Kim Kardashian's Home Is the Definition of Spa-Core—Yup, It's a Thing Right Now

Stains be damned, there’s an emerging home decor trend I don’t think even the most type A of clean freaks are ready

for: enter spa-core. It's pretty much everything you'd expect from such a name—think palettes of calming shades like oatmeal and white, along with earthy, minimal accents. It's a less is more approach that's meant to soothe and relax versus overwhelm the eye.

Perhaps the best example yet of the aesthetic comes from none other than queen of neutrals, Kim Kardashian. In an IG post captioned “My fave room in the house,” Kardashian unveiled a glimpse of her infamously bare living room (if you’ve seen that episode of 73 Questions you’ll know exactly what I mean), in which nothing in the room is darker than a piece of toast. Immediately my thoughts first jumped to all of the likely scenarios in which I’d completely ruin a pristine space like that with accidental coffee stains. Next, I couldn't help but marvel at its stylish immaculateness.

While the shift towards neutral decor has long been a thing (especially for millenials), spa-core takes things to a whole new level of minimalism. There seems to be a few pillars to achieving such a zen, spa-like atmosphere: a white couch is a key element as well as a light-colored rug to help pull everything together, among more. Ahead, keep reading to see how tastemakers are pulling off the spa-core trend as well as how to bring a little relaxation into your own home.  Yes, it may require some upkeep but there’s nothing a bit of bleach and a magic eraser can’t fix.
