We\u2019ve all heard the phrase, \u201cCelebrities! They\u2019re just like us,\u201d often with a hint of sarcasm\u2014because, let\u2019s be honest, most of them really aren\u2019t. But every now and then, a few stars take on projects that feel surprisingly relatable. One of those? Decorating their own homes<\/a>. While many celebrities hire top-tier interior designers<\/a> to create ultra-luxurious spaces, these seven took on the challenge themselves\u2014and the results are both inspiring and approachable.<\/p>\n So, if you’re eager to get some inspiration from the stars, you’ve come to the right place. Ahead, explore these stylish, down-to-earth celeb homes<\/a> that prove some stars actually are just like us. It should hardly come as a shock that Drew Barrymore, who designs furniture (we’re all obsessed with her famous boucl\u00e9 chair<\/a>) and charming countertop appliances, decorated her home herself. The home in question is in New York City, where her namesake talk show is filmed. Here’s the thing: It looks like a house your friend may live in. It’s not over-the-top with precious upholstery and delicate accessories. It’s very normal\u2014especially for a celebrity home! The bright colors, sweet nooks, and touchably soft textures definitely mirror her own bubbly personality.<\/p>\n If you follow the actress on social media, you know that she is a regular everywhere from High Point Market in North Carolina to the Original Round Top Antiques Fair in Texas. She is definitely a design aficionado, which is why she took on her family’s home in Charlotte, North Carolina. While it’s definitely suitable for 21st-century life, it boasts a very authentic midcentury feel, with myriad vintage leather chairs, unfinished wood tables, and soothing shades. <\/p>\n Rockstar Lenny Kravitz has definitely earned the right to call himself an interior designer. After all, he stands at the helm of his namesake firm, Kravitz Design<\/a>, which launched in New York City in 2003 and has since teamed up with CB2<\/a> on an exclusive home collection. Though the company is still very much based in Manhattan, Kravitz’s main residence is in Paris\u2014specifically, a 1920s mansion he lovingly calls “H\u00f4tel de Roxie” as a tribute to his mother, Roxie. Sadly, it’s not a real hotel, so fans can only check it out in person if they’re expressly invited in by Kravitz himself. <\/p>\n He’s also famously private about showing off his work, but every now and then, he’ll post a photo on social media that subtly reveals a nook or cranny with his decorating expertise on full display. However, one of his projects entered the spotlight in season four of HBO Max’s Hacks<\/a>\u2014the ultra-modern Stanley House was actually designed by the singer. <\/p>\n Blake Lively<\/a> famously doesn’t use a stylist (not even for major red carpet events!), so it should come as no surprise that she hasn’t enlisted the help of a professional interior designer either. Though she and husband Ryan Reynolds are notoriously private about their homes<\/a>\u2014especially when their four children are nearby\u2014the starlet does occasionally let fans into her New York City pad (digitally, of course). The room we’ve seen most is perhaps the foyer, where a massive Sage Vaughn painting hangs on an exposed brick wall. Back in 2023, Lively flexed<\/a> that she “moonlight[s] as an interior designer,” adding, “but please don\u2019t tell [because] I definitely don\u2019t want the world to know that I have a hidden talent which I require external validation on.” Noted!<\/p>\n Longtime celebrity couple Goldie Hawn<\/a> and Kurt Russell\u2014who have been a pair for more than 40 years\u2014collaborated with friend and designer Chubby Specter on their New York City apartment, which features more than a few references to Hawn’s love of both Indian and Anglo-Indian styles. The duo’s Los Angeles home, though, where they spend most of their time, is entirely Hawn’s creation. If you look closely, you’ll notice the star’s Instagram account offers quite a few snippets of her design work. <\/p>\n Few A-listers have a real estate portfolio as impressive or extensive as that of Diane Keaton, who has basically been collecting homes since her Annie Hall days. Though she’s known to collaborate with designers on plenty of projects, her most famous\u2014an 8,000-square-foot L.A. farmhouse<\/a>\u2014is her own doing. In fact, she wrote a book about it in 2017, The House That Pinterest Built<\/a>, which details her design journey and sourcing inspiration entirely from Pinterest. Much like her outfits, the interiors are comfortable and, for the most part, black and white. <\/p>\n It girl Kate Bosworth admitted that she didn’t hire an interior designer for the midcentury L.A. home she shared with ex-husband Michael Polish, nor did she use one for her current abode, where she and husband Justin Long live. Though the two are hardly private online, there aren’t a ton of images of their love nest<\/a>. From what we have seen, though, it features a very soft and neutral palette, complete with organic materials like wood and linen. Bosworth took on all of the design work herself when the pair moved in together in 2022.<\/p>\n Follow House Beautiful on <\/strong>Instagram<\/a> and TikTok<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
