David Hasselhoff stars in 'Beige-watch'

Cult icon David Hasslehoff aka ‘The Hoff’ has done it all: donned the famous, red swimming trunks for his spell in Baywatch, battled the baddies in Knight Rider, had a video of his drunken antics go viral – he’s even had a musical made about his life. So when we heard that he was selling his estate in Encino, we couldn’t wait to have a look at how this larger than life character has decked out his home.

Not so imaginatively it turns out. Sure, there’s a lot on offer for the $4,195,000 price tag – namely five bedrooms, five and a half bathrooms, a screening room, a gym for maintaining that Baywatch six pack, a ‘gourmet kitchen’ (whatever that means) two guest houses, a tennis court, a pool, a spa and a 5 car garage – but if you choose to venture inside, expect beige meets white meets more beige. Hardly inspiring.

The kitchen (above) is pretty darn dull, with light brown tiled floor and honey coloured raised panel cabinetry topped by sand coloured granite counter tops. I’d overhaul it with some dark wood floors and contrasting statement cabinets in bright orange, as seen in the Moben Zebrano kitchen.

Cream walls, taupe carpets and marble effect floors invade the rest of the house with the exception of the “bonus room” (below) which has a built-in bar and a wall of gold, silver and platinum records from The Hoff’s tongue-in-cheek music career. Kitsch-tastic.

It’s not all bad, though. The living room is light and airy with glossy hardwood floors and a beautiful, deep brown chesterfield sofa. And the master bedroom (above) does include a super-squishy suede sleigh bed not unlike the gorgeous Milano sleigh bed from Sleepland beds. We’d ditch the caramel sheets, though, and team it with Kelly Hoppen’s super-chic Chalk Stripe bed linen instead.

No need to feel too embarassed though, David – you’re not the only celeb opting for safe, muted hues. Alexander McQueen’s East London pad also houses a simple, unembellished interior – a surprising choice for the hooligan of British fashion.
