Gigi Hadid's NYC Apartment Renovation: From Rats to Radiant Yellow

Supermodel Gigi Hadid recently revealed in an Architectural Digest interview that she's renovating part of her New York City apartment due to a significant rat problem in her outdoor living area. This unexpected issue prompted a redesign to address the rodent infestation.

Hadid's experience highlights the ongoing struggle New York City faces with its rat population. The city has intensified efforts to control the rodent issue, including the appointment of a 'rat czar' and the approval of a bill to use birth control in rat traps.

While the renovation addresses the rat problem, Hadid also discussed her evolving interior design style. Initially favoring a safe and simple approach, she now embraces a more expressive 'eclectic, industrial farmhouse' aesthetic with a significant use of her favorite color, sunflower yellow. This vibrant hue is incorporated throughout her home, particularly in her kitchen, a space she considers one of her favorites.

Hadid's New York City home is a combination of a two-bedroom apartment and a townhouse, a property she purchased for $5.8 million in 2018. The townhouse features a large private terrace, which will soon be rat-free thanks to the ongoing renovations.
