompress after filming Alma… it was intense, and before I jump into my next film adventure. I want to think of nothing but nature.'

She tells Homes & Gardens: 'The garden is my re-entry back to myself. To begin again … it’s how the garden works. It’s full of inspiration. When in doubt. I put my sun hat on, my gardening gloves, boots, and grab my clippers and a harvest basket and head down to my garden by the sea.'

As huge fans of green therapy, we can't help but be charmed by how Pamela uses her stunning backyard as an escape from the everyday world. Harvesting vegetables, planting flowers, and pruning feel akin to making art in her eyes.

'It’s full of surprises,' she explains of her garden. 'It’s not in our full control. Nature is powerful, playful and wise. It’s a great way to start the day .. a little watering goes a long way. Tending to life, simplicity. Cutting roses for the cabins or weeding into a bucket … I love it all.'

Like her approach to beauty, Pamela likes to keep things natural, and sustainable gardening is central to her philosophy. Everything on the farm is circular.

'I keep all plant matter on the property for compost, a leaf mould, or fallen trees (natural causes),' She states. 'The wood chips and mulch come mostly from this piece of land.'

Even the products Pamela uses on her skin feed this ecosystem. Pamela's barrier moisturizer, the Adapt Cream from Sonsie, comes in compostable packaging that goes straight back into the farm when she has finished a container.

When she doesn't have her hands in her vegetable beds, Pamela still doesn't go inside. She states: 'I live on Vancouver Island… a rain forest. I’m outside rain or shine. I love feeling the rain on my face and in my hair. I love thunder and lightning. I come alive under a full moon.'

Her simple, functional outdoor furniture reflects her obsession with spending time in nature. It's elevated, but nothing is too fussy.

Pamela says: 'I have Adirondack chairs around a fire pit where we have bonfires. Or on the pier (they stay outside all year). I have my wicker too that we pull in and out depending on the weather. A blanket picnic in the wildflower field full of butterflies or on the rocky beach visited by crabs. We aren’t precious.'

The Edit: Shop Pamela's Outdoor Favorites

Pamela keeps it simple in the garden with elevated basics that tap into her classic, lived-in style. Here are our editors' picks inspired by the furniture and tools she uses everyday.

As you might expect from the way she speaks about it, Pamela's love for gardening is deeply spiritual as well as psychological.

She explains: 'I believe rosemary should be at every garden gate... it is lucky, (and is good for memory). I have St Francis watching over my garden. I love an altar inside and outside. I pray and meditate in my garden.'

Pamela's daily routine aligns with her love for gardening - the idea that good things take time feels top of mind as she moves through life on the farm.

She tells Homes & Gardens: 'I wake up, let my dogs out, feed them… then I do my Sonsie routine, light a candle at my altar for world peace, I throw my hair up in a scrunchie or scarf and get outside to walk every morning, with my mom lately.'

She continues: 'I check on my gardens daily when I’m home. I write in my journal in the morning, but sometimes at night these days. I feel clearer in the mornings, but I’m also curious about my end-of-day thoughts when they don’t come so naturally or so pretty. It’s like the waste of the day. It still needs to come out.'

Connecting with nature through gardening is not just an aesthetic practice, it can also be a huge part of our wellness and spirituality. When we view these activities holistically, that's when the real magic happens.

Though a bathroom is one of the most functional spaces in the home, that doesn't mean it can't also be the most beautiful. If this is your mission, you're in luck. Pamela Anderson recently showcased exactly how to transform a washroom into a relaxing, design-led sanctuary.

The actress took to Instagram to share her skincare routine, offering a glimpse into her Vancouver Island bathroom idea in the process. Rather than a tiled spa-like escape, the room feels like a cozy, welcoming extension of her traditional home. It features a crystal chandelier above the bathtub, burgundy paneling, and a subtle gallery wall featuring mismatched frames (adding this antique-style twisted frame from Amazon to your existing artwork would be a great place to start with recreating the look). These accents add character and subvert the tendency to turn the bathroom into a clinical space.

So, how does Pamela make her farmhouse bathroom feel elevated, where so many have failed? To deep dive, let's begin with a sneak peek into her Canadian retreat. Then, Homes & Gardens has curated an edit of the best products to recreate her look and spoke with design experts on how to combine the elements of Pamela's space in your own home.

Recreate Pamela's Look at Home

You don't need to remodel to get Pamela's look. With a subtle blend of statement lighting, unique picture frames, and red accents, you can easily create a space that feels as warm and inviting as her Vancouver Island home. These are our editors' picks to elevate your bathroom styling.

The sense of quiet luxury in Pamela Anderson's bathroom is bolstered by her choice to add accents typically found in a living room or bedroom. To recreate this look, put aside the idea that certain decor pieces don't belong in the bathroom. Make lighting, wall, and wainscotting choices that appeal to your personal style.

London-based interior designer Jordana Ashkenazi advises: 'In larger bathrooms, wall panelling can introduce warmth and a sense of quiet luxury, especially when paired with statement lighting like a stylish chandelier.'

Another element that makes Pamela Anderson's bathroom pop is her adherence to the unexpected red theory. This rule contends that integrating a pop of red in a surprising location guarantees that it will look chic. Rather than a bright elmo red, Pamela opts for a more subtle accent of berry edging, making her cream walls feel instantly elegant.

Using these shades ensures a stylish scheme. 'Berry tones are trending this year as consumers seek to make their homes cozier and more inviting,' explains interior design expert Shelley Cochrane. 'Berry offers the drama and theatre of red tones but in a more approachable and versatile way. For 2026, berry is set to be big.'

The best way to decorate with red in the way Pamela Anderon has done involves an abundance of layering. Shelly advises: 'For a deep red interior color scheme, introduce furniture in burgundy tones that catch the light and draw the room in closer, cocoon-style. Pepper with statement pieces, like armchairs in accents of terracotta, blush pink and soft berry tones.'

Then, it's time to ground the scheme. Pamela lets her space breathe with cream walls and a white bathtub, but you can also create balance with bathroom accents. Shelley recommends: 'Temper with a mix of cream via patterned accessories like a statement rug or houndstooth footstool to give the space a contemporary lift while still retaining that cosy, fireside feel of a colour-drenched red room.'

Treating the bathroom as you would any other space in the home is a recipe to a room that feels inviting, lived-in, and elevated.

The interiors trend cycle is circular - the colors, furnishings, and materials that were once reviled return at approximately 20-year intervals, gracing our homes once more. A glimpse into Pamela Anderson's backyard in 2001, which looks surprisingly on-trend, proves it.

The actress closed on a beach house in the exclusive Malibu Colony neighborhood of Los Angeles in December 2000. Built in 1959, Pamela called the property her 'little beach pad.' Its backyard fit her shabby chic, romanticized aesthetic, incorporating several elements of traditional Americana outdoor spaces. The outdoor furniture included a tiled bistro table, striped hanging swing, wooden chairs, and an adorable white and red shade. Though Pamela demolished the original structures to build an ultra-modern, sustainable teak compound in 2008, we're still taking inspiration from the tiny charming exterior of the earlier property.

Part of what makes Pamela's outdoor furniture is that it taps into one of 2026's biggest outdoor trends: the fusing of indoor and outdoor spaces. This year, homeowners want their patios to feel like a cozy and cocooning living room. To explore, let's start with a glimpse into Pamela's Malibu home. Then, Homes & Gardens has curated an edit of the best pieces to recreate her look, and interviewed designers on how they see outdoor trends evolving.

Recreate Pamela's Look at Home

Outdoor furniture trends for 2026 mirror the look that was popular in the early 2000s, as spotted in Pamela Anderson's backyard. Los Angeles-based interior designer, Shalena Smith, explains: 'This year I am seeing a shift in how clients think about their outdoor space in a more intentional way. With home prices and interest rates on the rise, people are staying put and investing in what they already have.'

She continues: 'Instead of moving into a bigger home, they’re redefining their backyard and maximizing every square inch to function as an extension of their home. In my design work, we’re adding in ADU’s, creating poolside lounges, and transforming these spaces so they feel like an outdoor living room. I recently completed a project where we added a pergola with integrated heating and lighting so the courtyard can be used year-round. In California especially, we always make sure the outdoor space can feel livable and functional throughout the year.'

So, how can you tap into this characterful look like Pamela does? 'When designing an outdoor space, I look at it like designing a living room and kitchen,' advises Shalena. 'You need to create an intentional layout that flows with dedicated zones, just like inside the home. Furniture grouping is important with a comfortable outdoor sofa, lounge chairs, and an outdoor coffee table. Another zone can include an outdoor dining table and chairs. Layering in decor such as umbrellas, pillows, and lanterns help reinforce each space.'

She adds: 'I always keep safety top of mind and make sure there's enough room to move comfortably between zones, especially in backyards with pools. I’m also noticing clients wanting more spaces for wellness in their backyards. We’re seeing requests for saunas and cold plunges, which create a spa-like environment.'

The tiles, wood, and striped fabric that we see in Pamela's backyard are also filtering into how people recreate this look. Shalena states: 'I’m gravitating toward materials that feel natural, warm, and durable, things like natural stone, teak, cast concrete, and performance outdoor fabrics. Landscaping is just as important as the furniture and finishes. We’re using hedges, trees, and layered planting not only to soften the space but to define areas and create structure.'

The eye-catching contrast of black and white will always be in style, but we've seen it so many times that it can run the risk of feeling boring. Pamela Anderson's gorgeous Vancouver Island kitchen contains the trick to avoiding this pitfall: choosing transitional decor.

A recent Instagram post from her campaign with Jacquemus shows how she embraces the classic kitchen color scheme with white cabinets and black countertops, but her mix of vintage, antique, and modern accents makes it feel completely new. Rather than leaning into a totally contemporary look, Pamela chooses retro appliances to add a storied feel to the room. She adds cozy touches like gold hardware and a homey jar of wooden spoons. This pairing makes her color scheme feel fresh and lived in.

To explore how transitional decor can update any black and white kitchen, Homes & Gardens spoke with interior designers on the popularity of this look. We also curated an edit of the best products to incorporate classic shades into your home with character. With the power of Pamela Anderson's trick behind you, your simple kitchen will never feel boring again.

To understand why Pamela's classic colors work so well, we need to dive more deeply into what transitional design looks like.

Andreas Manero, Kitchen Expert at Neolith, explains: 'Transitional kitchen design bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary styles. It combines the warmth and elegance of traditional kitchens with the clean lines, simplicity, and innovation of modern design. A transitional kitchen might feature shaker-style cabinetry paired with sleek, minimal hardware and incorporate cutting-edge materials for work surfaces.'

You can emulate this look without redoing your space by combining a variety of materials and silhouettes, using vases, appliances, and hardware to point to different periods in history. It's the ideal pairing with black and white, because it creates a gorgeous neutral base. Andreas suggests: 'When it comes to color, a neutral or muted color scheme works well as a foundation; from here you can incorporate accent colors to maintain balance and avoid overpowering the design.'

To recreate the transitional kitchen look seen in Pamela's space, Andreas recommends: 'Strive for a cohesive mix of traditional and modern elements, pair classic cabinetry with modern appliances, and a backsplash often matching the counter surface to give a contemporary look. Statement sintered stone worktops combined with matte-finish cabinetry or warm wooden accents will create a visually appealing yet cohesive design.' This look is all about living in the in-between. Suddenly, black and white becomes much more interesting.

When you combine considered materials, rich histories, and sumptuous textiles, you can create an outdoor space that feels like a true extension of the home. When Pamela Anderson teamed up with Olive Ateliers, she brought this vision to life.

Pamela worked with the renowned studio on their Spring collection, 'The Sentimentalist,' to build furnishings reflecting a relationship with objects worn into familiarity.

The inspiration for this outdoor furniture comes from Anderson's memories of her Grandmother’s farm along the Salish Sea. Pieces are crafted with natural rattan, solid teak, and performance fabric for a collection that is as durable as it is stylish includes loungers, reading chairs with matching ottomans, generous settees, dining chairs and tables, woven coffee and side tables, stools, baskets, a dog bed, and softly curved armchairs, with upholstered pieces paired with fabrics in a mixed blue stripe or classic ivory.

Pamela states: 'I grew up by the sea. I remember our tiny cabin on the dock, the wood turned silver from years of salt and weather. I’ve always been drawn to things that age and soften; furniture that holds you at dawn, that grows more beautiful the more you live with it. The best pieces become part of your rituals. When I met Olive Ateliers a couple of years ago, I recognized that same reverence for imperfection and sentiment. They don’t chase design trends; they honor time. This collection feels like home to me. It’s unpretentious, a little French, a little wild. It’s meant to be used, worn in, and lived with.'

Shop The Pamela Anderson x Olive Ateliers Edit

Kendall Knox, Co-Founder & Chief Brand Officer of Olive Ateliers explaint the materials and choices for the collection. She states: 'Pamela and I are both innately nostalgic. We’ve connected over the rituals that shape our days: jazz, time in the garden, and a deep appreciation for objects with history. When we chose to embark on our first-ever design collaboration, it had to be with someone we truly admired, someone whose presence has remained timeless by staying entirely authentic.'

She continues: 'The Sentimentalist feels like the most natural reflection of that shared sensibility, unfussy and romantic. Each piece is designed to age beautifully, to hold you, to know you, to feel like a deep, unspoken exhale.' This sentiment comes through in the use of natural rattan and stylish teak.

Laura Sotelo, Co-Founder & Chief Merchandising Officer advises: 'We wanted the pieces to feel instantly familiar, like they’ve already been part of your story. We chose natural rattan and teak because they’re so beautifully shaped by light, exposure, and time. It moves easily from sunrooms and sitting rooms to porches, parlors, gardens, and the quiet spaces in between.'

The pieces are seamlessly styled with a variety of textiles. I love the look of rattan paired with crisp linen. On a tablescape, it would also be beautiful with cut glassware for a stunning contrast between laid back style and luxury.

Everything Pamela Anderson touches seems to turn to gold, and this gorgeous collection with Olive Ateliers is no exception. The combination of beautiful materials and philosophy cannot be beaten.

Ever since she moved back to her childhood home on Vancouver Island, Canada, Pamela Anderson has offered us endless inspiration with her natural, intuitive approach to homekeeping. Now, the actress has formalized her guidance by sharing the seven simple rules that guide her. They're ideal for gardening and life.

Pamela worked with her skincare brand Sonsie to produce a beautiful, uplifting video sharing her most important garden ideas. Each is more inspiring and philosophical than the last, but with a practical bent that you can easily apply to your planting this fall.

The Last Showgirl star explains poetically at the beginning of the video: 'They say the way you tend to something shapes what it becomes. What you nurture nurtures you back. Passed down, plucked, and practiced.' We're intrigued.

Her rules have the same magical quality, drawing on the connection between gardening and wellbeing and emphasizing nourishment and patience, two of the most important skills to becoming a master gardener.

Whether you're starting a garden from scratch or already have several years of planting under your belt, they offer ideas to nurture at the very least. In Pamela's words, here's how to garden.

Pamela's Gardening Rules

1. 'Rule number one, no hovering. Give it what it needs and leave it be. Hovering never helped anything grow.'
2. 'Rule number two, handle everything with love. It remembers how you treat it.'
3. 'The third thing to know, never aim for perfection. Let the mess become the magic.'
4. 'Rule number four, always look below the surface. That's where the real work happens.'
5. 'Rule number five goes for just about everything. Stick to a rhythm. You don't rush something you want to last.'
6. 'Number six. Trust this one. Let it evolve. There's beauty in the becoming.'
7. 'Last one. Lucky number seven. Maybe the most important. Just let it be. The differences are what make it beautiful.'

Essentials for Gardening Like Pamela

From a top-rated pair of pruners to a great watering can, the right tools can completely overhaul your gardening practice. Here are our top picks based on what we see in Pamela's home.

Gardening is more than a pastime; it can be a meditative practice and way to connect more deeply to ourselves. Pamela's rules are a beautiful reminder.

Though the quiet luxury era was fun, we're in the mood for bigger, brighter, and most importantly, bolder colors and silhouettes in the latter half of the decade. Apparently, so is Pamela Anderson.

The actress took to Instagram to share an adorable video dancing in her neutral outfit, but we were equally intrigued by the bright backdrop of her dining room. Pamela's space is awash with primary colors. It features red walls and, intriguingly, cobalt blue dining chairs.

If the newly crowned queen of domesticity condones it, it's clear this brighter option for dining room seating is more than a blip; it's a rising interior design trend.

Design experts second Pamela's implicit endorsement of the newfound popularity of decorating with blue, rather than with neutrals.

Karl Openshaw, designer at Blocc House of Interiors predicts that cobalt will be one of the most popular colors of 2026. He advises: 'If you’re looking to create a sense of calm with a touch of mystery, this is the shade for you. Incorporate it into an accent wall or go bold with a cobalt velvet sofa or striking art pieces. It’s a shade that feels both modern and timeless, effortlessly blending into contemporary and classic interiors alike.'

Though blue is Pamela's striking choice, it's possible to tap into this emerging dining room trend with a range of primary colors. They are all on trend.

Karl explains: 'For 2026, we’re seeing a bold resurgence of the primary color palette. Red, yellow, and blue, those three iconic hues, are not just nostalgic but are set to define the interiors of tomorrow in ways that feel fresh, unexpected, and exciting. Somewhat of a rebellion against ‘adult’ interior design schemes.'

Clearly 2026 is the time to be bold. Reject old ideas of neutrality and quiet design in favor of more characterful, cocooning spaces. Now that we know Pamela Anderson is on board, so are we.

Pickles paired with dried rose petals sounds like an odd combination, but when you learn they're made by Pamela Anderson, it somehow makes perfect, delicious sense.

In an act that will permanently alter garden trends, the actress turned lifestyle guru has expanded her family tradition of pickling on Vancouver Island into something we can all take part in: Pamela's Pickles from Flamingo Estate.

The briny condiments are a positive herb garden of flavors. They are loosely based on the recipe Pamela's Great Aunt Vie's award-winning pickles, featuring dill, mustard, and garlic. Pamela then added a personal twist of dried rose petals for a subtle floral flavor and stunning color.

Finally, Flamingo Estate integrated its signature flavors with pink peppercorn, guajillo chile, and smoky sea salt. According to representatives, the result is 'a garden in a jar.'

According to the experts, pickle fever is nothing new. In fact, interest in the snack has been going strong for over 10 years. Eoghan Flynn, Food and Drinks Trend Forecaster at WGSN, explains: 'WGSN identified pickle as a flavour to watch way back in 2015. Since then, consumers have celebrated its polarising fermented, tangy and briny taste.'

Shop the Pickling Edit

However, with its complex flavor profile, Pamela's recipe especially taps into the most popular summer food trends of the moment.

Eoghan tells Homes & Gardens: 'Today, #PicklePower continues to reign as consumers increasingly gravitate towards more complex, intense profiles that layer spicy, sour, sweet, bitter, and salty flavors.'

He continues: 'With the recipe for Pamela’s Pickles passed down to Pamela Anderson by her great aunt, the release taps into rising consumer desire for comforting and nostalgic eats, while also leveraging the on-trend profile for an intriguing flavor combination.'

Whether it's cleaning with pickle juice or simply cracking open a jar of gherkins on a hot day, the celebrated cukes are an increasing part of our daily lives. Thanks to Pamela Anderson, they've gotten a whole new look.

It's hard to find a furnishing material as beloved as rattan. From designers to celebrities and real estate agents, this natural weave is relied on to upgrade a space's aesthetic, and this includes outdoors. Take Pamela Anderson’s porch as an example.

Rustic charm meets quiet luxury in the model's Vancouver Island property, and the charming porch foreshadows this decorating ideology perfectly. There are many front porch ideas to steal from Pamela's space, from the terracotta planets to the white-painted façade that contrasts with the black front door.

The defining feature, however, comes in the shape of the rattan sofa that brings a sense of retro charm to the nostalgic patio. It's beautifully simple, yet stylish and easy to follow on your patio. Plus, as real estate agents share, following her example could add curb appeal and ultimately make your home more sellable.

Shop the look

'When I help a family plan a porch or patio, I often reach for rattan first. The woven surface and soft curves feel friendly the moment you sit down. Even after design trends come and go, the look of rattan seems fresh because it copies shapes we see in nature. A chair can sit beside sleek glass doors or an old brick wall and feel right at home, which makes rattan a safe choice for every style,' comments Eric Bramlett, a realtor and owner of Bramlett Real Estate.

Rattan's aesthetic appeal needs no long description, but as Eric explains, this beautiful weave is highly durable, making it the pefect choice for an outdoor space like a porch.

'Modern makers give rattan strength that older pieces never had. Many sets use resin fibres that shrug off sun and rain, so the strands stay bright and the weave stays tight even after many summers. You can leave the furniture outside when clouds roll in and trust that it will look the same when the sky clears,' he says.

'From my desk as both realtor and designer, I see another bonus. A porch dressed in rattan feels like an extra room, and that additional living space catches the eye of buyers the moment they walk up the steps. Good looks that last many seasons save owners from constant replacements and keep the whole property feeling cared for.'

Plus, while rattan outdoor furniture can be an investment, you can rest assured that these pieces will look just as beautiful in a decade from now.

'Rttan stays on my short list. It looks timeless, resists harsh weather, invites easy care, moves wherever you need it, and treats the earth with respect. Bring a few pieces to your porch or garden, and you will quickly see why this simple material never loses its charm,' Eric adds. Plus, if it's Pamela-approved, we already have all the reasons we need to make the purchase.

As a Celebrity Style news writer, most of my days are taken up trawling through images of famous people's homes and gardens. When I come across something truly notable, it stops me in my tracks, and Pamela Anderson's patio is one such space. Her intricate green furniture is stunning.

I spotted Pamela's outdoor furniture in a recent Instagram post, where she perched on a weathered wooden path extending from her pergola. In the background, the porch features a set of four green wire chairs and a table that creates a welcoming feel. Curved walkway lights provide clarity down her light wood garden path, illuminating the small hedges in her raised beds.

The wrought iron furniture is what really drew me to Pamela's space. Its curly cue design and green color feel like an extension of the surrounding vines and plants. It's the perfect complement to the straight wooden lines of the classic pergola overhead.

Shop Pamela Anderson's outdoor furniture

Luckily, you don't need a celebrity budget to get a celebrity look. I combed through some of my favorite retailers' sites to find lookalike patio furniture to the pieces on Pamela Anderson's walkway for unbelievable prices.

Buying outdoor furniture can be just as complicated, and just as stylish, as shopping for the interior of your home. Looking for inspiration in some of the world's best gardens is a great place to start.

Canopy beds are one of the most effortlessly regal and elegant places to sleep. Though these poster designs were considered dated up until last year, Pamela Anderson's bedroom is the harbinger of their resurgence.

The actress took to Instagram to share her skincare routine, capturing her bed canopy in the background. Her four-poster is made of dark wood, styled with a light blue scalloped linen drape. She has added a white cotton quilt and a blue striped bedskirt.

A renewed interest in the canopy bed as a 2025 interior design trend can be attributed to the general rise in the popularity of 19th-century aesthetics.

Andrew Seed, design expert at The Odd Company explains: 'Victorian influences are set to make a major comeback in 2025. This trend is about creating spaces that feel both luxurious and curated over time, with plenty of patterns, textiles, and rich decorative touches.'

Shop the Look

Thus, canopies are the best way to integrate the Victorian aesthetic with bedroom trends.

Andrew states: 'One of the standout features will be the resurgence of bed canopies, with Pinterest searches for them having soared by 30% over the last year. Bed canopies don’t only bring a regal vibe to bedrooms, but they also offer an extra touch of privacy. With four-poster beds also trending, there’s no doubt that 2025 is shaping up to be about bedrooms that are romantic and regal.'

The rest of Pamela's bedroom idea also fits into this trend. From the carefully draped bedskirt to the patterned wallpaper, the space is rich with period texture.

Andrew explains that these textiles are making a return, just like the canopy bed. He states: 'A well-placed bed skirt gives the bed that soft, finished look while hiding any under-bed clutter. The Victorians were all about ruffles and drapes, so the more detail, the better.'

If you love the Victorian style, but aren't sure about the upkeep of a classic canopy bed, there are other options to tap into the style with slightly less commitment. 'Antique-style gold bed frames are another hot trend,' Andrew recommends. 'Expect to see these unique, artistic frames serving as the true centre of the bedroom.'

No matter your bedroom style, a canopy bed is an interesting way to elevate it. Take it from Pamela Anderson.

Personalized design is what turns a house into a home, and the same is true in the garden. Selecting structures and garden furniture that enhance your lifestyle and reflect your personality turns a backyard into an oasis. Pamela Anderson's pergola is the perfect example.

The actress took to Instagram to share a picture of herself relaxing on the wooden steps in her garden, and it's absolutely beautiful. In the background, an arched pergola creates the perfect setting for a dining area, complete with four chairs and a table. Small bushes and herbs fill the beds on either side of the walkway, interspersed by small garden lamps.

Pamela's dining area takes inspiration from many of the most beautiful gardens of the past.

Designing a pergola is a versatile staple in many European gardens. 'A pergola is a structure often used in the garden to create a sheltered or shaded space,' explains Mark Holloway, garden furniture expert at Holloways of Ludlow. 'They are often used as additional seating areas, but in some cases are even used for dining or outdoor kitchen areas.'

What are the benefits of building a pergola on a deck?

Mark states: 'Pergolas are the perfect addition to a garden if you’re looking to create zones within the space. The structure works by splitting up the garden into different use areas, just as we do in the home. Not only are pergolas used for functionality, they are also a great way to add an area of interest to your garden with an aesthetically pleasing and elevated look.'

Furthermore, Pamela's design is slated to become one of the biggest garden trends for summer 2025. Pinterest data shows a 40% increase in searches for pergola decorating ideas over the past month.

'The popularity of pergolas has grown significantly over recent years,' Mark tells Homes & Gardens. This is for several reasons, one of which is that they offer a shelter from the elements, whether that be rain or sun, a pergola allows you to use your garden no matter what the weather.'

Using a pergola for privacy planting is another reason that these structures are growing in popularity. Mark states: 'A pergola also offers privacy in gardens which are overlooked. The shelter provided by the pergola not only protects from the weather but also onlookers, giving you privacy from neighbours and passersby.'

Aside from the practical benefits, pergola roofs are trending for their timeless aesthetic appeal.

Mark explains: 'Pergolas are a great way to add a chic, European feel to your garden, which is perfect ahead of the Summer months. Adding a pergola to your garden will also give it a more luxurious feel, elevating the space and transforming it into an outdoor space perfect to relax and unwind in.'

Luckily, installing a pergola in your own yard (and avoiding pergola mistakes) is easier than it appears.

Mark advises: 'To create a space that instantly transforms you to an Italian veranda, stick to neutral shades of cream, whites, browns and green, focusing on keeping it feeling bright and airy. Add greenery with plants to bring together the look of the space and keep it feeling calming and fresh.'

For a more maximalist scheme, you can brighten the look with the right outdoor furniture.

If you want to give your garden an eye-catching and colorful look, a pergola is the perfect space to incorporate the maximalist trend. 'Bright pops of color with pink, yellow, orange, blue, and green work great in this space. Utilise a mix of colours through the furniture, rugs, and other accessories you choose to guarantee a welcoming, cozy, and striking space.'

If Pamela Anderson is doing it, it's good enough for us. Pergolas are the yard-defining trend we are most looking forward to this summer.

Every bloom in a bouquet tells a story. In Pamela Anderson's Mother's Day arrangements, each flower stands on its own and also comes together for a stunning final product.

We spotted the actress's gorgeous bouquets in a recent Instagram post, and they're a masterclass in arranging flowers like a pro. To understand what makes Pamela's arrangments so stunning, we consulted with Rachel Bull, master gardener and Head of Gardens at Homes & Gardens. We discussed what makes these bouquets special, and the pieces you need to recreate them.

The first thing she notices is how the bouquets have a distinctly modern feel that taps into 2025 floral trends. Rachel explains: 'They are defintely contemporary arrangements, I'd say. All very bold flower choices.'

Shop Editor's Pick Vases

No matter your flowers, choosing the best vase extends their longevity and allows you to display them in the prettiest way possible. Here are a few of my favorite glass vases, to echo Pamela's look.

Furthermore, instead of using traditional leafy sprigs, Pamela's bouquets integrate green with an alternative pick: green fragrant flowers. Rachel explains: 'So instead of using a lot of foliage, the green comes through in the choice of green flowers, which is in-keeping with such a bold style where every single flower has a starring role.'

What blooms feature in Pamela's summer flower arrangement? Rachel spots green hydrangeas, bells of Ireland and viburnum opulus roseum are the lime balls in the arrangement on the left.

She states: 'Big cymbidium orchids are in there, lots of roses, spray roses. I can also see jasmine trails coming from the vase on the left (not in flower yet) - so there would be a more delicate touch added from that and of course scent. That will help to soften the large blooms.'

Better yet, Rachel explains that you don't have to worry about how to keep flowers fresh in a vase with these blooms. She remarks: 'These arrangements would be super long-lasting, as all these flowers are hardy in a vase.'

Pamela Anderson is one of our favorite arbiters of taste, and this extends to her choice of flowers. Follow in her footsteps, and your arrangements will always stun.

All eyes were on Pamela Anderson as she walked the Met Gala red carpet in New York last night. However, while we're inevitably scrolling (and discussing) our favorite looks, I am simultaneously preoccupied with her monochromatic kitchen on Vancouver Island – or, more specifically, her banquette seating, one of the cleverest uses of 'dead space' I've ever seen.

Like many of us, Pamela has an awkward corner that, at a glance, does not sell itself as a spacious dining area. However, the model utilized banquette seating to create a bespoke, innovative corner that's as perfect for quick breakfasts as it is for intimate dinner parties (thanks to its conversational seating method).

If you're looking for a kitchen seating idea that makes the most of harsh corners, you could do far worse than follow Pamela's example.

Shop the look

In her dining nook, Pamela pairs curved white banquette seating with a rustic table before tying the look together with a statement print and chandelier. The banquette seating faces antique-style dining chairs to create a conversational corner that encourages socializing, making it the perfect place to hold more intimate dinner parties.

While I'm sure Pamela's home is far from compact, her seating method is perfect for small kitchens like mine. It proves that you don't need excess space to form an area that's large enough for hosting, you just need to be smart about the room you do have. Plus, I am not alone in my thoughts. It's surprising that banquette seating, like Pamela's, is shaping kitchen trends for 2025, but when you consider its qualities, I'm sure it's more than a fleeting fad.

'Separating the dining area from the kitchen can be an effective way to create a peaceful, comfortable seating nook that provides the perfect versatile backdrop for family dinners and busy breakfast times. This can help reduce noise and clutter from kitchen food prep while often being a more efficient use of space than a full dining room,' says Stacey Cobley, a senior designer at Harvey Jones.

Alongside utilizing an unused corner, Stacey adds that you can make use of bay windows to create a dining space in the smallest of rooms. To conclude, she suggests incorporating personality with colored cushions (including neutrals like Pamela's), and throws, which add further texture when we arrive at the cooler months.

Since the release of her cookbook, I Love You, Pamela Anderson has been the blueprint for all things homemaking. Her natural and gentle approach to cleaning, cooking, and decorating seem to move at just the pace the culture is atuned to in the current moment. Now, Anderson is bringing this ethos to one of the most widely dreaded household chores: laundry.

'I love doing laundry, that's why I partnered with The Laundress,' the actress explains in a recent YouTube video with the luxury detergent brand. 'I don't look at laundry as a chore. I look at it as a time to kind of getaway, time for yourself. It's meditative, I play a little music. This is honestly, my happy place,' she smiles looking around at her all-white laundry room. 'I have two boys and I've always had white houses and lots of white blankets so yeah it's always been a journey.'

What are the laundry hacks that Anderson uses to make washing up fun? For one, she opts for premium laundry care that she loves the fragrance in. ''The good thing is, this already smells good,' she smiles, holding up a bottle of The Laundress's Signature Detergent. 'I'm obsessed with roses, and this smells like roses. You just got to have fun with everything you do. I think that's been kind of my thing is that no matter what you're doing you're just having some fun.' Something as simple as fragrance can add this pop of brightness.

Anderson's laundry hacks don't stop there. She also makes the process fun by adding music, and a beverage. The actress tells The Laundress: 'For laundry day, I love Elvis and Nina Simone.' While she dances around her laundry room, she sips on a cup of coffee, or the occasional glass of rose.

She keeps her laundry routine fresh by drying fabrics outside whenever possible. 'I like to take advantage of the crisp, morning air. It also helps to change up the scenery!' explains Anderson. In the video, we see her hanging her beautiful white sheets by the water near her home. With a view like that, who could complain. this idea fits in well with Anderson's final advice for making laundry fun, which is to maintain a light heart. She exclaims: 'No matter what your routine is, just make sure you’re having some fun.'

According to Pamela Anderson, enjoying laundry is all about integrating joy into the small things. Using the most fabulous smelling detergent doesn't hurt either.

Actress and model Pamela Anderson has forever been a beloved style icon, and her effortlessly chic look is perfectly reflected in her home. The Last Showgirl star showcased her stunning kitchen in a snap on Instagram, demonstrating her thoughtful design and acumen for creating lasting elegance whilst maintaining a warm and homely feel.

The picture shows the actress in a white dress, which mirrors the crisp white walls and cabinetry surrounding her. The bright white is contrasted with the classic monochromatic tiling bordered by traditional hardwood flooring. This juxtaposition makes the kitchen island feel like a separate zone from the rest of her kitchen – creating an area that feels more social than the place where the actress prepares food.

Alongside zoning the kitchen, Anderson's tiles emphasize the versatility of a black-and-white color scheme – simultaneously tapping into the quiet luxury and rustic farmhouse design aesthetics. The kitchen includes a glamorous crystal chandelier accenting the timeless white wooden beam features on the ceiling. Anderson’s eye for design hasn’t gone unnoticed by experts. Interior designer Nina Lichtenstein describes the star’s space as ‘a masterclass in monochrome’.

The Modern Black and White Kitchen Edit

Lichtenstein comments on the impact of the contrasting flooring, explaining how ‘The combination of patterns and materials anchors the space, drawing attention to the island as a functional centerpiece while highlighting the geometric beauty of the tile.’

On the kitchen island itself, she describes how it ‘sits harmoniously within the monochromatic tile, creating a stunning contrast that is further complemented by the surrounding natural wood elements.’

The designer also comments on Anderson’s choice of furnishings, saying: ‘black metal swivel stools with wood seats echo the interplay of tones, beautifully tying the room together and ensuring every design element feels intentional,' she comments.

'The white wood-paneled walls and natural wood window trim enhance the overall aesthetic, pulling the eye toward the carefully framed tilework below and the island above. The black-and-white tiles provide more than just a visual statement – they introduce rhythm and energy to the kitchen. By breaking up the organic textures of wood with a bold, structured pattern, they create a dynamic balance between modern sophistication and rustic charm. This juxtaposition ensures the space feels both timeless and inviting.’

‘Monochromatic tiles like these are a strategic design choice for defining specific zones within an open space, as seen in Anderson’s kitchen. They draw attention to focal points, such as the island, while adding texture and movement to the floor. The natural wood trim acts as a bridge, uniting the boldness and crispness of the tiles with the organic warmth and charm of the wood flooring.’

Lichtenstein finishes by saying, ‘Anderson’s kitchen demonstrates how even the simplest black-and-white palette can make a space feel bold yet cohesive. By grounding the island in this high-contrast design, she proves that the right flooring can transform a kitchen into a harmonious blend of art and functionality.’

Integrating monochromatic tiles into your space is a perfect way to create interest through contrasting designs. They can blend seamlessly with natural wooden elements, as evidenced by Pamela Anderson’s beautiful kitchen.

There's nothing like a reclaimed wood statement piece to bring a rustic element into a space. However, some of us want to counterbalance nature with some contemporary or modern elements. We are getting inspiration from none other than Pamela Anderson.

The model and actor, who resides at a restored property on Vancouver Island, shared a snap of her breakfast nook to her Instagram page, and it gave us some stunning modern rustic decor ideas. Anderson has opted to pair her reclaimed wood dining table with a crystal chandelier hanging above. A statement portrait, handsomely framed in black and white, looms in the background.

According to design experts, furnishing with reclaimed wood is not only environmentally friendly but an incredibly stylish and unique way to decorate any room. 'Reclaimed items like wood are one of the most compelling design elements in modern interiors, evoking a sense of history, craftsmanship, and sustainability,' explains Westchester-based designer Nina Lichtenstein.

She continues, 'Its rustic charm can ground a room, while its unique imperfections and rich patina add visual depth. But the key to successfully styling reclaimed wood — whether it’s a dining table, coffee table, or an accent wall — lies in striking the right balance between rustic decor and modern, so the space feels fresh rather than overly distressed or antique.'

One of the primary ways to ensure a room, like Pamela Anderson's breakfast nook, feels rustic and modern in equal measure is by placing items that fit within each category in a space. 'To harmonize rustic reclaimed wood with modern design sensibilities, start with contrast,' Lichtenstein says. 'The natural, weathered look of reclaimed wood pairs beautifully with sleek and minimalist elements, creating a dynamic and sophisticated juxtaposition. Opt for clean lines and contemporary silhouettes in surrounding furniture, such as a slim metal or upholstered chair to accompany a reclaimed wood table.'

Naturally, mixing materials is a fantastic way to achieve a balanced space, and this stands true for glass accessories. 'Clear or colored glass pieces — whether vases, bowls, or modern sculptures — contrast beautifully with the ruggedness of wood,' Lichtenstein says. 'Their transparency and smoothness introduce a sense of lightness that balances the wood's tactile nature.'

The delicate crystals hanging from Anderson's chandelier are the perfect contrast against the sturdy wood table, tapping into a hard and soft blend. Alternatively, a different kind of bold material can infuse a more natural or rustic space with a necessary dose of modernity. 'Metals, especially in matte black, brass, or brushed nickel, add a modern, industrial feel to reclaimed wood,' Lichtenstein says. 'Opt for a sculptural metal bowl or a geometric metal candleholder as a centerpiece on a reclaimed wood table for a striking yet balanced look.'

We also recommend sticking to a neutral color palette in rooms with reclaimed wood furnishings. This ensures that any modern elements fit in seamlessly, and don't look out of place. Pamela Anderson's breakfast nook is the perfect inspiration.

Pamela Anderson is one of the most recognizable faces in the world, often associated with the glitz and glamor of Hollywood thanks to her iconic Baywatch status. Yet, there's no doubt that her love for nature and simplicity runs deep. The actress and famed model has recently been turning heads with her sustainable lifestyle and her beautifully maintained kitchen garden.

Anderson, a known animal rights activist and an Honorary Peta Director, has offered a peek into her picturesque kitchen garden via an Instagram post simply captioned: 'Summer Love.' The self-proclaimed 'naughty vegan' shared a glimpse at her passion for homegrown produce with a photo of her enviable raised garden beds, brimming with lush salad leaves and fresh vegetables.

Anderson's vibrant vegetable patch is a testament to her green thumb and her love for 'the good life.' Plus, experts agree that tending to your own raised garden beds is not only a rewarding activity but also simple enough for anyone to try at home. After all, what could be more wholesome than growing fresh summer salads right in your backyard?

'Raised garden beds have been all the rage lately, and for good reason,' explains Michael Clarke, Founder of Yardwork. 'Many gardeners love the structured, clean look these beds bring to a garden and appreciate how easy they are to maintain, without the extra bending, kneeling, and squatting that traditional garden beds require.'

These practical kitchen garden features are also perfect for anyone looking to grow their own vegetables and salad leaves at home. 'Anderson is growing some great cucurbits in her raised beds, including zucchini and squashes,' explains eagle-eyed Drew Swainston, Garden Editor at Homes & Gardens. 'These crops are fantastic options for raised beds as they need good drainage and do not like to sit in wet soil. Compact varieties of zucchini and squash are ideal for raised beds if you are short of space, though you can grow both crops vertically to save space.'

'There are also many lettuces growing in some of the other raised beds and, again, they will enjoy good drainage, loose soil, and being watered at ground level,' Swainston adds.

How to try this trend at home

If you would like to give this popular garden trend a go, Michael Clarke offers some practical advice for those looking to create their own raised beds:

'When constructing your own, we recommend using 2x6 or 2x8 redwood, teak, or white oak wood that can be screwed to 4x4 redwood posts for stability. Next, staple water-permeable landscape or weed-blocking fabric across the bottom and then fill the bed with a 50/50 planter mix that contains a good organic fertilizer.'

Follow these simple instructions, and you'll have a thriving vegetable plot to rival Anderson's garden in no time. Alternatively, you can purchase a premade raised garden bed for under $50, such as this Humphery Galvanized Steel Raised Garden Bed from Wayfair.

'Anderson also has drip irrigation lines in her raised beds, and they offer an ideal way to water plants deeply,' adds Drew Swainston. 'This form of irrigation deeply waters plants down to the root zone and also removes the risk of powdery mildew or other fungal diseases that can occur through overhead watering.' You can purchase an easy-to-install 50Ft Drip Irrigation Kit from Wayfair for only $23.99.

What To Plant In Your Raised Beds

Pamela Anderson’s garden beautifully illustrates the joy and satisfaction of growing your own food. Whether you’re an experienced gardener or a total novice, why not embrace a more sustainable lifestyle by trying this wholesome trend yourself? It’s a simple yet rewarding way to connect with nature and get fresh, homegrown produce onto your plate.

The renovation of Pamela Anderson's home in Canada has been a sight to behold. Pamela's picturesque, coastal house has received a swift and thorough makeover into a stylish modern home that retains its unique antique charm. No room better epitomizes this energy than Pamela's farmhouse chic bedroom. The actress and model's sleeping chambers are cozy and rustic, with a glamorous edge.

Pamela's bedroom decor includes arched, exposed wood ceilings and traditional pink and white floral bedding and curtains juxtaposed with bright white walls and a crystal chandelier. The room is at once homey and elegant. It perfectly embodies the modern rustic farmhouse trend.

Interior designers are in love with how Pamela has followed this popular bedroom trend. Carlin van Noppen, the founder and head interior designer at Fig Linens and Home states: 'To me, Pamela Anderson's bedroom is the perfect blend of classic, antique interiors with a warm modern allure. As a bedding expert, the farmhouse bedding is the first thing that stands out to me. The white duvet with pink flowers has a warm, classic feel and I love the way it coordinates with the curtains. I love that it's simultaneously feminine and sturdy.'

The bedroom ceiling and bedroom lighting are two more points that elevate the otherwise simple room in Pamela Anderson's home. Jennifer Ebert, digital editor at Homes & Gardens says, 'The exposed wood and horizontal beams in Pamela's home offer that cozy natural feel that we crave in a modern farmhouse setting. Juxtaposed with the crystal chandelier, it creates a fabulous shabby chic vibe that I think we'll be seeing a lot more of in 2024.'

Jen continues, 'We've seen a huge increase in modern rustic farmhouse aesthetics across the board. I think people like the idea of a space that has the feel of the cottage-core trend without the exclusive commitment to that woodsy energy. Modern farmhouse encapsulates elements of this alongside a more sleek, contemporary style.'

Fans have watched in awe as Pamela Anderson renovates her family's beautiful home on the coast of Vancouver Island on her HGTV show Pamela's Garden of Eden. One of the most aspirational elements of the former model's 'Ladysmith' property is the organic garden. Pamela took to Instagram to share a sweet birthday video working in the garden, planting away, and gardening aficionados were quick to notice her method.

'Pamela Anderson’s garden is an impressive set-up of newly created, deep-raised beds filled to the brim with beautiful, fresh compost that will be packed with nutrients,' states Rachel Bull, head of gardens at Homes & Gardens. She continues, 'It looks like she is getting busy bedding in a multitude of tomato plants, chilis, and rosemary shrubs. Tomatoes have deep root systems, so will enjoy growing in such substantial raised beds. I’m sure there are more vegetables and herbs in the mix, too.'

As for Pamela's planting technique, Rachel says: 'Pamela has opted for the no-dig method of gardening, of which I’m also an advocate.' This type of permaculture gardening involves mulching over soil with compost instead of digging into it. It is popular for organic vegetable gardens and flower beds.  'There are so many benefits to growing in this way,' says Rachel. 'The key ones for me are fewer weeds, it saves time, the beds retain moisture better and it’s a more eco-friendly option for your backyard.'

The vegetable garden hack is a masterclass in organic gardening. 'There are two amazingly helpful tips we can take away from how Pamela is planting her crops,' states Rachel. 'Firstly, she has placed each pot on the soil before planting, thereby she can be certain there will be enough space between each plant and her beds will look neat and organized,' she continues. Planning a garden is essential for both aesthetics and planting success. 

'Secondly, she has placed the plant label at the base of each variety, which is so important, so that you don’t forget which variety of vegetable or herb it is. Believe me, you think you’ll remember, but even if you have a small garden it is so easy to forget,' says Rachel.

She adds, 'Kitchen gardening on this scale requires a lot of work, so I hope she has some help on hand to assist with harvest time.'

Whether you're a gardening novice or an expert, Pamela Anderson's vegetable garden can provide some much needed inspiration. 

As evidenced by her makeup-free appearances on the runway, Pamela Anderson knows something about timeless beauty, and the model seems to employ the same elegant attitude in her approach to interior design. 

In her recent renovation of her family's Canadian home in Ladysmith, British Columbia, Pamela has chosen a pared-back, classic color scheme updated with modern details for a warm and contemporary style. One of our favorite rooms is the quiet luxury kitchen, which uses an eclectic mix of black and white tiles and medium-dark hardwood as flooring. 

Design experts say that checked flooring, especially in black and white, will be one of the biggest interior design trends of 2024. 

Barrie Kutchie, design director of BC Designs, reported that checkered flooring will be a huge flooring trend this upcoming year. He says, 'Checkerboard floor is a great way of adding pattern and color to a space, without it becoming too complicated or over the top.' Barrie continues, 'Checkerboard floor has a long history, but used with modern color palettes, it is a great way of bringing contemporary and traditional styles together.' This trend fits especially well into kitchen decor because it can add a touch of pattern to an otherwise functional space.

However, rather than choosing only one kitchen flooring option, Pamela has opted to add texture and durability by selecting a warm wood to pair with the black and white tiles. This not only makes her kitchen look more stylish, but the use of wood will also help her kitchen flooring to last for longer.

Neel Bradham, CEO at Parador, a global flooring company, states: 'As the heart of the home, a kitchen design scheme needs to beautifully merge durability with style. Although flooring might not seem like an initial priority when designing a kitchen scheme, it forms the foundation of the room and needs to last in such a high-traffic space.'

He continues, explaining that engineered natural wood is one of the most timeless materials for a kitchen floor. Neel states: 'Engineered wood is one of the oldest floor coverings in existence, and its naturalness has fascinated people for centuries. This type of flooring is a natural and environmentally friendly floor covering that lasts for generations, as it can be repeatedly refurbished and restored to its original state.' 

The wood kitchen flooring in Pamela's kitchen creates a beautiful contrast with the black and white tiles, adds warmth and acts as an incredibly hard-wearing surface.

If analyzing hundreds of beautiful spaces each week has taught us anything, it's that quiet luxury design isn't going anywhere. Pamela Anderson's elegant kitchen is more proof of this, and we're excited to see her understated flooring scheme appearing everywhere in 2024. 

The terms 'warm minimalism' and 'quiet luxury' have equally dominated design discussions in recent months but for a good reason. Both these aesthetics are timeless enough to transcend fleeting trends – and they're versatile enough to work in every style of home, not least Pamela Anderson's. 

The model-turned-actress, best known for Baywatch, shared a look inside her white living room – exhibiting soft white painted walls, indulgent marble furniture, and brassy gold finishes (all of which tap into the quiet luxury trend). 

To tie her space together – and interrupt her primarily monochromatic color palette – Pamela hung a large modernist artwork above her fireplace. And it's a look that hasn't gone unnoticed by interior designers, who say we should draw inspiration from this warm minimalist space. 

As interior designer Anne Haimes explains, 'gold accents, warm wood tones, and cream furnishings' all contribute to creating a timeless 'warm minimalist' aesthetic, and this look will continue to shape color trends long into the future. Just like 'quiet luxury', 'warm minimalism' reminds us that neutrals are by no means boring and can, instead, serve as an enduring backdrop to more daring pieces – much like Pamela's artwork. 

'We’re seeing the return of minimalism, but in a more sophisticated and homelier manner than we’ve seen previously,' Anne explains in the discussion of this 'design trend.' 'Warm wood tones and natural textures will become a feature of themselves without compromising the simplicity and cleanliness of minimalist styles.'

When it comes to decorating with art, Bren Petrunick, the creative founder of Simply White Interiors, also encourages us to follow Pamela's lead. 

'A heavily furnished room with lots of patterns and colors doesn’t need an abundance of wall art to tie the design together. On the contrary, a more minimalistic furniture layout lends itself to featuring large prints on walls,' he says. 

'As a general rule, every wall does not need to be covered. Often, the best design is completed in stages, with time dedicated to taking in each new layer and letting your eye wander as it discovers blank pockets that need attention or areas of concentration that should be more evenly dispersed.'

From the art to the furniture, we're entirely inspired. And we're buying our way into Pamela's white living room with these inspired buys below.

Canadian actress, model, and activist, Pamela Anderson has just listed her home in western Los Angeles for $14.9 million. 

Pamela, who is best known for her role as the beach lifeguard on Baywatch, is selling her glamorous estate after deciding to settle in Vancouver Island with her new husband, Dan Hayhurst.

The 5,500 square foot home – located in a gated community in Malibu – is a Californian haven, surrounded by avocado and orange groves and boasting a sun-glazed rooftop deck and private beach access.

Pamela Anderson's house has a vast, open-plan great room, which spans the majority of the property’s minimalist ground floor, and includes an elegant dining room, and kitchen with slab stone counters. Meanwhile, a statement chandelier hangs above the living area.  

The great room is drenched in Californian sunlight that illuminates the space through the wall of glass doors that lead onto the patio.

A light wood staircase travels from the ground floor to the master bedroom suite, which is one of four bedrooms on the estate – one of which is in the one-bedroom guesthouse in the garden. 

The main bedroom is complete with a private bathroom that opens onto a private terrace.

The exterior of the home is no less impressive, with a large swimming pool and a swim-up bar that separates the main property and the guesthouse. There is also an outdoor dining area and a hot tub, which sits alongside a fire pit amid a maze of olive trees. 

The property is listed with Tomer Fridman of The Fridman Group.  

Where will Pamela Anderson live now?  

Reports suggest Pamela has bought a waterside farmhouse in Vancouver Island. 

The property, which is nestled amid a six-acre estate, previously belonged to the actress's grandmother before she purchased it several years ago.

Pamela is no stranger to luxury renovation projects after she also transformed this Malibu home after buying the property for $1.8 million at the turn of the millennium.
