[@krussell89]

This home is like a modern art museum. I grew up going to different art museums and noticed the white neutral backdrop and how all the pieces and artwork would stand out. Overtime I bought stone pedestals and large greco-roman urns and vases to create your design on a much smaller scale when I bought my own home. This beach home makes me so happy! Thank you for sharing it.

[@Angelfeather100]

Definitely a tribute to stones. Stone over stone over stone. Overwhelming, heavy, busy with patterns, busy with statement pieces and cold, lacking balance, calm, warmth, cosiness. But there are many interesting pieces and interesting ideas too.

[@shesfrench]

Wow her house blew me away, re-watching to take it all in

[@CARMARCUSO]

She is a power house. Now at days all the houses want to look trendy, but that’s not efficient. So Kelly’s work is timeless you can said it’s too heavy or too much but is her own style not a Pinterest copy decor. I love how people do things in her own way.

[@ameliaodell9505]

“Nothing in the house is precious…”🙄uhhh

[@Ksenia_mua]

yeah :) sounds funny haha

[@heidimills2226]

Hahahaaa!

[@robertwagner7122]

😂

[@carliemarshall1693]

This is the most incredible home I’ve ever seen. Absolutely beautiful.

[@minimalismmoi9407]

I loooove everything,it just bring this incredible super human feeling dimension ….Could imagine living in this environment ..this house is a statement in itself …Add maybe red flowers to give a colour focal point as well in bouquets in the kitchen ..but overall it’s just stunning !!!!

[@avayu2289]

Certain pieces are interesting but way too cluttered, almost like a shop instead of home.

[@nyalih929]

Yeah, definitely looks like she's just showcasing her wares for potential clients.

[@OddWeird461]

Beautiful. I can't imagine that many of the furniture pieces are comfortable to sit on, but still amazing to look at.

[@sohilronagh286]

Beautiful over all some stunning peices of furniture and art you've inputed. The only criticism I have is of the column marbel tiles in the dining and the Calacata benchtop marbel in kitchen, seems like they are competeing and makes it too busy. you don't know which one to focus onto to look at and the colours contrasting making it too busy. in isolation they both work together not so much! Over all a beautiful home.

[@nonofoolekeng413]

What a beautiful home. My favourite designer.

[@mariatheodoulou9130]

This house and Jennifer Anistons house are the 2 best homes I have seen and thought omg wow great homes

[@mansiupadhyay9296]

Ahhh gosh I love this so much 😳😭💖

[@lisab3748]

There are beautiful elements in this. The light, the overall color scheme, the floors, the kitchen, railings. I find that marble wall downstairs looks gaudy, like an old office building trying to look classy. Overall, too many different types of stone.

[@dianavangeles]

stunning, like everything she makes ...

[@caityburgett]

So inspirational

[@cavales.5519]

shebos extremely talented. I like to think I know design but seeing this art masterpiece has told me i know nothing. that staircase, the bench in front of the bed, the doors of the closet, the credenza...the lamps on the credenza. I would consider myself lucky to own any single item.

[@darinroberts3528]

Enjoy the water😛😛😛😛🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌏🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞

[@vladimirobradovic1805]

who cleaning this house anyway?

[@MonicaElaineSolis]

Ficus trees are so messy please don’t ever get one of these!!! But love everything else

[@artespinturaanaestrela2607]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@fakenorwegian4743]

MO-mentos. That's funny. But I will give her a thumbs up because she said the word important correctly. She pronounced the letter T in the middle of the word important like an adult.

[@anitavirginillo]

All that marble is simply obscene.

[@brearegans7980]

Jesus is your free gift to heaven when you believe in his death, burial and resurrection you are immediately saved

[@alec2323]

I want clarification, did she say the cabinets in kitchen were made of fur?! She said skinned. Wild

[@cocopaulette]

"Doug fir" It's made of skinned Douglas fir trees. Wood... Never heard of that technique, but it does look like driftwood.

[@heatherdean7793]

It’s douglas fir. That is a common Christmas tree.

[@lenn452]

I'm so glad I found this comment lmao I was so creeped out when I (mis)heard that 🤣

[@xiomiminer]

Musoleum style

[@incompris]

Janet Jackson’s former home

[@AlexSami-qw4qu]

Beautiful but a bit too much going on. I think it would have worked better in a larger space so everything could be spaced out more and you can appreciate the different areas. This seems a bit cluttered for the space.

[@mireille1594]

It reminds me a little bit of a mausoleum.

[@theaansel8738]

Voracious consumption

[@lemonspica]

Yes and I wouldn't visit even if I were undead.

[@siwash99]

As usual googling to see what the rich husband does to pay for all this

[@romitaroy4089]

Even the dog is textured.

[@brightgreenleaves]

😂

[@CSergiu1993]

too much everything! too much marble, too much arts, too much references. you can't breath in this 'home'! on the pathway to reach the beautiful view you are overwhelm by visual informations, but the only element really metter is the ocean. Less is more!

[@maureene7138]

Beautiful but it feels like there is too much focal pieces, making the house seem a bit clustered and overwhelming

[@hamletwong5820]

Ooh,some good pieces and crazy view but very heavy indeed.

[@人民领袖-s9z]

Lack of beauty. Just accumulation of building materials!

[@cecilianagy3562]

The "patina brass light fixtures" are used saw-blades lol.

[@terrybear5398]

You cracked me up! They DO look like old saw blades!

[@DavidAlli]

I photograph million-dollar homes and I shot this house a few years ago. This was one of my favorite homes to shoot. One reason I love my job is, I get to see world-class designers' work, like this one, every day. I loved everything about this home.

[@doingitdavy1507]

Jealous A.F.!!!! For me, she is so Choice!!! Literally she is a Goal o f mine, to be able to work with her on my own place. I would give her complete control, cause there really is nothing i dont Like! Ok, Ok, i might have a weee bit of a crush on her too!

[@binaryvoid0101]

Same. She definitely has taste. I love representational art and I see a lot of it in her home. I’m obsessed.

[@areejfarhan8946]

Do you have pics of the exterior?

[@dimplesd8931]

So jealous…

[@alinekhoury3810]

Interesting. But too many bold textures and statement pieces, creates a sort of heaviness inside a home that is supposed to reflect the vibe of a calm and free moving beach. Plus the kitchen feels like it has been thrown into a dark corner. I love her designs and creations but her home is borderline too much.

[@dianabernal7539]

omg I also felt that heaviness!

[@karaderese6582]

Word!

[@hsmd4533]

Yeah, way too much. It’s overdone. She’s been a celeb-designer for many years now but I always found her rather gimmicky, and this video confirms that.

[@ceregirl5852]

totally agree!

[@elsvrielinck3639]

She is a DESIGNER...

[@marlonliporada9103]

gorgeous overall, but since overly gorgeous. there is no blank space where ur senses can rest, ur just in awe every-time - so more like of a showroom for me. all are accent pieces. dont get m,e wrong. i super love her aesthetics but over all are competing and highlighting where in ur eyes cant rest - there is absence of homey, coziness, lax living and chill - its going borderline stiff and overpowering gorgeous but i guess thats what artists do and live for.

[@UnseenSpirit]

That's the thing with interior design. It is like art or music where your gut will be drawn to it. You should have what you like in life as a goal if you can afford it. Interior design should always be what you want if you're able to.

[@albertinadebeer4309]

I got cold watching this...freezing cold

[@Momma_AL]

It’s so over the top. She said the focus is the ocean but there’s so much going on in their home. 😳

[@drakedrones]

Remember: her home is also a place where she probably entertains a lot of her business clients, so she must have to use her space to showcase her field of expertise.

[@alicebiscuits3954]

I would say that the rest in a chair watching the ocean. This the place to rest.

[@camilla6110]

This has to weigh more than any other house in the world. ☺️

[@schnaftipufti]

It's a museum, not a home.

[@ssuwandi3240]

Too matchy matchy I can't believe she's a US top designer

[@juanasangels]

Also, who else is just waiting on Arvin Olano’s reaction? 🙋🏽‍♀️

[@josephinebournes8212]

I really don't get folks' love of Arvin. I started out loving his channel but soon realized he was more flamboyant personality than actual interior design. There is nothing innovative about his design style.

[@juanasangels]

@@josephinebournes8212 it’s his personality and sense of humor that brings me back.

[@michelleoconnor516]

There’s nothing original about Arvin Olano’s interior design, he copies other interior designers and one of them is Kelly.

[@CeeCee630]

I usually like Kelly’s designs but this felt heavy-handed and chaotic with so many weighty pieces and textures.

[@hanhnhu4653]

kelly design is exactly what this it tho

[@helentesfaye4099]

I really felt the same and was wondering how to describe it 😁

[@joohsay]

@@hanhnhu4653 lol

[@joohsay]

yeah, but thats what she always does. I cant take it. She usu have a couple of sick vintage pieces and everything else belongs in the garbage. Bc its too overwhelming. She is very overrated as a designer.

[@CeeCee630]

@@joohsay perfect word … overwhelming.

[@garyrobertson6778]

beautiful. but geez, i wish people on these house tours would stop saying "actually" all the time.

[@jeanpe1040]

What a cool house! Very unique Love the huge tree - but I could do without the excessive amount of marble.

[@lynnf.6649]

Collectively overdone and busy, however, I can appreciate individual elements...

[@maldiviansun8500]

I imagine this is their “show” home for entertaining, guests, design clients and her photo shoots - basically a residential gallery that is the physical manifestation of her design ethos. They probably have other homes - maybe even one nearby - where they do their day-to-day living. There wasn’t one sofa that was lounge worthy in the joint - a telltale sign of a secondary property used primarily for aesthetics.

[@AthalieM]

I'm inclined to agree with you BUT she does have a house -- in LA, I think -- that is even more gallery-like than this one. There are videos on YT. Some people just live like this, I guess. I love to look at it, and if money were no object would incorporate certain aspects of her aesthetic (that courtyardish area and ficus! the bold marble!), but everything looks so hard...

[@izabellazawadzka5936]

her la house is a bit simpler but as an artsy person this one doesn't feel like too much to me ;P

[@Squid893]

I lived in a house like this as a kid in Malibu and this is so true lmao. I always thought it was a cool house, but not “home-y” feeling at all. It felt more like a museum instead.

[@leoprg5330]

The abundance of marble makes the kitchen not for everyone. The entertainment room though! It's spacious and sculptural yet cosy and the light wood makes it look very homey to me.

[@ChandraNYC]

This is her beach house. This is how they live.

[@everythinghope3825]

Feels a little cold and harsh even though its location is at a warm climate. Its like a tour of an art museum rather than a livable space..

[@haidehollins]

To each its own, but this looks & feels more like a museum than home. No comforting furniture at all. But I guess if she sleeps well at night here 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@adelasefora]

Honestly I 100% agree with you. There's way too much marble for starters

[@Sookielein]

@@adelasefora You nailed it lol Couldn't agree more.

[@oveove2332]

I could never relax in that house..: way to heavy with the marble .. remains me a new rich ppl from the 70s

[@pennyschild6131]

Too much stone marble not enough light showcasing the ocean. She’s extraordinarily talented. I get a claustrophobic vibe.

[@lemonspica]

I don't believe she is talented. The idea is to integrate it all. She has no clue how. it's all in disharmony, bad energy.

[@diegomgudiel]

Kelly do u need another dog? I can bark

[@rmonson5002]

I'm going to be in the minority here, but I think she's overrated. Would she even be able to design an average house of average scale for the average person? Everything is massive in this massive house and overly theatrical. IMHO.

[@lorrilewis2178]

Well, she's known for theatrical designs, but I hear you. While I think she's very talented, I could never live in her designs. Though I have preferred some of her other projects more than this one.

[@rmonson5002]

@@lorrilewis2178 All true. She is definitely known for her theatricality (is that word?) and I like to look at her designs for that very reason. They are fantastical in the extreme. She is a true mix master which I envy. If I tried that it would look like a hot mess I'm sure. That said, I just can't imagine living here even if I were a movie star. I'd be afraid I'd make a mess or break the ginormous conch shell or whatever the hell. Or slip and fall on the marble and crack my clavicle. Have I shared too much?

[@lorrilewis2178]

@@rmonson5002 No, you are right. There is too much hard edges in so much design today. You feel you'd break a bone if you fell down or bumped into the wrong object. ;)

[@svietka202]

at some point i had to turn off the sound...this is chaos, there is nothing INCREDIBLE (a word she used 100 time in the first 6min) or amazing or earthy about this house. the only face saving value of this craziness is that it's HER home so she did it totally to HER taste and needs so who cares if we like it or not. SHE lives there and its everything she loves and needs and its pleasing to HER eye.

[@lesliecarleton4507]

The only downside to this house is that if you get the flu you have to get a hotel room to find a comfortable place to watch tv and take a nap.

[@mehreensajid8473]

Its like a museum instead of a house... Perfect ocean view❤

[@user-ef5id9km3p]

Two words I wouldn't use to describe this house, easy and homey. Two words I would use, art gallery. Stunning home.

[@PatrinaOzurumba]

it's not for me but she put a lot of thought into it.

[@SenoritaJ]

I just wonder about erosion since the house is really touching the water...

[@giuliantoneIIi]

Why does it feel like she is low-key screaming

[@rmonson5002]

Hahaha! I am so glad someone else noticed. Her voice has always grated on my nerves. I think it's the upspeak or uptalk she does at the end of every sentence. It bugs.

[@meshiawriter]

I bet her outfit cost thousands, but it looks very Goodwill. It's weird how famous people pay to look like us commoners

[@Sarah-ov4uk]

What are the other 4 I'm curious! 😅

[@laurenjojo]

just so everyone knows, she married someone super wealthy she worked super hard for her own firm, but don't think that just anyone can achieve this level of design (marble everything). We can certainly take inspiration from my favorite designer the last 6 years.

[@cathyphegley7414]

Looks like something out of the future. Very cold and hard. But it’s also stunning. All those beautiful materials and the art. But more like living in a museum. Excellent design

[@metislamestiza3708]

there are certain elements of this home that are really stunning. however too much of everything in this case is not the final result i'd want to achieve. i love marble but that kitchen looks very cold and sterile, like the rest of the house. those stairs look a nightmare. the view is spectacular, obviously.

[@ASIT7TR]

alot of stunning stuff but for me, but overall it's just "too much", your eyes difficult to rest.... i wont be able to relax inside that house.... probably they need to go outside (the beach or the ocean) to escape ...lol

[@RobTSLA]

Yeah, too much marble confusing the space and pillars ugh. It looks a bit dirty looking like someone's been smoking in there with the yellow tones. In addition, like there is too much stuff in there, the focal point should be the ocean and the interior should reflect that with white / blues

[@sagerie37]

[@NBportofino]
