Looking at a beautiful celebrity garden can feel overwhelming. You may feel like, without a celebrity budget or expensive landscape designer, there is no way you can get the same look. However, most of the time, all that's needed is to break these stunning outdoor spaces into their simpler components. This is certainly the case with Khloé Kardashian's storybook backyard.
Though her trellis garden idea is breathtaking, ultimately, its formula is fairly self-explanatory. She takes the design to the next level with just rose plants, a trellis, and a water feature. Khloé creates maximum privacy at her Calabasas estate with a mix of greenery and flowers inching up massive archways. Evergreens and deciduous trees in the background offer a further fenced-in feel. At the far end of the garden, a simple stone water fountain creates the feeling that you're inside a fairytale.
To further unpack her rose garden design, Homes & Gardens curated an edit of products similar to those in Khloé's backyard. We also spoke to an expert to understand what works about this cottagecore look and how to recreate it in any space. Let's dive in.

First, it's interesting to note that garden trends have moved towards more extravagant outdoor spaces over the past few years, no matter where you live. This makes celebrity gardens a great space to source everyday inspiration.
Matt Baldock, Outdoor Expert at Garden Trading explains: 'A beautifully designed garden now carries the same status as a dream kitchen. Even simple upgrades - coordinated planters, good lighting or quality outdoor furniture - can dramatically elevate a space. Investing in timeless pieces - like solid wood dining tables, comfortable seating or ambient lantern lighting - helps create an outdoor space that feels aspirational but still practical.'
Furthermore, despite its scale, much of the charm of Khloé's outdoor space comes down to its cottagecore roots. Warm stone, climbing roses, and dappled walkways create that cozy, welcoming feel.
To recreate the look, Matt advises: 'Climbing roses, painted timber, decorative arches, and charming DIY features are bringing a sense of nostalgia back into outdoor spaces. Balanced with a considered layout and structure, the look blends storybook charm with modern structure, creating a garden that feels both playful and thoughtfully designed.'
He adds, 'Cottagecore gardens are about personality. Features like arches, trellises, climbing frames and painted furniture add romance, while organised planting and pathways stop the space feeling chaotic.'
Even the most elegant celebrity gardens are replicable with the right research, pieces, and approach to design. Some height, flowers, and a water feature go a long way.
