Gigi Hadid Just Moved Into A Remodeled $5.8M Apartment She Designed Herself And People Are Making Fun Of Her Bizarre Design Choices
Interview
25-year-old American fashion model Gigi Hadid recently gave a virtual tour of her newly renovated apartment in Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood. She turned it into a stylish yet weird wonderland. On the one hand, it’s full of chaotic energy, good vibes, and awesome features. On the other hand, some people think it’s a bit bizarre.
Social media’s abuzz with talks about her multi-million-dollar apartment that she spent a whole year designing and decorating herself. The model’s apartment also caught the eye of comedian and podcaster Cait Raft who walked us through Hadid’s bizarre interior design choices that somehow seem to work. (Sometimes.) Read on for Bored Panda’s interview about Hadid’s renovation with Cait who also discusses other celebrity real estate and interior design choices on her gossip podcast “Hot and Rich.”
And have a look for yourselves at the photos that Hadid shared and let us know what you think, dear Pandas. Especially about the pasta-filled cabinets and the giant yellow pen. (Personally, I love all of the bold and bright colors but far from everyone agrees!)

“The thing that first caught my eye was the rainbow pasta cabinet doors. It haunts me. There’s something so completely wrong about it. It’s like a college dorm cafeteria from 2002. It’s such a boldly wrong design choice that I almost respect it. It’s like she had the option between black and white cabinets and she said, ‘No, give me rainbow pasta.’ Maybe she’s a genius,” Cait told us about what stood out for her the most in Hadid’s apartment.
In the celeb expert’s opinion, the design choices that Hadid made indicate that she’s a free spirit. “I’m sure there were a ton of people who tried to talk her out of the billiard ball countertop basket or the mismatched set of living room skis but Gigi held her own. I like it when a young woman isn’t afraid to go boldly in the direction of her dreams. Even if those dreams end up manifesting in the form of a bad college-dorm-with-an-unlimited-budget design aesthetic,” Cait said.
But what would she change in Hadid’s apartment if she could alter anything? Well, Cait had some ideas. “I would encourage Gigi to double down on her chosen aesthetic. I’d say, ‘Go full TGIFridays with it.’ Let’s nail some novelty license plates to the wall. Let’s taxidermy a fish and cover it in glitter. I think she can’t just go halfway and put one giant pen in a corner. Let’s get a whole giant pen basket. A giant ruler, a giant protractor. Her bathroom is too tame compared to the rest of the house, I’d add a cave or a waterfall in there. She has the money, she could make this a full-on theme park if she wanted to.”
Hadid posted more pics of her new place:

Social media users were divided about what to think of Hadid’s apartment. Some people really disliked her design choices and sense of style while others thought that the apartment looks great.
According to Elle and the New York Post, Hadid owns two units in her building that she allegedly plans to combine. She bought her first 2-bedroom apartment for 3.97 million dollars in 2015 and she bought the second 3-bedroom unit for 5.82 million dollars in December 2018.
The apartment that Hadid showcased on her Instagram account is most likely the second one. It’s fancy through and through: it also has a private terrace with a barbecue grill, a fire pit, and even an outdoor fridge.
People had very different opinions about Hadid’s renovated apartment

I have a problem withe line “We Need To Talk About Gigi Hadid’s Interior Design Choices For Her $5.8 Million Manhattan Apartment”. It's her apartment and she should be able to do whatever she likes to do with her money without being shamed for it. Since she has posted photos of her apartment we can talk about it but there is no "need" to do so, no matter whether anyone likes it or not.

Yes, I actually feel like much of the tone of the article is inviting readers to make fun of her and her design choices. I like her ideas. She's designed the home she wanted, and carried it out. Good for her.

Who cares how someone chooses to decorate their own place? If she likes it, good for her!

Sure, but then she shared it, because that's what she does. So it is open to criticism. And the criticism is that money sure as hell can't buy good taste.

I wish I had the money for a big place of my own to decorate how I want to so people can b***h about what isn't their business.

I love the whole thing. The whole bland colors-minimalism-hanging lights look that everyone has currently is boring and bleak to my eyes. She's using color, creativeness and doing it her own way. Beautiful!

I have to agree! Her style is for her and not for everyone else. Good for Gigi

I don't see why everyone is bashing on her for what she chose to put in her own home. None of us have the same taste so why does it matter. She posted photos because she is proud of her year long project being finished. I don't know who she is tbh and I don't like some things in her house but if it makes her happy being there then who are we to say if it's right or wrong.

I'd say it's a 100% successful project if she was aiming for the thrift shop look. Anyway, it's her choice so we do not need to discuss her interior design choices for her own apartment.

I dont know why this is getting some hate, its her apartment and her property she chooses what to do with it, and personally i rather like it a lot

Most of those things are kinda cool. Like the couch - it looks boho style maybe? Colorful and fun, so most of this is just not liking the style. I agree the pen is weird but if she likes it, who cares? Care about celebrities not paying taxes, not abt their choices is style

why not talk about the painting that says "all welcome here, you are safe"? we should focus on the positive things!

yes! I would love to have that in my apartment and I'd love to see it in everyone else's space as well.
