Meet The Designer Behind Kim Kardashian & Kanye West’s Home
As their family continues to grow, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West have been focused on making their 15,000-square-foot Hidden Hills home perfect. Since purchasing the $20 million property in 2014, the couple reportedly dropped another $20 million on just the renovations and have been collaborating with the master of minimalism, Axel Vervoordt.
Originally based out of Belgium, Vervoordt’s neutral and timeless style is similar to Kimye’s previous home. The Belgian designer is known for his pale-washed walls, salvaged beams and antiques juxtaposed with ancient sculpture and abstract paintings. His previous clients include Robert De Niro and Calvin Klein.
