Inside Post Malone's Luxury Utah Home
Post Malone has been turning heads with his exclusive sound and his eclectic genre of music. His mix of sounds can loosely be described as hip hop meets country. In a way, the crossover can be linked to his background and diverse influences. Post was born in Syracuse, New York and then moved to Dallas, Texas when his dad went to work for the Dallas Cowboys.Then, as a young adult, he moved to LA where he was discovered and garnered a record deal. This was his home until a video, in which Post explained his doomsday theory and the importance of moving to the mountains, went viral on TikTok. So, given this priority, where does Post Malone live now?
Well, he opted for a luxury property in Utah, with all the makings of a post-apocalyptic paradise. The sprawling estate features a truly unique design that integrates rustic mountain vibes with glam touches. And, the juxtaposition of the styles is just as captivating as Malone's own blend of musical styles.
A nature filled oasis
Post Malone's Utah house is located in Salt Lake City county, specifically the Cottonwood Heights area. It's a trendy locale with picturesque sunsets, valleys, and mountains. The community is very family-oriented, there are great schools for children, and recreational facilities. The area is a quiet retreat with easy access to the Salt Lake City metro area. In a YouTube video about the area, Malone says, "I love living here in Cottonwood Heights. It's the most amazing place ever."
The environment in the community of snow capped mountains is generally safe and serene — such that someone like Post Malone, who loves his space, can revel in his surroundings in a bid to enjoy nature and feel at peace. Post is not afraid to express his love for the solitude which Utah offers. On a Zane Lowe podcast on Apple Music he said, "I kind of just wanted to get away to where I can have my own oasis."
There is a lot of indoor greenery
It's clear that Malone loves the region and the bounty of nature it offers. So, it's no surprise that the interior of the home is filled with plantlife. These add a pop of color to a neutral palette and scientifically, these plants offer so much more. Decorating your home with plants in different areas can offer a lot of psychological benefits. Certain plants and flowers can liven up your mood with their bold colors — no wonder the artist is always so cheery! Plus, easy-to-care-for houseplants like the spider plant, add moisture to the air, while other plants can soak up impurities.
If you want to scatter plants throughout your home, consider the spaces you wish to fill. Take a cue from Malone's home and add trees where space allows. If you want low-maintenance options, OXLLXO Store's Artificial Ficus Silk Tree can add bright faux foliage. If you have a tabletop that could be a good home for greenery, then the plants you choose should be a height that doesn't cause obstruction when people are chatting. If you have little to no surface space for plants, opt for a footprint-free option like a hanging macramé planter.
A charming fire pit can be found outside
Cottonwood Heights has a climate that is relatively cold in the fall and winter months.So during cool weather, a warm and toasty fire feature can uplift the mood immensely. This takes us to Malone's outdoor living space featuring a state of the art fire pit with surrounding seats for friends and family to stay cozy when outdoors. This is the perfect place to enjoy the brisk Utah evenings and picturesque mountain view.
To get a similar look in your own backyard, use a low-maintenance propane option like COSIEST's Fire Pit Coffee Table. Then, depending on the space you have to work with, fill the area with seating for gathering around the fire. You can opt for swivel armchairs like Malone's. Or, for a more flexible option in a small outdoor space, use stackable seating like VICLLAX Stacking Outdoor Chair Set, that can be tucked away when not in use.
His den is a versatile space with great views
Malone's house features a den room that boasts royal red furniture and wall-to-wall carpeting. The space also has a cozy fireplace and expansive views, ideal for relaxation. The space would make an ideal spot to read a book, watch a movie, or enjoy a little gaming — one of Malone's favorite pastimes. The artist tells Variety, "Being in Utah and being away from the grind and from everybody else and it's just me with my video games and a cold one — that feels good to me."
There's no set definition or functions for a den room — a homeowner can use their den for whatever activity suits them. It is so versatile that in your abode, it could be turned into a studio or made into a home office. Or, transform the space into a multifunctional room. Add plenty of storage and shelves and fill the room with comfy furniture like Malone's. Then, it's perfect for a variety of activities like reading, hosting guests, and gathering for a family game night.
There is an intense amount of lighting in every room
Post Malone is no stranger to the spotlight. And, this carries over into the lighting that's featured in his home. The home features expansive windows that let plenty of natural light in. However, there are myriads of lights and fixtures throughout the property as well. There's lots of strategically-placed recessed lighting while others hang as dome lamps such as the bathroom light fixtures and the pendant lamps hung above seating spaces. This mix of lighting works to highlight the features in the home, from the detailed stone to the gleaming chrome.
To make sure your own spaces are well-lit, add layers of light, room-by-room. This means using recessed lighting for overall brightness, pendants for task lighting, and lamps to create ambiance. With plenty of options available, you can adjust the lighting in each room according to the time of the day and the activity you're partaking in.
The wall art collection is well-thought out
Throughout the mountain home, carefully-chosen art adds to the aesthetic. Animal wall paintings adorn the walls in the living room, tying into the natural views outside. There is also a monochromatic painting in the master bedroom which un-coincidentally boasts a similar neutral color scheme. Inside the gym, classic art in various frames have been added to the decor.
While you can add art to various space, how you arrange it needs to be done with a little finesse. A few common styles include the triptych wall art style like Malone's living room (where three artworks of the same or similar version are equally spaced out and placed in a line next to each other on the wall). If the wall is too small opt for a diptych technique which works by placing two similar-sized pieces next to each other to express some level of symmetry and cohesion.
Floor to ceiling windows showcase mountain views
You simply cannot go wrong with floor-to-ceiling windows because they enable natural light to filter into your abode at the highest level possible. Granted, this may also mean that you may have to endure a lack of privacy thanks to the expanse of the glass and how much of a view people could have of your home. Another downside could be the cost of executing this window style — it may be more expensive to install floor-to-ceiling glass than the glass for normal windows due to the extra care you need to consider when handling it. Lastly, there's more surface area to make gleam when cleaning windows of this size.
But Post Malone lives on an oasis, so he has little contact with neighbors, so his floor-to-ceiling widows are ideal to take in the scenery. Therefore, the fear of reduced privacy should not even be a topic to consider. In addition to this, at a net worth of $50 million, chances are the high that the expenses of utilizing this window style may not be too detrimental for his bank account.
Dual sinks were implemented
There are some couples who live together as a unit yet believe in having certain things which they do not share, such as separate bathrooms, offices or hobby rooms. We know that Malone also has a fiancée and longtime companion, even though he keeps her identify under wraps. Even as a couple, they may sometimes need their own space and storage, sprawling independent sink areas, for example.
You may still be able to add dual sinks, even if you don't have the expansive bathroom Malone does. You can swap the single sink on your current vanity to a double version if the base is a standard size of 54 or 60 inches. You may even be able to find an option as narrow as 48 inches. Or, look for a combination piece designed for a compact space like Modway's Double Sink Vanity Cabinet.
The bathroom and shower combo is a study in luxury
While Post Malone's Utah house features seven bathrooms, the primary bathroom stands out due to the mix of modern fixtures and finishes inspired by Mother Nature. The room is anchored by a sunken bathtub surrounded by an exotic stone ledge. And, there are other luxurious details like the glass-enclosed double shower and the transparent wall overlooking the rocky landscape.
If you fancy taking sumptuous soaks amidst natural elements, implement a few master bathroom ideas to make your space feel like a luxury oasis. You can consult with a contractor to see if the flooring is strong enough to support the weight of a sunken bathtub. If it's not, or you don't want to overhaul your space at that level, you can swap your current tub for a freestanding marble-look one like this option from The Home Depot.
For the flooring or shower, you can splurge for exotic marble and granite. Or, porcelain options , like Bedrosians Store's Gemma Honed Beige Onyx Tile, are a budget-friendly alternative. If you have the space, you can look into the cost to install a double shower to add luxurious function. For those lucky enough to have a stunning view and ample privacy, consider ways to make it more visible. Adding a glass wall is the most immersive option, but can cost $5,000 on average. However, depending on your home's exterior material and if you don't need electrical rewired, you may be able to add a simple window for much less.
There's a gourmet chef's kitchen
Malone's island kitchen layout was a great choice for this spacious home because the feature offers visual interest and functionality. The chef has extra space to cook and prep meals, and it could also work as a dining table for informal meals. Or, when Post starts working on homework with his little one, this could be the best area for the family to hunker down and get to solving word problems.
If you'd like to add an island to your own kitchen, consider if you have space for the feature. Permanent islands in unique shapes, like Malone's, can be built to the dimensions and shape of your space. If you have a compact space, but still want to boost the functionality, you can purchase a piece like Homestyles Mobile Kitchen Cart to achieve a wooden look like the artist's island.
He has a number of fitness amenities
As a child, Malone enjoyed playing basketball and watching sports on TV. His dad also worked for the Dallas Cowboys organization and it's well-known that Malone is a huge supporter of the team. So, naturally, a home gym would fit right in with his love for all things sports.
As a successful musician, Post surely gets super busy with work and touring, to the point that he may or may not have time to work out as much as he'd like. But, when he found out that he and his girlfriend were expecting a baby in 2022, he told E! News, "Time to take care of my body and my family and friends, and spread as much love as we can every day." So, when he gets the chance to squeeze in some moments for fitness, his well-equipped gym will come in handy as the perfect workout spot.
Stones and rocks were used for art and decor
In keeping with the outdoor nature vibe and the greenery which the luxury home's interiors boast, real rocks were implemented into the foyer and the living room. The cluster of rocks is a unique statement piece that adds to the gorgeous rustic aesthetic. There are stunning rock walls that add charm to the family living room area as well.
If you have a large awkward space in your home, such as underneath the staircase or a space between two rooms, you can take a leaf out of Malone's book and create a mosaic wall of your own. Obviously, rock walls and stone features are heavy, costly, and difficult to install. However, products like Concord's 3D Stone Wall Panels can be installed with basic DIY skills and construction glue.
There is a large, formal dining room
Now that Malone is a dad, friends and extended family likely wants to come visit them in Utah, especially during the holidays. With more guests, this means that the dining room, which has a spacious table and sits ten people comfortably, is an ideal space to foster bonding, allowing everyone to gather over meals. The space also boasts floor-to-ceiling windows allowing diners to take in the beauty of the mountainsides.
To create a functional, yet welcoming dining room, choose furniture that's the ideal size for your space while allowing gathering. Versatile pieces, like the LifoHous Extendable Dining Set has a sleek vibe, similar to Malone's. However it also has the benefit of being extendable, so you can adjust the length of the table as needed. Round out the vibe of the room with lush greenery and a statement-making piece of art.
A regal piano is the entryway focal point
Post Malone is a talented guitarist And, before his blended hip hop meets country persona, Post Malone actually got his feet wet in the world of entertainment playing for Ashley's Arrival (an unsigned band). He's also been spotted playing the piano in an impromptu performance for none other than Justin Bieber. So, as a skilled lover of music, it comes as no surprise that instruments are incorporated into his home decor, including the piano in his entryway.
If you would love to add a piano to your space, there are various versions from classic to acoustic, which boast different price ranges. Some are sold in high-end stores and some can be found at second-hand music shops. To keep your piano looking (and sounding great), be mindful of where you place it in your home. Keep it away from vents, windows, and exterior walls to keep it in tiptop shape.
A rectangular outdoor pool with the jacuzzi
It's true that Utah gets cold, especially during the winter. However, the temps reach the high 80s and the 90s during peak pool season. So, it makes sense that a pool was factored into Malone's home's design. The artist chose to move to this canyon home to be one with nature. And, what better way to enjoy mountain views than from a refreshing pool with a glass of his trademark rosé? Plus, there's an integrated hot tub to take advantage of when the temperatures drop.
Adding a pool to your own space is, of course, a major project that averages around $65,000. However, there are other ways to add water to your yard. If you want a spot to take a dip, Bestway's SaluSpa Paris Foam Spa is a DIY way to add a hot tub to your outdoor space. Or, if you'd like to relax by the water, create a small pond or add a fountain in an area of your yard where you enjoy the scenery.
Other mention-worthy features of Past Malone's Utah house
The house has a stocked home bar for enjoying cocktails and wine Fancy decanters and stemware take up the better part of the wall dedicated to the wet bar. The mirror-esque wall offers a brilliant backdrop for the glasses. There's also a sink with bronze fixtures and a few colorful pots and tiny cups are tucked in a corner, making the home bar look realistic and not staged for a magazine shoot. Then there's the wine cellar, featuring a dedicated rack to house Malone's vino bottles. Another area designed for relaxing, Post Malone's backyard is spacious and ideal for enjoying the views.
However, the artist is ready for anything, proven by the 'apocalypse-proof' bunker underneath the space. Explaining his reasoning on H3 Podcast Highlights, he says, "It's gonna be fun until the world ends. But whenever the world ends, it's gonna be functional." Interestingly, being prepared for a doomsday-like scenario is the prime reason Malone moved to the area. He recounts that he went through a lot of nuclear maps and considered numerable warhead scenarios before finalizing a spot that checked all his boxes for an end-of-the-world bunker.
