Now, as empty nesters, the couple cherishes their home as a repository of memories and a reflection of their journey. From raising their children to celebrating milestones, this house has been a backdrop to their evolving lives. With no plans to leave, they have made it clear that this is where they plan to stay for the long haul.

For Ripa and Consuelos to bring their vision to life, they collaborated with renowned interior designer William Sofield, whose expertise helped transform the five-story townhouse into a space that radiates sophistication.

Many of these items, like the cobalt blue Sèvres urns and reworked 18th-century Aubusson tapestries, now take pride of place in the home’s living spaces. The couple also prioritized practicality without sacrificing style.

Sofield designed twin Deco-style armoires for the foyer to store outdoor gear, a nod to the couple’s preference for an organized, shoe-free home. With these personal touches, they created a space that seamlessly blends Parisian elegance with the functionality of a family home.

As the couple walked through their home, they revealed spaces that perfectly blend style and personal connection. For Ripa and Consuelos, the kitchen and dining room are where family memories are made.

Positioned just off the garden, the kitchen exudes warmth with its carefully chosen materials and custom touches. It features translucent cabinets that enforce organization and a meticulously plastered oven hood.

Its crowning jewel is an intricate chandelier sourced from Vienna, which miraculously arrived without a single piece out of place. The room also features a hidden lazy Susan.

Together, the kitchen and dining room are central to the couple’s day-to-day lives, blending elegance with a sense of home. Moving beyond these communal spaces, the living room offers both a warm invitation to guests and a sophisticated escape for the couple.

The living room is a perfect blend of refinement and approachability. While it presents as a sophisticated space with hand-rubbed lacquered walls and a Louis XVI fireplace, the couple insists it’s not “too precious” for everyday use.

“We’ve had so many great parties in this room,” Ripa shared, emphasizing its dual purpose as a formal and casual space. At the heart of the room is a painting by the late Gloria Vanderbilt, gifted to the couple as a housewarming present.

“They’re super groovy,” Consuelos admitted. Ripa’s sense of humor is also woven into the room’s design. She recounted how visitors are often surprised by the “chic, shiny velvet” sofa that subtly causes guests to slide.

The Primary Bedroom: A Parisian Retreat

Ripa and Consuelos’ primary bedroom was designed to evoke the ambiance of a luxurious European hotel suite. Bathed in silvery gray tones, the space features plush wall-to-wall carpeting, vintage sconces salvaged from an ocean liner, and a hand-gilded headboard that took countless painstaking hours to perfect.

“We kept thinking it was perfect with every layer,” Ripa joked, reflecting on the craftsmanship behind the silver leaf finish. The bedroom also holds sentimental value, showcasing treasures from the couple’s Paris flea market trips.

Nearly every light fixture and decor piece tells a story, adding depth and history to the room’s serene and romantic atmosphere. Ripa shared that the room’s soothing design often becomes her workspace, where she wrote her book and continues to spend time reflecting on family memories.

For Ripa and Consuelos, this bedroom is not only a place to rest but also a retreat where they feel entirely at home. Just steps away from their serene bedroom, the bathroom takes on an entirely different personality.

The couple’s bathroom is a perfect reflection of their penchant for combining drama and sophistication. At the heart of the space is a stunning chaise longue, inspired by an iconic scene from the classic film “Mommie Dearest.”

In the movie, Joan Crawford, played by Faye Dunaway, lounges on a white satin chaise while delicately applying lotion. Ripa, enchanted by the moment, turned to Sofield to bring her Hollywood fantasy to life.

While the original piece featured delicate hammered satin upholstery, its impracticality quickly became apparent. “I sat down on the chaise to apply some lotion, kind of as a joke,” Ripa explained, “but when I put my leg down, I basically destroyed the entire surface!”

The chaise was reupholstered in a more durable cotton silk, preserving its vintage charm while ensuring it could withstand daily use. Despite the hiccup, the chaise remains a centerpiece of the bathroom.

Media Room: A Bold and Playful Escape

While much of the townhouse adheres to a sophisticated Art Deco aesthetic, the top-floor media room offers a bold departure. Nicknamed “Bar 5” and affectionately referred to as Consuelos’ cigar room, the space channels a hedonistic 1970s vibe.

One of the room’s standout features is a backlit bar nook, draped in midnight-blue velvet curtains and featuring a whimsical painted cigarette motif on the ceiling. Despite its name, the cigar lounge has a strict no-smoking policy.

The room has evolved into more than just Consuelos’ space. Sporting events, game nights, and cocktail parties all find their way to Bar 5, making it a hub of activity for the couple and their guests.

Consuelos’ love for Formula One racing is evident in the photography and decor, while Ripa admits she’s drawn to the room’s bold style. “I don’t come up here often, but every time I do, I think, ‘I should spend more time here—it’s so pretty,'” she shared.

Though the cigar lounge showcases the couple’s playful side, their unwavering connection to the townhouse as their “forever home” speaks to its deeper significance.

After over a decade of memories, Ripa and Consuelos have no plans to leave their beloved Upper East Side townhouse. Now in their empty-nester phase, the couple has embraced their home as a permanent haven.

Even though their children no longer live there full-time, their rooms remain preserved to encourage visits. “When we leave our bedroom, it feels like they’re still with us,” Ripa noted while referencing artwork in the hallway that features painted representations of her children’s eyes.

“I don’t want to sound morbid,” Ripa said, “but they’ll have to carry me out of here feet first because I have gotten good and comfortable in this house.” The home is not only a repository of treasured memories but also a space where they envision their future—together, forever.
