Most of us are curious about celebrity home interiors and celebrity home photos because we want to see how the other half really lives. Famous peoples' homes are especially intriguing because they have access to exclusive design resources which help create unique interiors. Many visitors to Hollywood often indulge in celebrity home tours or buy a celebrity home map, so that they can glance the architectural designs of their favorite stars. Two celebrities who have strong ties to the design world and famous home fashions include Kanye West and Lenny Kravitz.

Kanye West's Los Angeles House

In addition to being a Grammy Award winning musician and producer, Kanye West has a long-time love of interior design which is reflected in his stylish Los Angeles home. He even attended the American Academy of Art in Chicago where he studied fine art.

The over four thousand square foot house is comprised of three levels and features a modern minimalist design. Full of hip ideas gleaned from international hotel stays, Kanye spent three years remodeling and renovating the property to suit his tastes. An open concept makeover was given to the communal spaces of the house for a lofty vibe. Frameless glass was installed for terrific views and a weightless feeling at the windows.

Kanye incorporated elegant touches into his celebrity home interiors like French walnut wood floors and several modern crystal chandeliers. The contemporary style kitchen features a stained oak wood bar which is ten feet long and is topped with gleaming stainless steel. The master bedroom is brimming with famous home fashions like a minimalist bed by Italian architect and designer, Antonio Citterio, along with a plush fur throw and lavish fur pillows.

Famous peoples' homes are often filled with fabulous art collections, and Kanye's house is no exception. His affection for pop art is displayed with numerous paintings including Bob's Big Boy diner mascot by Burton Morris and Campbell's Soup Cans by Andy Warhol.
