It is undeniable that Blake Lively's natural sense of style extends to her home decor prowess. The Gossip Girl actress, 36, has the bathroom of dreams in her $5 million New York pad with her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, 47, that would fit in nicely at a luxe hotel.
The A Simple Favour star's bathroom is part of her open-plan space which features rustic wood features. You couldn't exactly say Blake's bathroom was private but it is certainly luxurious as the chic gray and white marble bathtub could be seen from the bedroom.

Right near the bath is a patterned deep red and gold rug that looks like it could date back centuries.

Love you MK (and yes I low-key moonlight as an interior designer but please don’t tell bc I don’t want the world to know that I have a hidden talent which I require external validation on)."
Award-winning interior designer Naomi Isted tells us what makes Blake's space feel like it would work in a hotel. "It says a lot about her own personal taste being very subtle and understated luxury. With the reclaimed wood and metal materials it gives off a real feel of luxury Aspen lodge meets New York industrial warehouse!".

This is a tone that works well with the soft grays, browns and moss green that we see. But also the exposed brick and reclaimed woods! Looking at the smaller details there is subtle opulence in the antique-style paintings and gold wall lights!."

Naomi explains: "New York warehouse industrial interior design is usually characterized by its raw, gritty, and utilitarian aesthetic that pays homage to the city's industrial roots which we see in her apartment but with added details of subtle opulence!

Overall, this fits with the classic New York warehouse industrial interior design feel which embraces a blend of history, functionality, and urban charm," the design expert concludes.

Founder of Touched Interiors and star of the BBC's Virtually Home Kunal Trehan tells us how to recreate Blake's chic aesthetic. "Opt for a mix of modern and vintage pieces and incorporate cozy textures," he says. "Finalise organic and natural fibers with earthy tones for a chic yet laid-back vibe. Blake is perfectly on trend with her organic luxury vibe, as it is all the rage in the world of interior design."
