HGTV star Jonathan Scott is known for transforming homes on television, but in a recent virtual walkthrough, he shifted the focus to something more personal — the New York City apartment he shares with fiancée Zooey Deschanel.
After fully renovating their Los Angeles residence, the couple also created a carefully designed space in Manhattan.
In the video, Scott makes clear that viewers are not seeing a polished set designed for cameras. “This is not a staged showroom,” the description explains, emphasizing that the apartment reflects how they actually live.
A home shaped by deliberate design
Scott walks through the apartment detailing how each decision was made with intention. From layout planning to storage solutions, he explains that functionality played just as important a role as style.
“Every layout choice matters,” the video description notes, highlighting the thought process behind even the smallest details, including the patterns in the flooring.
The space features dramatic 15-foot ceilings that create an open atmosphere, along with distinctive lighting fixtures that add character. Bold wallpapers appear throughout the apartment, and a hand-drawn mural in the entryway sets a personalized tone from the moment guests arrive.
Blending two creative visions
A central theme of the tour is balance. Scott discusses how he and Deschanel combined their individual tastes into one cohesive look. Antique artwork, floral wallpapers, old-world influences and bold colors come together in a way that feels layered rather than temporary.
“I wanted you guys to see what it literally looks like day to day when we’re just here and we’re using it,” Scott told viewers.
The result is a Manhattan home that reflects real life — thoughtfully designed, expressive, and distinctly their own.
