Kanye West's Interior Decorating: A Lot Like His Sampling Style
Interiordesign.net invites you into the crib of Kanye West, the man who'll "never return to MTV." In the pictorial tour, photographer Art Gray captures a side of 'Ye you've never seen before: the man loves his pop art, his shopping bags, and dining under the heavens.
That piece is hanging on his dining room ceiling and is titled A Life Restored, which "pivots around the gleaming brownish flesh tones of Kanye West receiving his new life’s aura from a descending angel." Also, he's got quite the sneaker collection...
Can you spot the McFlys?
Unsurprisingly, the pad's decked in Murakami, from acrylics to pillows. He's also got a thing for silkscreens (by Warhol and of Marilyn Monroe, to name a couple). Mix that with his attempt to tie together 18th century marble, 19th century wood, and paintings of LeRoy Jetson, and Kanye's cross-genre audio sampling style's starts to feel deep-rooted. Authentic, even! Or maybe it starts to reveal itself to be a slapdash mess of A/V inconsistency. None of this is gonna change your mind, but it'll make good fodder for your next Kanye debate. Take the grand tour for yourself by clicking here, and have your Westian predispositions confirmed.

How big an ego must you have to have that thing on your own ceiling?
Still, it's more interesting than the piece on my ceiling, "What Happens When You Crush A Moth On The Ceiling With An Unstable Bottle Of Maple Syrup".
Jackson Pollack would have thought it was bitchin'.

in defense of kanye's hype, i have to say i've heard two cars go by in the last hour playing his tracks, but none of 50 Cent's.

man.. that painting on the ceiling and the chair in the bathroom are bad.. but the rest of the house is pretty fucking cool looking. definitely better than the ying yang twins' "nautical room"

I like that bathroom tub a lot! Also the marble and wooden floors. So basically the entire house sans all his tacky adornments.

I take great pleasure in knowing that most of these MCs get their cribs foreclosed quicker than one can say "roc-a-fella".
His counterpart Fiddy bought a mansion last year in Connecticut with FIFTY (50!) friggin' rooms - and the only person living in it was little ol' Curtis and his lonely ass.

I love what Kanye did with his place. His dining room is by far my favorite, I love the ceiling art. The pop art is also very cool, I’ve always been a fan of Warhol! Interior decorating is so much fun! I enjoy looking through interior decorating magazines and my favorite design show is by far Design Star. Have you seen that show? If not, check out the season finale this Sunday Sept. 16 @ 9pm on HGTV. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite designer @ http://www.hgtv.com. I work w/them so just wanted to give u the inside scoop! I voted for Kim Myles! Who are you gonna vote for?
