Kendall Jenner told Vogue she intends to step away from modeling to focus on designing homes, saying she will "stop everything and just design homes." The revelation came during a joint Vogue conversation and photo spread with her friend, model Gigi Hadid, who called Jenner "one of the only people" she would allow to decorate her house.
Jenner said she is already building a home "out West" and described a preference for a simpler, more private routine. "I like getting up every morning and throwing on a bathing suit or sweatpants and no makeup and just being free with my day," she told the magazine. The conversation emphasized Jenner's desire to spend less time in the spotlight and more time shaping living spaces.
Jenner, who founded the tequila brand 818, also described how much she values anonymity and normalcy. She recalled traveling to the Netherlands with Hadid and going incognito at the Efteling theme park, and she said she enjoys competing in horse shows while dressed like other riders and using a different name. "I love to feel normal," Jenner told Vogue, noting that blending in at equestrian events and other activities allows her to live more privately.
Interest in interior design is not new for Jenner. During last year's holiday season she gave Architectural Digest a tour of her Los Angeles home, which she described as "cozy," and showcased furnishings including a mustard-colored corduroy couch, a real wood fireplace and a cream-and-brown gingham tablecloth. Jenner said she works with floral designer Jeff Leatham on seasonal displays and aimed for Christmas wreaths that would "look as organic as possible." An Instagram clip of the Architectural Digest tour drew praise in the comments for the home's lived-in feel.
The Vogue interview comes weeks after Jenner spoke publicly about the appearance of her lips, attributing their fullness to makeup and overlining rather than fillers. She said she favors L'Oreal's Plump Ambition Hyaluron Lip Oil, a mass-market product that the company markets as containing hyaluronic acid and peptides.
Jenner's comments reflect a broader trend among public figures exploring projects beyond their original careers. As Jenner frames the shift as a move toward a quieter personal life and a new professional focus, she joins other celebrities who have diversified into businesses and creative work outside their initial fields. Jenner did not provide a timeline for when she would stop modeling or formalize a career change, and it was not immediately clear whether she plans to pursue formal training in architecture or interior design.
Her remarks underscore a long-standing interest in home aesthetics that has appeared across media appearances and reality programming. If Jenner follows through on designing houses professionally, she would add a visible design portfolio to a public profile that already includes modeling, business ventures and television appearances.
