Kim Kardashian's love of 'neutral' knows no bounds in latest home tour

We’ve unpacked the soulless pit that is Kim Kardashian’s bathroom and the eerie hallways compared to the ‘sunken place’, but have we given you a tour of the star’s ‘neutral’ basketball court?

Kim’s house has absolutely baffled yet intrigued punters since she and ex-husband Kanye West poured bags of money into turning it into what can only be described as a live-in museum.

But, more power to Kim, with four kids with proclivities for running around the house with Sharpies and Cheeto-dusted fingers (or so we imagine), she’s stayed true to her vision of a perfectly cream, neutral, no random-vomitting-of-rainbows allowed, house.

Opening the doors for us via her latest video tour for Vogue, the Skims founder shared her kitchen, lounge, and personal reading room (where she drinks tea and scrapbooks, of course) before taking us out to the backyard, and also her drive-way where her grey cars were selected specifically to match the house.

Perhaps it’s not surprising Kim’s kids have their own spongey basketball court to get out their energy. However, what may raise the eyebrow is that it comes with a design caveat we’ve not yet experienced: the court is completely black, with cream hoops to fit in with the wider aesthetic.

That’s right, woe betide anyone who lets a kid’s basketball court get in the way of a total vibe.


Explaining the court was where her kids ‘love to be’, she said: ‘I didn’t want your typical basketball court…

‘I just wanted it really neutral, all my gym equipment is black, the court is black, with a cream little box and hoop.

‘I wanted it to look like it matched my whole house.’



And, fair play, fans were actually really here for the thing, after Kim explained while the main house is calm and serene in cream and neutral tones, the kids’ rooms are reflections of their personalities and filled with toys and bursts of colour clearly banned from the rest of the crib (she insisted the kids’ playroom is ‘filled with clutter’, which makes us feel a bit better about the situation).

One wrote on YouTube: ‘I used to think Kim’s house was one of my least favourite celeb houses bc it’s so creamy beige but her explanation of how chaotic the world is and the importance of having a clear clean house made so much sense, it seems so relaxing there 😍😍😍.’

Another felt it was the perfect template for bigger celebrations in the house, writing: ‘Omg her house, especially her backyard area is so calming. Like the interior felt like there’s nothing in it but idk it’s just real calming. I think the simple interior is just a blank canvas that you can easily change it up depending on holidays or events.’

‘Everything in my house is really minimal,’ Kim explained in the seven-minute-long tour. ‘There’s so much chaos out in the world that when I come home, I want it to be really quiet and I want everything to feel calming.’

It’s clear Kim knows what kind of hazard this house can pose, though, as she told the camera: ‘Shockingly, four kids hasn’t messed up my cream house.’

It’s the first look at the star’s house after her split with Kanye West, amid reports Kim scored the $60million (£44m) Hidden Hills house in the divorce, with Kanye reportedly buying a house across the road.
