American Horror Story’s Ryan Murphy might write a terrifying show guaranteed to put you on the edge of your seat, but he has created two serene spaces for his family. Murphy has two homes in New York City and Los Angeles. The writer lives in a warm, wooden home in NYC with his husband.

The New York City townhouse doesn’t look the way that you’d expect an NYC townhouse to look. The interior has large, simplistic furniture, wooden accents, delicate pottery, and Scandinavian art, along with art from Robert Mapplethorpe, David Wojnarowicz, and Hugh Steers, all of whom were artists who were taken too soon.
