Drew Barrymore helped design this Manhattan penthouse-and you can stop by to see it in person

"If you've ever wanted to peek inside a celebrity-designed New York apartment, here's your chance. The eighth annual Real Simple Home has opened in Lower Manhattan and for the first time it spans not one but two units: a sprawling four-bedroom penthouse with a 1,500-square-foot terrace and a two-bedroom "DIY Annex." Together, they showcase 14 distinct spaces created by a team of top designers, influencers and-headlining this year-Drew Barrymore."

"The actress, entrepreneur and lifestyle maven crafted what Real Simple calls a "feel-good room," a sanctuary designed to coax frazzled New Yorkers into slowing down. "When I was thinking about this assignment, I had to decide what wellness means to me. It means remembering to even put yourself in the mix, let alone first," Barrymore said in the October issue of Real Simple. "This room wants you to be mindful and present, which is almost as hard as putting yourself first!""

"Soft textures, calming tones and a flood of natural light make it the sort of space you might never want to leave-though the rest of the penthouse gives plenty of reason to wander. The living areas lean into relaxed entertaining, while even the laundry room manages to sneak in clever storage hacks. Step onto the terrace and you'll find colorful accents against crisp neutrals, all framed by jaw-dropping city views."

The eighth annual Real Simple Home opened in Lower Manhattan and spans two units: a four-bedroom penthouse with a 1,500-square-foot terrace and a two-bedroom DIY Annex. Fourteen distinct spaces were created by top designers, influencers, and Drew Barrymore. The feel-good room functions as a sanctuary to coax frazzled New Yorkers into slowing down and to encourage mindfulness and prioritizing personal wellness. Soft textures, calming tones, and abundant natural light establish a restful atmosphere, while living areas support relaxed entertaining and the laundry room includes clever storage hacks. The DIY Annex offers resourceful, budget-friendly decorating and vintage touches. Open-house tours run across two weekends with $25 tickets, with part of proceeds supporting Win, a local nonprofit.
