The Kardashian-Jenner clan is known for their sophisticated yet bold approach to life through personal style and interior design. When it comes to the latter, modern luxury is something the celebrity sisters have in common, and this week we've been eyeing Kendall Jenner's all-white living area.
The model and 818 Tequila founder recently posted a photo in her Easter vest (a flowing white dress). Her greige boucle matched perfectly with the sofa, carpet and white lamp.
The space is entirely cream and white, except for a large statement painting behind her. This monochrome look is a timeless trend for living spaces and creates a calming atmosphere, especially in white. White living rooms are often thought of as safe and (dare we say it) boring because of their aesthetic, but Jenner keeps her space from looking boring by using texture and, of course, injecting it with artwork. Guaranteed to be non-clinical. And of course, these shades are designer-approved and rock-solid.
“All-white plans are a popular choice for those looking for a fresh, tranquil space,” explains James Scaife, director at Olson & Baker. “The color white gives the impression of spaciousness, giving even the smallest room a sense of spaciousness and airiness. Acting as a versatile blank canvas, white can easily coordinate with any decorating style. It's all you need. This allows for flexibility in responding to future design changes.”

Directors, Olson and Baker
James Scaife is a director at the luxury furniture company Olson & Baker. His role allows him to observe purchasing trends before endorsing only the finest manufacturing methods, authentic materials and furniture designs designed to stand the test of time.
Scaife says one of the key properties of white is its ability to reflect light, resulting in a bright, sun-filled, inviting atmosphere.
“An all-white interior fosters a sense of tranquility and cleanliness,” he says. “They're establishing a tranquil sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation. Conversely, it also leaves you with an opportunity to add colorful accents or statement items, which add a personal touch and add a touch of glamor. It can create a focal point.”
To maintain this clean look, Scaife recommends investing in white storage solutions to clear away clutter and make your space feel as spacious as possible.
“These contribute to a consistent and organized space plan while enhancing the room's light and airy feel,” he says. And if that's good enough for Jenner, we're not going to argue with that.
