Unlike Renata's 'cool, monochromatic, cinematic, very luxurious and tranquil' style for her home in Monterey, California, the actress likes 'to mess it up more.'
Laura added: 'That's where we're incredibly different.'
The starlet's Los Angeles area home is a 'minimalist post-and-beam' house, designed by Calvin C. Straub, according to Architectural Digest.
She found her 2,464 square-foot home a few years ago, after wanting a change of scenery.
The mother of two lived in a 1920s Spanish-Moorish' style home but decided to start fresh in a new house with a different vibe: 'I had this fantasy of moving them into a tree house.'
Laura, who is the daughter of actors Dianne Ladd and Bruce Dern, loves collecting things, including 'art, photography, things from around the world, movie posters and lunch boxes.'
She told Architectural Digest: 'I loved dollhouses growing up, and it does feel like a dollhouse where you're always looking in to something magical, like a treasure box.'
The brightly colored and whimsical getaway has a lot of film goodies - from her own movie career as well as from her mother and father's careers.

Laura has a Tyrannosaurus Rex figurine by the front door, gifted to her by Steven Spielberg after she finished Jurassic Park; she has her shoes from Rambling Rose in the family room and also Golden Globe statuettes.
The star also has Lucille Ball's dress that she wore in the I Love Lucy Vitameatavegamin episode in 1952.
Her daughter Jaya, 12, has a hat worn by Bruce in the 2013 film Nebraska while son Ellery, 15, has a Ralph Lauren suit he wore in The Great Gatsby in 1974.

She worked with architect Michael Kovac, interior designer Trip Haenisch to update and renovate the three-bedroom home.
Renovations including adding a pool, swapping the walls for glass, expanding the kitchen and adding a skylight.
Laura also sought advice from her former Blue Velvet director, David Lynch, who has vast knowledge on mid-century architecture.
She currently stars on Big Little Lies. a seven-episode series on HBO; the final episode airs on Sunday, April 2.
