Kanye West's Sleek West Coast Digs

September 11, 2007

Kanye West didn't take home any prizes at the 2007 Video Music Awards on Sunday — and he's none to happy about it either. But when it comes to interior design, the rapper totally rules. Check out this feature on his Los Angeles home from Interior Design magazine (via Stereogum) and you'll see what I mean.

According to the article, West studied fine art at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, and he's since amassed a very impressive collection of pop art and contemporary paintings, like this Takashi Murakami in the living room (above). From the looks of it, he's also quite fond of mid-century modern design, and I love the way his decor alternates between stark, subdued palettes and eye-popping color.

I don't like this at all. It's not my style at all. Plus, I really hate Kanye.

Pretty understated compared to his big mouth and cry baby personal style. Are we sure he decorated this or did an undisclosed designer do it? Doesn't match up...

It kills me to admit this, but I actually think his crib is awesome. I still think he's a huge anal opening, however.

homes* ?... whichever

very eclectic and modern. At least it's not loud and flashy like most celebrities' houses.

Very stark besides the pop art, I could see it suiting him well, especially the mural on the ceiling.

SassAndBide 5 years 36 weeks

its very eclectic...suits him well i guess..but kinda cool - its a guys room after all lol i dont have to entirely agree with it but for him its nice.
