(UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2022) Investigation: Does Kylie Jenner or Kim Kardashian Own Any Furniture?
This story has been updated with new information (September 2022). The original post is below the updates.
After extensive investigation, we have strong reason to believe neither television personality Kim Kardashian nor cosmetics executive Kylie Jenner have invested in furniture. Our report suggests they may rent furniture, but based on a deep analysis, there is no evidence they actually enjoy furniture or are aware of its intended functionality. Life without furniture could be comparable to living in squalor, and with little or no physical stimulation, this reality could negatively affect childhood development for the Kardashian (Saint, North, Chicago, and Psalm) and Jenner/Webster (Stormi, Wolf) children.
Does Kylie Jenner or Kim Kardashian Own Any Furniture? 2022 Update: The More Things Change…
It’s been several years since we initially entertained the conspiracy that the Jenner’s don’t own any furniture, don’t like furniture, or don’t know how to use it. Since 2019, Kylie has moved house, raised two children, and grown her beauty empire. Kim has had even more momentous life changes. But in the meantime, has anyone bought any furniture?
This photo of Stormi from October 2020 (over a year after our initial investigation) seems to be evidence that Kylie was compelled to respond to our claims, at least symbolically. Furniture here is still exceptionally sparse and unsettling in form (the low, long chairs in the background… is that a dining room?). Furniture started to appear in some photos, but they’re inappropriate for daily living by virtue of low practicality or poor placement.

… The More Things Stay the Same.
Kylie continues to avoid using furniture directly, as she’s done since at least 2019. Continues to sit on the floor (reference content further down the story).

Kimberly has always shown an aversion to using furniture. Here she is dining on the floor.
Flower Arrangements as Furniture Continues
To this day, there is chronic use of flower installations as furniture. This has been a favored decorating technique of the Kardashians since at least 2017.
Does Kylie Jenner Live in a Level of The Backrooms?
Since the publishing of this article in 2019, a phenomenon known as the backrooms has become a mainstream internet curiosity and collective effort in legend building.
Example of a backroom (4chan)
We can see strong evidence that Kylie’s sense of interior design is dependent on the backroom school of design. That is to be lacking context, natural sources of light, a general sense of place, and an inordinate amount of hallways or hallway-like spaces.

More Improper Use of Furniture

Kim on… something, 2022
So the story continues. There may be no conclusion to it. But mounting evidence continues to suggest the Kardashians only have a few pieces of furniture to call their own. Instead they choose mirrors, “forms”, and hallways as conduits for comfort.

Barely furnished room, nowhere to sit.
Chronically sitting on the floor
In our extensive observations, we found Kylie Jenner sat on the floor for more than a third of her instagram photos taken at home, suggesting a distinctive lack of suitable seating vehicles such as:
sofas
settees
divans
daybeds
couches
poufs,
ottomans
chairs
Take a look at the damning proof that Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian have no furniture, don’t know how to use furniture, or don’t like furniture:
What about that recent Architectural Digest Shoot?
Kylie Jenner has never shared any photos from rooms that resemble this one featured in Architectural Digest.
There is simply no compelling evidence that Kylie Jenner actually occupies the space that was used in the Architectural Digest shoot. It is easy to rent space and hire an interior designer or set stylist for a day. The Architectural Digest shoot is a protective effort deployed to fend off suspicions that Kylie Jenner doesn’t like furniture and doesn’t own any. We also know no one really lives in the house used in the Architectural Digest shoot because the dining table had curved edges. Can you imagine the food disasters from one of the kids eating at a curved table? We’re not convinced.
Eye of the Storm(i)
Here we have the beautiful Stormi, but take a look at the curiously spare room behind this charming flower installation. No matter how you slice it, flower installations are not furniture.
Kardashian Obsession with Flower Installations as Furniture.
Surely one of the most alarming aspects of this is the chronic use of elaborate flower installations in lieu of furniture. We’re not in the business of telling people what to spend money on, but we’ve found that thew Kardashians spend far more on elaborate flower installations than furniture.

Kardashian children and rapper Kanye West occupy a room furnished with an elaborate floral installation.
With no logs on the fire and not a viable seating option in sight beyond a piano bench, is this appropriate decoration for a home with children?
To regard those tan objects as “seating” calls for a stretch of the imagination. Note the elaborate floral arrangement.
Heartbreakingly spare expression of home life by the furniture-less Kardashian family.
More void from the Kardashians. Elaborate flower installation.
Perhaps no one told them how to furnish a home.
Erring on the side of mere ignorance and lack of knowledge, I would happily give the Kardashian and Jenner families a brief tutorial and history of home furnishings. It seems there is an occasional attempt at furnishing spaces, but they are not always exactly right. Perhaps education and awareness is the answer.

Perhaps we’re interpreting this improperly. Maybe, we love what happened here. Maybe the Kardashian and Jenners are lightyears ahead of interior designers- opting for Steve Jobs-esque barren comfort, depending on lighting and a good air conditioning system to support home life. Are we opposed? Not necessarily. We’re just curious.

Barren bathroom. There is also no discernible shower barrier/shower curtain or any mechanism suggesting containment of water.
Completely over-designed and uncomfortable/unusable chair, but a chair nonetheless.
Desolate and similar to the decoration in Osama Bin Laden’s last compound, but visible furniture arranged in a logical way.
Barely furnished living room, cups of yogurt or hummus on the floor in the background suggest lack of table.
A bed, but no dresser or armoire.

Alternative: they all share furniture
Khloe and Kourtney famously shared a Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG. And the frequency of a certain sectional white sofa and white piano appearing in random Kardashian/Jenner homes is alarming. It is entirely possible the whole of the Kardashian/Jenner empire share about one dozen pieces of art and furniture.
