Tasteful Friends - Kris Jenner Remodeled Her Home

It clearly needs a woman's touch!

Why post this garbage here about these utter scourges on the face of humanity OP?

Can't these people just all die in a plane crash? Slowly...

There's an ironic glam style that's all the rage right now (think designer Kelly Wearstler).... this is just not a very good example of it.

Some really nice furniture there, good cloth, nice carpets, attractive colors and patterns...but it doesn't work.

Sorry. Someone else linked to an article on this site and it was in the margins & I clicked on it. I was just curious considering the insane amount of money right now, what they were going for and why it's sort of "off" to my eye. Thanks R3, that's interesting it's called that. I was wondering what the "goal" with this style was.

So that's what it's like living in a Julia Baker store.

It's certainly been styled to within an inch of its life. The article says it's in their tv show and it's the same decorator they all use. Is the house better than it was before?

I agree with the OP, the fireplace room is nice and better than the rest.

It's OK, I mean she has some nice pieces of furniture here and there. The foyer is very pretty and dramatic,and I love the black and white check floors which are classic and I like the chandeliers. But I prefer antiques ,art , and sculptures with that kind of money. People with money today waste it on new manufactured furniture and hardly have any art in their mansions. The wealthy interiors now a days are so manufactured and generic. Nothing unique and individual is to be found in these mansions they way the wealthy used to live which is sad.

When a family has had money for a long time they acquire property, art, furniture, textiles and decorative items over years. Different tastes bring in differing styles and pieces. Furniture and houses are lived in for generations. Families like the Kardashians live in Calabasas and bought everything in the last five minutes.

Somebody tried too hard. too decorated.

The entry hall is too crowded. Get rid of those benches around that center table, on potted plant or vase on the table is sufficient, and smaller trees please. The dining room is too crowded and three chandeliers is way OTT. The Lucite desk is very 1990. Otherwise it looks like it would suit her perfectly. It 'looks' Kris Jenner.

I don't doubt Kris will be directed to this thread.

You can see more pictures at the Hidden Hills link at the top right. Kourtney's is the second row down, middle, and Khloe's is to the right of it. Fourth row down on the right is Ryan Seacrest's old house and the one below it was the designer's.

It's all very...shiny.

I'm sure a family of magpies would feel at home.

For once, I have a bit of sympathy for Kanye. How did he go from living in this mausoleum to spending time in that cacophony of patterns, mirrors, and high contrast.

Its late hollywood regency, yes, recent glam lux, many many removes from Dorothy Draper. It's not absolutely dreadful but there are major mistakes in each room. It looks like a set design from the early noughts.

Wilhelmina Slater urban lux.

The challenge is the bombastic, and overkill.

Oye

Chandelier over a bed? Never.

Multiple chandeliers over a modest sized dining table? No

Chandeliers in a kitchen, without irony. White ones at that. Please.

R12, that place is beyond sterile and horrible. Millennials and tech millionaires love places with no imagination like that.

It has every current cliché in interior design and as such it will look very dated within 5 years.

Despite a few nice fabrics and pieces, it's cold, hard, vulgar and it has no soul. It's an accurate reflection of the occupant.

vulgar house of prostitution and garish decor

The ONLY feature I like is the use of black and white tile flooring, and I was just told by my friend that is an evil Masonic Illuminati type icon, like the eye on the dollar bill. She thinks that the Kris and the Kardashian Koven are now the power witches of the universe, and Kris has openly owned that distinction by showing her demonic decor.

I find the couch suite by the bathtub disturbing, at least in the house of a toxic narcissist. It's a place for the toxic narcissist to hold court and demand deference even while doing things that should be private, because it's not like anyone wants to look at her naked ass in a bathtub.

And I HATE the modern trend of black, white, gray, beige, taupe, anything but color.

I agree with both of your points, R21!

I see she kept and used my balls as the door knocker.

I can now teach her how to do an AWESOME tuck with her bedsheets.

It's so cold and impersonal. Very 1980s, except for the all-white kitchen.

The living room (room with fire place) has a massive wall-size mirror which I hate but it is the least offensive room.

This would give me nightmares, staring down from the top of the stairs.

R19- I didn't want to allude to a prostition-type decor going on but since you said it first. My background is architecture so interior design has always been a guilty pleasure of mine.

Used to read every issue of Aritectural Digest mags and actually kept them. So, with that said, the "style" is loud, jarring visually, brash, harsh, over-done, garish, and has a certain sense of a mausoleum tone to it. I noted some of the furniture looks more appropriate for a restaurant or club foyer due to formality and the sense that it looks plain uncomfortable.

I'd give it 4 or 6 years, and she'll get rid of 90% of the furniture, re-design, change paint tones, tiles, and re-do the bedroom and kitchen.

Some "before" pictures

....

....

R30 I liked every room, particularly the salon, better before the redo with the exception of the kitchen and the pool area(not a room but a major change none the less.)

Agreed R26 That floating gold mannequin thing is horrifying.

God help me, I kinda like it.

It was horribly dated, but here's something poignant about how normal and livable the house originally was.

Somewhere along the line they disposed of everything that wasn't designed solely to shock and awe the dolts who look up to them. I'm sure Rob must feel the same.

Does anyone else get the feeling that Edina Monsoon's house currently looks just like this?

She does redecorate every couple of years, particularly when Patsy passes out with a lit cigarette.

Gee Gus has a nelly big assed house there...

Wrong thread genius.

oh well. and now Im the genius. Why did I have the Gus headline with the Jenner thread content? Oh well. Mea culpa.

This says it all:

Individually, a lot of nice stuff - but agreed with above, there's a lot of bad placement and big items in each room that just don't work.

KITCHEN: white chandeliers look cheap and gaudy. The bulky islands are too bulbous. And that white is oppressive - just not a nice shade at all. What would you call that color - white out?

BATH: First, I had no fucking idea that was a bathroom until someone mentioned the bathtub. Why would you have floor lamps around a bathtub and a full seating arrangement?

DINING ROOM: Doesn't match the rest of the house AT ALL. The sheer brown drapes are a throwback, there's a goddamn CROWN on the middle chandelier, and the chair fabric is very casino. I don't need to repeat about 3 chandeliers - particularly in a room full of reflective windows and the beaming California sun.

BEDROOM: Cold and manly. Looks like Cruella DeVille's bedroom - where are the dalmation furs?

I think the designer was overruled in a lot of selections here and it's those Kris Jenner decisions that fucked things up. Again - I've seen a lot worse and overall it's not bad, but somehow a lot of it went wrong.

R39 the Chandeliers are usually used for evening dinning which the light reflects off of the prisms of the chandelier. Also, so what California has beaming sunlight? on the contrary the light is caught in the prisms giving off an array of beautiful colors. The crown on the Chandelier might be an antique chandelier. I agree, three chandeliers are insane! Her taste in art? is tacky! Dose she think she is very avant-garde in her taste in art? with that human form painted in gold near the stair rail?

Isn't it your typical tacky gaudy McMansion decor, both before and after, with the after becoming even more aggressively gaudy, as R34 says: "Somewhere along the line they disposed of everything that wasn't designed solely to shock and awe the dolts who look up to them. "

R8 do you remember the Kim Kardashien collection at Sears? Mostly Leopard prints hooked wouldn't wear.

The Foyer houseplants are too small.

Looks like a McMansion Hell post. Nothing screeches nouveau riche quite like pillars and three chandeliers in a dining room.

Looks divine

1987 Is calling.

There's a little too much of everything. The pool area looks nice. The bedroom looks claustrophobic, though it could be the angle. But that dining room with the brown draperies is HIDEOUS.

Ugly Whore-House. Worse than Trump's Dictator Gold.

R30 Kylie's room looks like a room in a brothel!

I see lucite lamps flled with macaroni.

There is nothing warm and cozy about this décor. So while there are some nice elements it is a miss for me. I agree the room with the fireplace is the best of the bunch. I liked the before foyer better even though the table needed to be an antique of some kind.

Obviously they weren't going for "warm and cozy" R51. Not everybody wants that.

Bitchy queens, it’s well done.

iknorite R53?

R54 It’s tastefully done. Get over it.

I agree most of the rooms look like a high-roller suite in Vegas. And guess who does her flowers, Colton's hubby Jeff. More over the top tackiness.

I think her estate needs a pedestrian bridge.
