Joey McIntyreand his wife Barrett McIntyre aren’t afraid to embrace a sense of whimsy in the décor of their Los Angeles home.
TheNew Kids on the Blockmember and Barrett have been married since 2003, and they share three children: sonsGriffin Thomas, 15, and Rhys Edward, 13, and daughter Kira Katherine, 12. In 2020, they relocated from a New York City apartment to a 1939 French Normandy Revival house in L.A.’s Hancock neighborhood.
“We’re East Coast people. We love older houses and we love this neighborhood,” Barrett toldArchitectural Digestwhen she and her husband recently welcomed the outlet into their home for a tour.

The couple also love to see their joyful spirit represented in the style of their home. That’s why designers Staver Gray and Christie Ward ofWard + Grayincorporated so many eclectic, storybook style elements in the family’s home.
From a piece of artwork featuring the word “happy” spelled out in electrical wires hanging over their breakfast nook to a pool table with pink felt that sits in front of the window in their family room, Joey and Barrett’s home is bright and full of unexpected, but personal touches.

One of the most interesting spaces belongs to Joey. The singer and actor’s office turned music room features pine wood walls with shelves packed to the brim with books, speakers and memorabilia.
“We wanted to keep it a wild space where he can be his true self,” Ward said. “We didn’t want to overly style it.”
While Joey’s room has a lived-in, rustic vibe, the rest of the home is full of color, patterns and beloved family heirlooms like the “Stay the Same” singer’s vintage grand piano, which sits in the family room. For Joey, the home has represented a space for him and his family to grow.
“We totally pinch ourselves every day,” Joey said. “I’ve felt a lot of growth here in lots of ways — and we’re thrilled.”
