The House That Divided Us - Kendall Jenner’s Mountain Home | Unpacking Iconic Homes

In the final episode of this season of Unpacking Iconic Homes, we head to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, to explore Kendall Jenner’s mountain retreat, designed by acclaimed interior designer Heidi Caillier.

This is definitely the most divisive home we've covered. Kate loves its warmth, personality and unexpected elements. Jenny thinks the bold design choices start competing with each other rather than working together.

From Viola marble and burgundy bathrooms to giant floral sofas, patterned wallpaper, and eclectic vintage-inspired details, we unpack what makes this house so memorable - and why it has sparked such strong reactions online. 

What we cover:

 Heidi Caillier's signature layered and eclectic design style  Why this home feels completely different from Kendall's previous Los Angeles house  The rise of cosy, collected interiors and the rejection of minimalist perfection  Pattern mixing, colour clashes and where personality becomes visual noise  Why some people see warmth and others see chaos  The psychology of "lived-in" luxury  What makes a home feel cohesive (or not!!) Which design ideas are worth borrowing and which are best left to Wyoming mountain chalets 

Design details mentioned

 Viola marble kitchen  Lacanche range cooker  Lee Jofa Hollyhock fabric sofa  Design Frères stools  Jefferson West bookshelves  Zia Tile  Farrow & Ball Brinjal  Farrow & Ball Salon Drab  Lisa Fine Textiles wallpaper  The Water Monopoly yellow sink  Charles P. Rogers bed  Finline Willow chair (similar to blue armchair in main bedroom)

Things we loved

 Open fireplaces  Timber-clad bathrooms  The wood kitchen island  The kitchen flooring  Kendall's use of books, art and personal collections  The sense of individuality running through the home 

The big debate:

Does the house feel beautifully layered and collected?Or does it feel like several strong design ideas competing for attention?

This episode is less about whether the house is objectively "good" and more about what happens when a designer prioritises personality over perfection.
