Gigi Hadid is all the rage in the modeling world, with legions of fans fascinated by her every move and outfit. It turns out that Gigi's good taste extends to the home, too. Her New York City apartment reflects the same understated yet chic aesthetic she rocks on the red carpet, on the runway, and when hanging out with her reported new boyfriend, Zayn Malik.
Gigi's Manhattan space, which she decorated with the help of her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star mom Yolanda Foster, is an overwhelmingly white jewel box with a number of personal touches. Thanks to Gigi and her friends' big presence on social media, it's easy to understand a few of Gigi's key interior decorating rules.
White Kitchens Never Go Out of Style
Gigi's all-white kitchen looks pristine and chic despite the real-girl clutter.
Stock Up on Coffee Table Books
Gigi might only be 19, but she appreciates a good drinks book. She has a copy of Vintage Cocktails in a nook underneath her coffee table, along with a number of other chic tomes.
Don't Be Afraid to Mix Materials
Gigi's white leather and chrome chairs make a major statement in her sitting room.
Remember, Windows Are Key
Gigi's floor-to-ceiling windows provide a luxurious view of the city outside.
Incorportate Personal Mementos
On Gigi's media console are a handful of family photos, including one of her on a horse as a child. The photos give the apartment a very personal touch.
Vignettes Are Perfect
Gigi captured a lovely shot of her decorative bowls, candle, and bouquet atop her coffee table.
Unleash Your Inner Child
You're never too old to have a memento from childhood, whether it's a huge stuffed animal, sentimental picture, or something else entirely.
Hang Gallery Walls in Moderation
Above Gigi's couch hang a number of pictures in a gallery wall formation. She and her mother, Yolanda, didn't overdo it on the gallery wall, proving yet again that moderation is key when trying out home decor trends.
Think of the Space as a Whole
Gigi and Yolanda thought of the living space in its entirely, not as a collection of a rug, sofa, and chairs. Throughout the space they emphasized common themes, including clean lines, chrome, books, and the color white.
Cozy Throws Are a Must
Gigi added a comfy white throw to her living room, lending a cozy vibe to the space.
You Don't Have to Go All-Out on Seasonal Decor
Less can definitely be more when it comes to getting a home ready for the holiday season.
