7 Kardashian-Inspired Home Ideas and How to Get the Look
Reality TV show not included
When looking for home inspiration, you may not immediately think of turning to your reality TV show habit for tips. However, the Kardashian-Jenner family has graced our screens for over a decade, bringing us plenty of viral moments, wild outfits, and, yes, envy-worthy homes.
Whether you’ve binged every episode of both of their shows or can’t even remember how many sisters there are, we’ve rounded up some home decor inspiration you can emulate from this famous family.
1. Try Some Minimalist Decor
Kim Kardashian’s very spacious and minimalist home has been well-documented on TV and social media, and though a huge, beige mansion may not be your style, you can still pull some design inspiration from her space.
Use this as an excuse to go through your rooms and purge them of anything that doesn’t spark joy. Then, see where you might be able to adopt a minimalist design style to bring some calm into your home. Maybe you’re over the bright purple paint in your half bath and want to hire a local painter to go over it in a calmer hue. Or, maybe you have the urge to rid your bedroom of loud patterns in favor of some neutral sheets.
2. Opt for a Dreamy Walk-in Closet
Looking to channel some of the over-the-top glam of this famous fam? Then you may be looking for a bit of a bigger project. Look no further than creating the walk-in closet of your dreams.
If you’re lucky enough to already have a walk-in closet, great! You’re most of the way there already. Think about adding some extra shelving and some lighting strips so you can see your fabulous clothing. Consider some seating if there’s room, so people can get comfy while you model your latest wardrobe—or wait for you to finally be ready to go out to dinner.
And if you’re looking to add a walk-in closet to your home, you have so many options to choose from, all customized to you. Think of your current wardrobe, what size closet you want (within reason), and what kind of storage solutions would best suit you and your space. You can expect to pay $2,500 to $5,000 for the cost to build a new walk-in closet, though any Kardashian-level upgrades may raise that price.
3. Create Your Own Outdoor Paradise
Celebrity-level glam doesn’t just pertain to the inside of your home. The outsides of the Kardashian-Jenner homes are often even more stunning than the insides.
Again, you have lots of inspiration options here, including adding plush chairs to the side of your pool if you have one, adding some trees or greenery to your landscaping, or even installing a paver patio to expand your entertaining space to the great outdoors. Don’t feel pressured to get it all done in one go, either—any upgrades are sure to make your lawn feel brand new to you.
4. Channel Their Glam Kitchens
Perhaps you’re most interested in a place where you can whip up a new recipe or eat big salads while discussing all the latest drama with your friends. The Kardashians each boast big, open kitchens with chic, expansive ranges and kitchen islands that would make even a celebrity chef jealous.
Adding a kitchen island can cost up to $5,000, though you can start off with a portable one or a rolling cart for a few hundred dollars. Other ways to easily upgrade your kitchen include upgrading your appliances, installing a new backsplash, or even adding new cabinet hardware.
Again, don’t feel pressured to make any huge upgrades to keep up with the Joneses (er, Kardashians?). Start slow and make sure the changes you’re making are ones you’ll be happy with for years to come.
5. Go for a Perfectly Stocked Pantry
It seems like every few years, Khloe Kardashian goes viral for her extremely organized pantry (designed by The Home Edit team, who also created a similar pantry above). And while you may not be quite ready to give your own kitchen pantry that level of attention, you can still use hers for inspiration.
Go through what you have in your kitchen now and toss anything that’s expired and donate anything you don’t think you’ll use. Then stock up on some plastic containers and use them to store everything from baking ingredients to chips beautifully. If you’re not sure where to start, you can hire a home organizer near you to find a system that’s catered to your needs.
6. Create a Spa-Like Bathroom
If you’ve ever come across a Kardashian mirror selfie in the past few years, you’ll notice that they don’t skimp when it comes to high-end bathroom fixtures. And if your bathroom could use an upgrade, there are endless projects to consider.
Try taking on the cost of adding a new bathtub if you’re a fan of a bubble bath after a long day of social media influencing (or whatever your job may be). If you’d prefer to perfect your morning routine, adding a rainfall showerhead and some good bathroom mirror lighting may be more your speed. Throw in some big, fluffy towels and your favorite beauty products, and you’re well on your way.
7. Don’t Forget Plenty of Comfy Additions
An easy way to instantly make your home feel more luxurious is by adding in some glam, yet comfy touches. Start with a fluffy throw in your living room or a soft bath mat in front of your shower. From there you can go even further by choosing new carpeting to make every step you take that much more comfortable. Other cozy, Kardashian-approved touches include new fireplaces and heated floors.
