A good eye is a good eye. From the few pictures, the definitely have a better sense of space/style than many of the nouveau-mediterranean, restoration hardware splattered, macmansions I've seen.

I believe that Kanye West is a horrible person. I don't care about his sense of style or his design aesthetic. Just sayin'.....

Hmmm, less gaudy than I expected, especially for Kanye...

I agree with Joe.

Hmmm .. should be interesting.

I think Kanye West has great style.

I'm not a huge fan of his, but I don't think he's a horrible person. A jerk. An incurable narcissist whose impulsive juvenile tendencies are left unchecked. But I think that calling him horrible is a bit of a stretch. Chris Brown is a horrible person. Charlie Sheen is a horrible person. Lindsay Lohan is pretty horrible due to her continued substance use and penchant for driving while under the influence. I reserve the title of horrible people for individuals whose actions are incredibly hateful or actually dangerous and not for people are insufferable.

I don't think Kayne is horrible either, just a little immature. I'm sure he'll grow up. His design style is impeccable, and he's actually a studied designer.

If you think about it, who better to guide you through the world of luxury living than a multi-millionaire rapper?

Um....yeah.

@Greige Kanye West is not a horrible person... he has issues but he isnt horrible. And Chris Brown is a young man made mistakes and needs help... I don't think that qualifies him as a horrible person either. The only person you mention that might really be a horrible Charlie Sheen. Calling someone a horrible [erson is strong words for people that we don't know on a personally for ourselves

ANYWAY on to the topic.... Kanye has great style

Paper to wipe your hands in YOUR OWN BATHROOM? Really?

So even if the design is spare, it's still all about consumption. Sigh.

I liked the big Jetson pictures.

is this a joke? seriously?

Why, yes, I'm absolutely sure that it's Kanye West himself who does those tweets and chooses all those furnishings; it certainly couldn't be his paid staff or anything.

Come on, folks, this has nothing to do with Kanye West; it's a project run by pros who pay Mr. West for the use of his name.

Whether it's great, good or bad design, the two examples you've given me are of misogynists (listen to their lyrics), I choose not to line the pockets of misogynists - I vote with my money and I choose to vote thumbs down - period.

Jay-Z's "taste" isn't too different from the starker pages of a ligne roset catalog.

agree fully with STH.

I'd reserve horrible for Saddam Hussein, Hitler, etc. Not narcissistic, pop-culture icons who don't think as often as we think they should.

I decorate my own house. I can only imagine how rockin' it would be if I could hire a designer that could make all my dreams come true with an unlimited budget. "Oh, Mr. Designer, I love that -- that is exactly my style." No, not really, it is the designer's interpretation of a style you really, really wish you could acquire on your own ;)

You may not agree with anyone's attitude, lyrics, or soapbox, BUT you can agree that they have the ability to make good choices if they are presented with good design concepts (or they have the ability to hire assistants who make good choices). I just don't see *the* artist shopping or researching. They are however great at associating their brand with fine things. Would I shop specifically for their brands? No. Would I admire some of the things presented in a good design? Yep. Personally, I don't think a hip-hop mogul's brand would attract me, but I am probably not their target audience either. As a designer or architect or artist, I'd line up to get my hands on their budgets.
Cheers!!
