Blake Lively’s Secret Side Hustle 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!

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.
