Inside Rita Ora's Historic London Victorian Home (2026)

While Rita Ora is known globally for her high-fashion, "flamboyant" public persona, her 15-year-old London home tells a much quieter, more grounded story. Located in the leafy neighborhood of Primrose Hill, the Grade II listed Victorian residence—built in 1877—serves as a "sanctuary" where the singer disconnects from her fast-paced career.

As of January 2026, the home is being hailed as a premier example of how to honor historical architecture while injecting a contemporary "rock and roll" spirit.

A Fairytale History

The house isn't just old; it’s storied. It was once the home and studio of the legendary illustrator Arthur Rackham, the artist behind the original drawings for Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, and Sleeping Beauty.

• The Energy: Ora admits she bought the house specifically for its "creative juices," feeling an immediate connection to the spirits of the artists who lived there before her.

• Preserving the Past: Because the building is Grade II listed, major structural changes were forbidden (and undesired). Ora focused on "restoration rather than renovation," polishing the original dark wood beams, ornate partitions, and 19th-century windows.

The Interior Philosophy: "Internal vs. External"

Rita explains that while her "outer self" is colorful and loud, her "inner self" is the opposite. This is reflected in a design palette dominated by earth tones, vintage textures, and personal history.

• Vintage Treasures: Eschewing high-end showrooms, Ora furnished the majority of her home with finds from Portobello Road Market. This includes antique mirrors, stone garden statues, and mismatched furniture that gives the home a "lived-in" feel.

• Modern Accents: To prevent the space from feeling like a museum, Ora integrated "dopamine decor" and modern art. Notable pieces include a magenta neon sign, zebra-print stools, and custom skateboard decks by her friend Damien Hirst.

• The "Snug": Reclaiming a traditionally masculine concept, Rita created a feminine, rose-toned "snug" featuring a custom sofa in pink mohair velvet, designed for reading by the fire or falling asleep.

Architectural Highlights

"Everyone comes to my house and says, 'I can't believe you live here,'" Rita shared with Architectural Digest. "It feels earthy and grounding. It’s my little slice of heaven in the middle of London."
