Jon Batiste has been on an incredible run for the last couple of years. While heโs always been a talented and respected artist, he has grown in popularity since the release of his 2021 album, โWE ARE.โ

With that in mind, weโre taking a look at the unique Brooklyn home the Louisiana artist shares with his wife Suleika Jaouad, thanks to the good people at Architectural Digest.
Living room

This living is special not only because itโs a nice and relaxing space, but itโs also where Batiste and Jaouad got married (before it was filled with furniture and artwork).
Elephant bar

โMr. Elephantโ as Batiste and Jaouad call him. While it isnโt anything huge or fancy, it gets unique reactions from guests who see it in the corner of the living room.
Kitchen

While it may not stand out when you first look at it, the stars of this kitchen are the blue Tunisian tiles seen behind the stove.
Dinner table

Believe it or not, the coupld got their dinner table on Facebook Marketplace. In fact, Jaouad shared that more than half of the furniture in their home is from Facebook Marketplace. Guess youโre never too famous to buy from others.
Guest bedroom

If are lucky enough to be a guest in this home, this is where you would be sleeping. Also, notice that gramophone on the table? It was gifted by Oprah Winfrey and is from the set of โThe Color Purple.โ
Guest bathroom

This is the calming bathroom guests would be using if they were lucky to stay here. If you look closely in the top left corner, youโll notice one of Batisteโs many Grammy awards.
Office/Painting studio

Here is Jaouadโs office. As a creative person in her own right, she needs a space to think and create. Many of the paintings above the couch are hers.
Dressing room

Although itโs in New York, Batiste and Jaouad managed to make a lot of space from them to get ready.
โJon & Suleikaโsโ celesta

The couple was very intentional about making sure that thereโs a piano in every room of the home. Luckily, they were able to find a celesta that fit in their closet.
Shower

While this is a very nice shower, Batiste and Jaouad admit that they enjoy taking baths more and soaking in water.
Bath

Here is the bath that gets a lot of use in this home. While itโs nothing fancy, itโs a calming space for the creative couple.
Sink
Thereโs no secret that this couple loves gold, as there are small hints of it throughout their Brooklyn home.
Master bedroom

This is where the couple rests. Oddly, itโs not filled with as much artwork and instruments as other parts of the home, but itโs the perfect fit for them to get their beauty sleep.
Basement
Thought it was over? Thereโs a basement in this home! While not as spacious as other areas, itโs just another place for Batiste and his wife to enjoy each otherโs company. Thereโs even more Grammys down here!
Lounge

Probably the most calming place in this entire home. This is the lounge...a place that can be used for thinking, resting, or reflecting.
