Step inside Hilary Duff [1]'s LA home, and you'll find a space built with family in mind. The Younger actress recently brought Architectural Digest along [2] for a tour of the Georgian-style structure she's been living in for nearly a decade — since she was pregnant with her first child, Luca [3]. After remodelling two times, Hilary has settled on a colourful, chic, modern vibe for her interior design, and it's still incredibly family-friendly.
"It always looks this fancy in here. These pillows always look like this, and I always have fresh flowers and no kids stuff around," she said sarcastically during the tour. "This is what it always looks like." Despite her jokes, a stray Sharpie doodle on the coffee table or a baby bite mark on the fruit in the kitchen are the perfect imperfections that make Hilary's home so loveable. Her daughter's room radiates joy with its various shades of pink, and her son's space is the ideal getaway for an 8-year-old, complete with a massive slide. Family pictures fill the formal living room and Hilary's private sitting area/bathroom, where she also delivered her now 2-year-old daughter Banks during a home birth.
"We live in this house and we're hard on this house — I think that's what makes it feel like such a home," she said. We love that sentiment! It's refreshing to see someone be so candid and honest about creating a family space. Keep reading for a close-up look at the special details of Hilary's home, from her vintage credenza to her new passion project: the chicken coop.
Hilary's mom likes to joke that she "destroyed" the wooden surface by putting her coffee or water cups on top — but furniture is meant to be used, right?
