Kim Kardashian’s bathroom is so confusing she had to explain it to us

The internet was baffled by Kim Kardashian West’s bathroom after seeing her home in a 73 Questions interview. Finally, Kardashian West is giving people some answers.

Kim Kardashian West used her Instagram account for something good this week, to answer the cries of internet users who absolutely had no clue what was going on in the Kardashian West house bathroom.

The internet became aware of the Kardashian West house when she led viewers on a tour of her home through Vogue’s 73 Questions interview with her. As a lover of interior design myself, I had to agree with Jezel’s opinion of her home, calling it an “all-white art gallery prison.”

But the confusion wasn’t just about the surprising lack of color in their home, or the empty feeling you get if you stare down their hallways. It was about a unique piece in their bathroom that appeared, to most of us, to be a sink. That, or a slab of concrete with two faucets attached.

Many wondered how the sink operates and where the water goes. Do the holes indicate a grip where you can take off or push back the sinks’ top? Does the marble absorb all the water? It is just a flat sink that will inevitably overflow when the water runs too long?

People. needed. answers.

Finally, in her Instagram story yesterday, Kardashian West explained just how the so-called “sink” works. E! News captured the video in the tweet below.

According to Kardashian West, the sink’s design was partially credited to her husband, Kanye West (no comment there). And the surface of the sink dips enough for water to enter the drain without overflowing on the floor and throwing off the delicate balance of their dystopian-future bathroom.

While we’re at it, can we talk about the bathtub, too? Kardashian West says the tub is big enough to basically fit the whole family, but there’s no way that concrete sculpture is child-proof. (I’m experiencing some acute PTSD from my childhood just looking at those sharp edges.)

If anything, send a warning to the children not to overflow the sink — lest the bathroom floor becomes a Slip N Slide, and you propel yourself into the side of the tub the way Wile E. Coyote slams himself into a fake tunnel. I’d bring kneepads and a helmet to that bathroom just in case.

Will somebody call the Queer Eye‘s Fab Five to give this house some love? It could seriously use Bobby Berk’s touch.

What do you think of Kim Kardashian West’s home? Totally sleek, or in need of some TLC? Let us know in the comments.
