Sunmor, Palm Springs

We’re willing to bet that some good-natured individual watched a rainbow materialise in the sky, grabbed a handful of the resulting magic, threw it in a gift box wrapped in serenity and released it into this home. With eye-catching custom murals and generous touches of blue all around, you’ll find yourself in an oasis as exuberant as the outdoors of Palm Springs that Hollywood stars can’t seem to get enough of.

"Smile" says the neon sign above the shimmering pool at this sensational Palm Springs home, and it's impossible not to when you're surrounded by such stunning mountain scenery and plentiful sunshine. The garden is the best place to take those views - grab a seat under the bright yellow and white parasol on one of the matching sun loungers that give off serious French Riviera vibes.
