For every self-respecting celebrity, there is a dream house waiting and, of course, an audience eager to give it a peek! The home tours of the stars, especially from overseas, are among the most clicked videos on the web, to the point that by now the trend “to open the doors of one’s home” to the general public has increasingly become a constant. The trend, launched by Architectural Digest, which realizes dream home tour videos guided by some of our favourite stars on Youtube, has also fascinated our muses, who now of their own free show their most intimate and private places on social networks. After all, it is not a novelty that the Instagram stars have completely broken down the privacy barrier: since the advent of the stories we have been able to sneak into their private spaces and now, they are themselves in the arches of the home design inspo, a dream is obvious, that we don’t want to get lost. In recent days, it was Kendall Jenner and mom-to-be Gigi Hadid who opened the doors for us. Are you curious to admire their new dream houses?
KENDALL JENNER’S TRANQUIL HOME IN LOS ANGELES
The home of the beautiful Kendall was furnished by the famous design team made up of the mother-son couple Kathleenand Tommy Clements, together with the inimitable Waldo Fernandez. Already, decorators of the houses of the Kardashians sisters, the designers said they were surprised by the taste of their 24-year-old superstar client: “her tastes were surprising, more bohemian and funky than the rest of the family”. Being Kendall the highest-paid model in the world, the architects expected something much more flashy and less down to earth, but with a great surprise, they discovered that Kendall’s will gravitated more around absorbing the experiences and encounters made in around the world rather than its economic power. SPOILER: Be careful with this, don’t expect what we mere mortals would call “humble abode”! But let’s start with this Jenner’s Home Tour! A peaceful, almost farm-like Spanish atmosphere welcomes you at the entrance of Kendall Jenner’s home, who said she wanted to make her home a place to relax and enjoy the pleasures of life. Warm and organic textures dominate the living room, the colour palette is in fact that of the earth combined with a wide selection of refined vintage fabrics. The furnishing accessories are spacious and minimal like the two large sofassuitable for hosting friends and relatives. The kitchen is another of the essential areas of the house, Kendall herself said she gave it particular importance in order to push herself to spend more time in the kitchen and improve her cooking skills.
In contrast to the delicate palette of furniture and finishes, Jenner’s contemporary art collection, which includes works by Barbara Kruger, Richard Prince, Raymond Pettibon and Sterling Ruby. Just outside the entrance, a mural by James Turrell, animated by changing computer-programmed LED lights, welcomes visitors with a dreamy chromatic display. Kendall’s interest in art is in fact far from superficial, especially after the influence received by his brother-in-law Kanye West. But that is not all! Kendall is very attached to her childhood and wanted pieces of her child’s home in her new home. In her bedroom, she wanted to insert two panels of Italian hand-painted doors in the 18th century, as elements that had originally been prepared for her birthplace by mother Kris. For Kendall who has never hidden her battle with anxiety and panic attacks, panels, like the arts and crafts room she installed in the house’s former home theatre, are simply another aspect of her efforts to model a relaxing refuge from the noise of her professional life made of fashion shows and paparazzi.
GIGI HADID’S AND ZAYN MALIK HOME IN NEW YORK
Failed on Twitter but promoted with flying colours on Instagram, Gigi Hadid’s house shown on social media a few days ago is on everyone’s lips! A stir was the mood defined by “student house” (Ps. What a dream if they all were like this one! ), Given by colours and iconic elements. In particular, we refer to the bathroom walls covered with covers of the New Yorker magazine, to the gigantic yellow pen-shaped sculpture and to the kitchen cabinets with images of coloured pasta. In general, like Kendall’s house, Gigi’s also follows a bright colour palette and desert tones, the mood is safari mixed with some shabby chic component, and that, like it or not, if you know Gigi well it is very indicative of her personality. Just take a look at her second Instagram account @gisposable to better understand what we are talking about. The love for the 1950s vintage and the farmhouse mood, exactly like that of the ranch in Pennsylvania where she grew up, also followed her in New York. Again, the furnishings are spacious and comfortable: the island kitchen is huge and demonstrates Gigi’s great love for food, the sofa is L-shaped and full of hippie cushions. In the house, there are many candles to create an atmosphere and a huge marble bathroom. As in Kendall’s house, even here there is no shortage of dressing rooms typical of a model, with professional mirrors and runners for hundreds of clothes. But what will be the identifying components of Zayn? We’ll see!
