Keeping up with the Kardashians is no easy feat, but one designer took on the challenge by giving Kris Jennerâs six-bedroom, eight-bathroom Hidden Hills, Calif., home a complete makeover. Dripping with old Hollywood glam and richly luxurious design, Jennerâs vision of a trendy yet sophisticated family base camp was brought to life by interior designer Jeff Andrews (who also designed the homes of daughters Kourtney, Khloe and, most recently, Kylie). Andrews helped Jennerâs dream home came true by creating what she calls âlivable glamour.â
Wondering how one house fits all? With six children and four (soon to be five!) grandchildren, the Kardashian-Jenner digs were designed to be a family affair. âKris is an amazing cook, and with a big family, the kitchen needed to be beautiful and worthy of entertaining, but also user-friendly,â Andrews says.From the sparkling crystal chandeliers above the formal dining table to a master bathroom where all things beauty, glam, and wardrobe happen, the Kardashian-Jenner house is the perfect fit for lavish living.PHOTOS: Take a Tour of Kris Jennerâs Hidden Hills Home
The producer of the reality TV show Keeping Up with the Kardashians never fails to make a statement, and this grand entrance is no exception. The vintage contemporary chandelier paired with a black and white checkered floor and double staircases screams sophisticated Hollywood glam.
Jenner cooks up Kardashian-Jenner family favorites pulled from her cookbook In the Kitchen with Kris ($22; amazon.com) in her family-style kitchen. Always making time to feed her growing family full of kids, grandkids, friends, and even exes, the kitchen offers multiple islands and plenty of countertop space designed for big meals.
The ultimate hostess, Jenner topped off her dining room with her own personal touches. âKris had several chandeliers scattered throughout the house, so I clustered three of my favorites above the dining table in a subtle, glamorous way,â Andrews says.
âLivability to me is rooms that get used, rooms that are loved, and rooms that are beautiful to look at, but also rooms that you want to be in,â says Andrews. With plush furniture and a large vintage fireplace, the living room of the Kardashian-Jenner house is one that we definitely want to be in!
The duties of a âmomagerâ donât come easy, so this busy mom stays on schedule with her stylish office. âHer office was important for meetings, and itâs her personal space that she uses daily, so it needed to reflect her personality, but also be functional,â says Andrews.
A high-profile lifestyle calls for a high-class closet. With enough space to fit more shoes than we can even dream of, Jennerâs closet is complete with a mirrored center island, a patterned ceiling, and designated storage shelving with a Birkin to go with every blazer.
Focused on a reduced palette with black, white, gray and an infusion of neutrals and metallic, âeverything works together in harmony,â says Andrews. With cashmere, fine wools, and silk, elegant glamour pours through the master bedroom. âKris likes luxurious and really good-to-touch, tactile things,â he adds. âHer personality is everywhere in her home.â
Jennerâs master bathroom is a glam room, makeup room, and wardrobe room. As one of the top priorities in the home makeover, the master bathroom balances beauty with function.
Even the busiest of families take time to relax, but Jennerâs backyard has been known for much more than that. From her 58th backyard birthday bash to her annualâand extravagantâChristmas party, Jennerâs backyard was built for entertaining.
