Kris Jenner’s backyard isn’t just an outdoor space; it’s a masterclass in designing a home that marries high-end glamor with the kind of comfort you actually want to sink into at the end of the day.
Designed by Jeff Andrews, this pool idea and modern backyard showcases sweeping Mediterranean-inspired architecture paired with intimate, inviting details – perfectly capturing the essence of livable luxury: an opulence that’s truly meant to be enjoyed.
The centerpiece is an expansive pool patio, tiled in rich blue mosaics that shimmer under the California sun. At first glance, it could be the swimming pool of a boutique European hotel, but its design is also deeply practical – perfect for a refreshing morning swim or a family afternoon of lounging on pool floats. Surrounding the water, carefully placed outdoor lighting creates a gentle, romantic glow as evening falls, turning the entire backyard into a twinkling retreat.
Anchoring the scene is the cabana, a vision in sun-washed stucco and terracotta roof tiles. Its trio of arched openings, framed with black-and-white striped drapery, creates a striking focal point while also offering the flexibility to shade the interior or leave it open to the breeze.
Inside, the decor strikes that elusive balance between refined and relaxed: deep, cushioned seating arranged for conversation, a central dining table for al fresco meals, and textured accents that hint at travel and craftsmanship.
The space brims with thoughtful touches that elevate without intimidating. Classic wall-mounted lanterns bring Old World elegance, while lush palms and potted plants create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A dramatic pendant light in the cabana draws the eye, yet the palette remains harmonious and soothing. Every element works in harmony to make the space equally suited to hosting an elegant soirée or curling up with a book on a quiet afternoon.
It’s this combination – the grandeur of a Mediterranean-style estate in California paired with the usability of a well-loved entertaining garden – that makes the design so successful. The layout invites movement, conversation, and relaxation, while the styling ensures that every glance is Instagram-worthy.
In true Kris Jenner fashion, the backyard is both an entertainer’s dream and a private sanctuary. It proves that luxury doesn’t have to be untouchable – it can be lived in and enjoyed, all while looking utterly glamorous.
