There is something utterly captivating about Kendall Jenner’s mountainside home – a retreat where color and pattern are celebrated with fearless elegance. After a year dominated by stark minimalism, stepping into this space feels like a joyful exhale. Under the masterful guidance of Heidi Caillier, Jenner has created a home that is at once playful, grounding, and deeply personal – a modern interpretation of grandma-chic that feels entirely lived-in.
I have always been drawn to daring room color ideas. Long before I pursued a career writing about interiors, I studied color theory with fascination, obsessing over the emotional resonance of each hue and the way shades interact in a space. That training informs everything I do now, and it is why Kendall’s confident, layered palette makes me sit up in awe.
From brinjal aubergine walls to chartreuse and wine-hued Zia tiles, with flashes of unexpected red appearing in nearly every room, jewel-toned blues punctuate upholstery and accessories with confidence. Each choice feels deliberate yet effortless. Pattern is woven throughout the home with equal intention – delicate florals, hand-blocked prints, and richly tactile textures creating a rhythm that feels harmonious, layered, and quietly surprising.
Heidi Caillier's design philosophy further elevates Jenner’s instincts. She believes that the soul of a home comes from layering texture, color, and pattern, drawing on heirlooms, tactile fabrics, and subtle nods to history. Her spaces are never static; they feel timeless yet playful, intimate yet elevated.
In Jenner’s mountain retreat, as shared on Architectural Digest, this approach is evident everywhere – from floral upholstery stretched across a monumental Lee Jofa sectional to vibrant tiles and statement wallpaper that nod to vintage inspiration while feeling entirely contemporary. The result is a home that feels alive, joyful, and profoundly welcoming.
What thrills me most is the sense of liberation in Kendall’s rich color palette. In a world that has leaned toward muted, restrained tones, this home is a radiant reminder of what interiors can be when color is embraced with confidence.
Every hue, every print, every carefully considered texture contributes to a space that invites lingering, conversation, and warmth. It’s a masterclass in using color and pattern not just to decorate a room, but to breathe life into it.
I can’t help but admire Kendall’s home – it’s the perfect antidote to minimalism, a place where bold, grounding color meets personality, and where thoughtful design creates a sanctuary that feels lived in, loved, and endlessly inspiring.
It’s a vivid celebration of color, a testament to the art of layering, and a reminder that the most memorable interiors are those that evoke a deep and immediate emotional response.
