Drew Barrymore's playful 'anti-trend' kitchen is a masterclass in rebelling against fleeting trends

Drew Barrymore.

After captivating audiences for decades in iconic films like Charlie's Angels and Scream, Drew Barrymore has gone on to become a modern lifestyle guru through her magazine and hit talk show.

This new chapter has given the world a glimpse into her passion for stylish interiors, and her kitchen ideas, in particular, have become a source of inspiration for designers everywhere.

When interior photographer Winnie Au posted a photo of the space, we were immediately drawn to its refreshingly unique design. From aged finishes to eclectic storage and a bold use of color and pattern, Drew's kitchen space is truly one of a kind.

Drew's open-plan kitchen is a reflection of her unique personality, blending modern and antique styles with a playful mix of color.

Rather than traditional kitchen cabinets, the space features a pot rail for her cookware and open shelving for her bowls and cups, creating a gorgeous visual display. 'The open storage allows her to proudly display her beautiful pans and her hand-painted dishes,' says Homes & Gardens' digital editor Jennifer Ebert. 'This approach is ideal for anyone with a unique collection they want to showcase.'

The vibrant green kitchen tiles and red dining table are complemented by whimsical pink floral curtains and a charming pink and white curtain under the sink, creating a space that feels personal, eclectic, and ever-so inviting.

Winnie Au notes, 'she left this sliver of wallpaper up on the wall, and I love that detail. So fun and harmonious with the way the rest of the space is.'

One of the most striking features of Drew's kitchen is the textured, aged patina of the walls. By intentionally forgoing perfectly polished, modern painted kitchen ideas, the space feels instantly authentic and lived-in.

This choice adds a rich, tactile character that works in elegant harmony with the curated collection of unique artworks and ornaments, giving the kitchen an almost gallery-like feel. We love this eclectic approach, which proves that art and personal touches should be at the heart of the kitchen, not just in the living room.

We love how Drew has defied usual kitchen trends and embraced her individuality by personalizing her space to truly reflect her sense of style. Establishing a unique mix of styles, colors, patterns, and textures, the result is relaxed, inviting, and irresistibly homey – it's everything you should want for the heart of the home.
