Blake Lively's secret side hustle is as an interior designer

The Gossip Girls star spends hours late into the night with fabrics and furnishings.

In a recent Instagram post the actress and mother of two quipped, “Of all the bad decisions I’ve made, this may be the most fun…”, admitting she doesn’t get paid for the service but thrives on the creativity - often up until all hours, knee deep in colour charts, fabric swatches and tile samples - appropriated from her own bathroom!

I design my friends homes. For free. Of all the bad decisions I've made, this may be the most fun... Thank you to my daughters for unknowingly loaning me your clothes for "fabric" inspo, thank you @dmitriyco for the stencils that are way too fun it's not normal, thank you bathroom for having a lose tile that I could steal for more "fabric" inspo, and thank you mom for the sleeping disorder that keeps me up all night. 🙄🦉 👩🏼‍💻🌜🤩

Drawing inspiration from her daughters’ clothing fabrics and using a set of handy stencils from New York fabric design company, Dmitriy & Co that she says are “way too fun it’s not normal,” Blake puts together moodboards and colour schemes for her friends’ homes, loving every minute of it.
