For the past few years, the most fashionable rooms have looked remarkably alike: pale walls, soft linen, a neutral rug and not much else. Quiet luxury moved from closets into living rooms, and the floor became the one surface nobody was supposed to notice. One very famous creative space suggests that era is ending, starting from the ground up.
In short
- Kendall Jenner’s art studio in her Beverly Hills home has a matte tiled floor in cream, black and red.
- The rest of the room is kept deliberately minimal, so the floor becomes the focal point.
- Trend experts call the floor the “6th wall” and expect bolder, more textured floors in 2027.
A floor that does all the talking
The studio is part of Kendall Jenner‘s Beverly Hills home, with an art studio designed by the interior firm Clements Design. The room was shown in an Instagram video shared by Amy Chin. Its matte tiles in cream, black and red, set with hexagonal grout lines, give the floor a graphic, almost handmade look.
Everything else stays quiet. A white chaise lounge and tan curtains are the main pieces in the room, which leaves the floor to carry the design. It is the same principle that made Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham’s minimalist home so striking, applied in reverse: one bold surface, nothing competing with it.
What is the “6th wall”?
Designers have long called the ceiling the “5th wall,” and many 2026 trends focused on it. The next frontier, trend watchers say, is the floor, now nicknamed the “6th wall.” “Color drenching is nothing new, but 2027 looks set to take the idea one step further with texture drenching,” says Alex Heslop, trend expert at Flooring Superstore.
Lizzie Mosley, creative director at Hug Rug, sees the same shift away from beige: “Pattern-maxxing has taken over from the minimalism and quiet luxury of recent years.”
Why does a tiled floor feel so new?
Because it reverses a decade of habits. Tiles were long confined to kitchens and bathrooms, and patterned floors were treated as a risk. A matte finish changes that: it reads warmer and more artisanal than glossy tile, which is why it fits a creative room like a studio. It is the same kind of design lesson we found inside George Clooney’s Lake Como villa.
How to try the look at home
- Start small. An entryway, a powder room or a home office is easier to commit to than a living room.
- Choose matte. A matte finish looks softer and more lived-in than high gloss.
- Limit the palette. Three colors, as in Kendall’s studio, keep a pattern bold without looking busy.
- Calm everything else. Neutral walls and simple furniture let the floor stand out.
- Not ready to retile? A graphic rug in the same colors gives a similar effect without the commitment.
The limit
The details of the studio come from images shared on social media, and neither Kendall Jenner nor Clements Design has commented on the materials or the brand of tile used. The experts quoted work for flooring and rug companies, and trend forecasts for 2027 remain predictions, not certainties.

The bottom line
Kendall Jenner’s studio proves a room does not need more furniture to feel new. It needs one bold decision, and in 2027 that decision may well be the floor beneath your feet.
