“My fave room in my house,” wrote Kim Kardashian on an Instagram post. The picture shows her living room, with an asymmetric wooden table between a pale, cream-coloured sofa and set of chairs. The carpet is cream. The walls are cream. The empty hearth is cream, and the artwork above it —a small white square with three vertical slashes— is the only adornment in sight.
Kim is famous, among many things, for her love of minimalism. “I don’t think I started off so minimal, but after being with you I became way more minimal,” she says to her ex-husband Kanye West in an Architectural Digest video about their minimalist mansion in Calabasas, Los Angeles. “For me it’s how I organise and how I get things done. I know where every last thing is; there’s a place for everything, even if it’s hidden in the wall in a cabinet that you can’t see.”
