Inside Ray Romano’s Cozy Desert Hideaway | Open Door | Architectural Digest

- Published on May 21, 2025
- Today Architectural Digest is welcomed by Ray and Anna Romano to tour their serene desert home in La Quinta, California. The ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’ star and his wife worked with AD100 powerhouse Nate Berkus to design a beautiful and comfortable home, perfect for hosting their expanding family as two of their four children prepare to get married. Moving away from the mid-century Americana styles you’d typically find around Palm Springs, Berkus took inspiration from Italian country homes, creating a more muted space with all the charm of the Italian countryside. Before letting Berkus and Anna take the reigns on design, Ray only had a few specific requests for his new desert oasis. “I wanted some kind of cozy feel to it. That’s all. I was very vague,” he says. “And I fell in love with a bunk bed room that we saw at the Ritz-Carlton in Sundance that my kids stayed in. And I said, ‘I want a room like that.’”

Ray Romano has been one of my favourite comedians over the last 25 years. He is so effortlessly funny and seems like a humble guy.
Yes....yes...yes...love him...
Pity he dished his wife at the end there saying she's probably going to yell at him because he said something wrong. Not funny.
@aprilmoon277 omg hes a comedian , hes been happily married long enough sure she doesnt think hes dissing her 🙄
If you haven’t seen his scenes with Pete Davidson in the show Bubkis they are hilarious
@@aprilmoon277yes, a sour note I thought, not funny at all.
Ray is proof that you can become very successful in Hollywood and still have a blessed life. Crucial is having a partner whose values you share.
A real New Yorker!❤
His wife is gorgeous, inside and out! The resemblance to his TV wife played by Patricia Heaton is unmistakable!
@@maltygoodness2Omg yes❤
Like, you know what his life looks like lol
Agreed 💯 percent
The most beautiful thing shown in this video is their relationship!
So true so refreshing to see a happy couple
Not just someone sitting in a fancy chair, petting their dog or cat, wearing a family tweed jacket.
I agree!! And her talking about cooking for her family and a drawer full of her favorite candy...so real and unpretentious.
The hand touching on the bench in the kitchen was so sweet!
I mean money and success helps surely but they do genuinely look happy and they look great. Hes 66 and shes 60! wow yeah money does help, but being happy together helps even more!
Overall perfect. The couple. The jokes. The ambiance. The Design. The Location. Love him even more now 😂
He read about bunk beds👆🏻
Yeah love Ray and he and wife are so funny
Ambiance, maybe?
100% agree. I'm calling this my favorite one now.
@@Drnaynay yes
Ray sitting on the couch calling to his wife for food while watching football.. such a Frank moment!!!! Love him.
Ray and Anna seem like nice, regular folks, even while showing us a house that few of us could ever afford.
I didn't think it was that warm and cozy myself. But to each their own.
He doesn't shut up, does he. Typical actor . . me me me. I did like his shows though.
lol you can say it: "none" of us ahah
@@thewordrulesSame. It looks sterile and bland with way to much space to be cozy, but some people like that.
Yeah and it’s one of their houses lol
I love that his wife is just as witty as him.
She’s not
@@mattsupachat5962 that’s your opinion
It seems Debra was based on her. They kinda have the same mannerism and physical body.
Everything about this had me laughing- his love of bunk beds, his description of a perfect day, the talk of grandkids and the art that “looks like a smile.” I loved it.
Me too, if I had the space/money I would have had those beds too. A lot of video places to watch things, I guess you need to fill the rooms :)
I love it when people are wildly successful and yet still lovely, nice people. ♥️
Maybe my favorite AD to date- being livable and lavish is hard to pull off. Bravo.
Ray is so funny, and his Anna seems like the perfect partner for him. Love their vibe.
This is probably my favorite house I've seen on AD. Simple yet very beautiful and practical.
The house is really nice & elegant.
I actually met Ray in a restaurant 5 years ago. He was the same nice, funny, friendly guy you see here. Such a shock to see someone is truly genuine.
I love when celebrities are like that!
OK, you are so lucky… I am jealous for sure
OK, you are so lucky… I am jealous for sure… although it would’ve been ridiculous if I ever had chance to meet this remarkable fellow. My knees would probably knock. It is a body thing. I’m not quite sure why this happens but I met another celebrity one time and I had no control over it …quite embarrassing.
Ray always made my dad laugh out loud. It was his favorite show. Wacky family. Great memory. RIP Dad.
Their chemistry is so relaxing.
What a beautiful place. Nate Berkus is an amazing designer. Ray and his wife are perfect together too.
Anna Romano is a hoot! The Romano's feel like family. Beautiful Casa Romano & Bravo to Nate Berkus for the design.
How can you not love Ray Romano?1 It's also great seeing a couple who still like/love one another after being together forever!
Ray Romano's voice brings me such comfort and childhood memories of his show. Lol.
Aw them talking about their family more than their things is the best! Most AD tours are just about their purchases, but they have a why for their purchases and it’s so sweet !!!
They are such a great couple. You can tell they love each other, and feed off of each other’s senses of humor. I have been a big Ray Romano fan even before his TV show. But never really saw his wife interviewed, so this was awesome.
Family is the main reason for this house. They both really enjoy what they have. Yes, the house is pretty overwhelming but they love it. He jokes about the costs but hey he has earned it. She is very sharp, pleasant and show humour too😄
He’s still hilarious even after all these years …I love the house they built together it’s so retro and spacious with lots of light !
More Mrs. Romano! I was in stitches. (Mr. Romano was entertaining as always, but Mrs. R was a delight.) I can't feel my face.
You gotta love Ray, his awesome wife and family. Humble feels, in laid back chill mode, with top of the world warmth and humour!
Great to see a Hollywood couple still married!
They’re so funny lol
OKAY this is the MOST honest interview and tour ever! Of course ❤ shoutout to Nate too 😊
I don't think ive seen an edition of AD where I laughed this much. Ray's TV series was an event in our household. Very nice couple!
That view out of the back of the house is crazy! WOW.
i did not stop smiling! love the house. 😊love this couple even more! please, someone, give them a show. i am so there! anna - you are fabulous!
This is the best one yet because they were authentic and not fake like the other celebrities.
Ray is so humble. Such kind people!
I agree with Ray, the bunk bed room is my favourite too. Beautiful house!
I always looked forward to watching Mr. Romano's tv series, Everybody Loves Raymond." It is the funniest show about family life with the greatest cast of actors and so well written. Thank you Ray for that. I, too, love the bunkbed room. I am happy we met Anna. Very comfortable couple.
I love how wonderfully “ordinary” they both are. ❤😊
I love the simplicity of the design and I love Ray too. His wife is also very funny.
Ray's wife is just as funny cool - also I saw the Smile too and 1970 Antique!!!! omggggg lol thanks for showing more down to earth realistic showings of these beautiful homes.
His "cozy" house being bigger than the house I see in my dreams is crazy 😢. He's a funny, unproblematic non controversial guy tho who deserves everything he has.
Just because it's big doesn't mean it isn't cozy.
Which desert is this? It looks like Stellenbosch South Africa 😂 I have my moments, but i don't buy it.
That's what she said.
@@davidmitchell6873 hahaha.,.. funny guy lol
I thought someone would say that, even though that's not how I meant it to come across.@@davidmitchell6873
this is one of the best AD tours they are such lovely people very down to earth and appreciative
omg omg i love their chemistry.... one of the best AD episodes
Ray's house is spectacular. Has Nate Berkus written all over it. He deserves it. Thanks for the laughs, Ray!
I’m so happy to see someone react just as viscerally as I do to shoes on the bed!!
“Not cheap at all…now I have to do Ice Age 6.” 🤣🤣🤣
Inshallah!
Funny now that Ice Age 6 is actually happening lol.
They are both so cute and funny. I could watch them for hours.
How can you not love this guy???!
We are still watching reruns of ELR daily! We Love Ray… doesn’t everyone?!!! ❤
I also keep watching ELR every day, my son gave me the series at Christmas ❤
Watching ELR as I watch this.
I love Ray Romano...he is a funny funny guy...his wife seems to be a sweet lady...I am sure they know how blessed they are...
I love the house. Love the people in the house. It's clearly fancy but still looks like they weren't trying to overdo the fancy part. And that's down to earth for rich people. Love it.
He is fabulous so humbled and kind
"You put your dirty shoes on the bed. Off! Off!"--spoken like a real, long-time married couple. Love it!
🤣
So with Anna on this one❣️
So couldn’t agree more!
Spoken like his mother 😅😅😅
Anna has a bit of Asian genes in her
@@cityescape2031no, if she did, she would’ve never let him in the door with his shoes on
I love the fact that they dont talk over each other. The house is amazing! 😊
OMG That patio alone is beautiful.
Appreciate this family. Romano what a guy! LOVELY FAMILY HAS STAYED TRUE to his beliefs, values and love for what is really important in life.
Usually couldn't care less about celebrity walkthroughs, but the Romano's place is magnificent! La Quinta's a bit toasty for my taste, but beautiful surroundings.
Ray! Sometimes I forget how real and funny he is!
I did watch "Somewhere in Queens", I watch anything you put your hands on and it was wonderful! I shed a few tears along with some laughs, it is a great movie. Your house is beautiful and well deserved, thank you for sharing it.
Love the landscaping. The mountains are beautiful.
The best house tour AD has ever done
Anna is gorgeous!! And Nate is a cool dude. Glad he did a cozy job on the house.
She literally said what most of us were thinking when got got on the bed with his shoes on!
“They’re not going to college. Neither did their parents. Who are we kidding?” 😂😂😂
😂😂
😂😂😂
Love it😂😂😂
😂🤣😂
😭😭💀⚰️✋🛑🚫
How beautiful 🌿 Well done Nate 😊👍🦋
I unexpectedly watched the whole video with my face crinkled up and a giant open mouthed grin on my face. I'm not sure why it was unexpected, he is hilarious, and so is she.
They’re both so funny lol
Same!
Love Ray and I actually loved the bunk beds.
Great video because the hosts were so entertaining!!! More of these please
I’m not a tv show watcher, but I always loved to watch Everyone Loves Raymond. Watching this he met all my expectations of what he must be like in real life.
Ray, you're so funny. 🤣 Congratulations to you and Anna for 36 years of marriage. The pool looks really great. 👍
Omg, I’ve been watching Every Ones Loves Raymond every day for the last 21 yrs. Love him
What a guy. Best humor ever. Your intelligence, common sense, love of the arts and all the folks who have enjoyed your shows, movies, books etc., have made this possible. Kudos to you and yours. Would love some new material/shows.❤
The most authentic AD Ive seen. Real people.
Ray is pretty darn down to earth 🌸
I LOVE Ray Romano!! Everybody Loves Raymond, one of the best shows ever!
Wasn’t expecting Ray Romano on AD! This is neat
Too adorable these two!! Probably been together 30 years!! Beautiful!
Now this is a really, really nice house.
So down-to-earth and refreshing. that pad is absolutely breath-taking. I love it..😊 magical.
They’re so Italian-American lol. I love it.
Love how simple and cozy it is
Anna with the shoes on the bed is sooo me lol
Same!
Beautiful. Love your style. Nate did an excellent job. Well done.
Now I wish they had a youtube channel so we can get a glimpse of their lovely family.
Literally the only family channel I would want to watch!
stop being so nossy girl
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful! My father's favorite places were La Quinta and La Jolla. We spent many Easter breaks in La Quinta in the '70s. My husband and I have attended the PNB Paribas Indian Wells tennis tournament every year since 2010. Love Nate! We live near Nathan Circle and Jeremiah in Dana Point. I like the bunkbed room, too. Very cozy!
It’s a very comfortable house. Beautiful setting. Love the open design and the inside outside thing.
I love Ray! His voice and his sense of humor makes him one of the most relatable comedians
Most favorite AD episode yet
I love that it is cozy as well as luxurious. I love the view in their backyard and their candy drawer is the cherry on top (my favorite kind as well). Great couple.
What a great and real couple! Design is perfect. Setting is lovely. Happy for them.
There is so much Ray Romano in Ray Barone! And I'm with him, the bunk bed room is my favorite, too!
This is actually the first celebrity house I really love! 💕 10/10, would certainly live here ☺️.
Ray is a very genuine person.
I loved this and their banter! I love the bunk bed room too!!
They have such lovely chemistry. It was a delight to watch them and their house.
Deff one of my favorite houses !
Talk about the fruits of your labor. That show certainly rewarded him.
Beautiful views and that patio WOW
Gorgeous house…and I’ve loved Ray for so long! I love the fact that he & his wife have been together since their early twenties
Haven’t heard about this guy in years, and I love that for him
They are super together. He is so genuine.
gorgeous indeed, love this style, so fresh and warm!
Bunk bed room is amazing, satisfies my symmetric needs, is so cozy, clean, and the colors were perfect.
