In a new Exclusive interview for real simpleDrew Barrymore is even more reliable as I already knew that she was.
She jokes about her closet-less house, owns the cracks in her bookshelves (something that will otherwise run to a fond reader like me), and she reminds us that the design should not be right to feel beautiful.
As is someone who constantly bombs work and on social media by both houses that fully styled and professional, I often exhaust myself – in many interiors that feel fully curate for Pinterest, but not for regular people with small bandwidth and budget.
Taking on the design of Barrymore and creating a real place hit a cord with me, especially since he used his design chop to contribute to the real simple home of 2025.

Cracks in Bookshelves, clutter in the cupboard – hugging flaws
There is some strange rest about the fact that Drew Barrymore – a woman who is known to sell her household items in Walmart – is openly shared that her house is away from innocent, but it is part of her attraction. She is not performing for social media or trying to offer curate space to a customer completely; He is only in his own place.
“My bookshelves have cracks because they are separating from the wall,” she told Real Simple. “My children’s closet is a sh*T show. It is not even technically a closet.”
I think this is something that many people can belong to – especially tenants, who sometimes have to renounce the closet for a more open space.
According to Barrymore, his friends also tease him about buying homes “without any cell” – but instead of treating it, as it is completely a design defect, Barrymore looks more as a bizarre description to add more attractions to its place.
It is a refreshing opposite from beauty that “everything needs a place” is dominating so many interiors today. It is especially realistic for a home with children – sometimes things can not be as beautifully pleasing as we want, and that’s fine.

Barrymore’s contribution to this year’s real simple home was a “feel-gud” room-he takes him to a wellness space-and it was not just about clean lines and empty walls that we are used to look at the places that are “peaceful”.
One means one for a welfare place Spa-like feelA trendier, minimum approach is easy to embrace. Instead, a “envelope, cool and soothing” place for Barrymore is described as a place. Comfortable element Like a striped couch, hot colors, and individual touching.
Barrymore told Real Simple, “I had to decide what welfare meant for me.” “This means remembering to keep yourself in the mixture, let go alone first.”
From pictures alone, it is a place that actually invites you to sit, closes your mind, and Stay calm– If this means that your shoes are scattered scattered at the door.
The joy of making it as soon as you go
When asked to define her design style, Barrymore is not ashamed to accept that he’s attempt has been given an attempt, and it was not for her.
“I tried minimalism for a minute,” she said. “But when I tried to get things out, I could not see my life around me.”
Instead, she gets away from using her run-of-the-mill bazwords to describe her style, choosing for her own word that she feels right.
“People will call me Bohemian“He said.” I will go with ‘downtown rustic’. I like the spirit of the city and the country. ,
Even her home appliance line was born by making it because she went along, focusing on what she did not find on the market and was working from there.
“If I imagine something and I can’t find it, I want to make it,” she said. “It really lights my fire. And then once the fire begins, it is difficult to extinguish.”
For him Beautiful Home tool collection in Walmart, Barimore wanted to create high-level technology “but added it with more color and happiness”-is something that is often not a priority in the design process.
People who want a beautiful place, avoiding real-life disturbances and limited square footage, Barrymore’s approach does not just resonate-it assures.
