Set in a sunny three-bedroom apartment on New York's Upper East Side, Barrymore's home is a far cry from the uptight, pristine environments typically associated with the neighborhood. Her motto is "go with the flow," and it's evident in the way her cats, dogs, and even a bearded dragon freely roam the cozy space.

Her daughters, Olive, aged 10, and Frankie, 9, are allowed to express their creativity freely, often spreading their art supplies across the dining room table. But in this relaxed atmosphere, Barrymore has established some rules. She's a self-professed interior design enthusiast and insists on lighting that gives off a warm, diffused glow rather than harsh overhead lighting.

She avoids sharp edges, embracing softness and safety for her children's sake. She covers her walls with plaster, wallpaper, and her extensive art collection to add personality to her space. Barrymore cherishes the sunlight, avoiding blackout curtains and instead opting for sheer fabrics that allow natural light to fill her home.

In her apartment, every room is considered to have six "walls," with the floor and ceiling being just as important for decorating as the traditional four walls. She brings character to her space by embracing a mix of affordable upholstered furniture that won't be ruined by kids and pets and adorns them with colorful throw pillows.

However, when it comes to parenting, Barrymore doesn't take a laid-back approach. She acknowledges that being a mom is a challenging yet rewarding job. In a candid moment on the "Chicks in the Office" podcast, she admitted feeling like a failure at times, especially during the early stages of motherhood.

She humorously reminisced about a time when parents left their kids unattended for hours, contrasting it with today's era of helicopter parenting and constant supervision. Despite the initial struggles, Barrymore's journey through motherhood has evolved into something beautiful.

As her daughters, Olive and Frankie, grow, she's found the best time of her life in motherhood. Learning boundaries and developing patience, kindness, and rationality are ongoing goals for her as she continues to embrace her role as a parent. Reflecting on her parenting style, Barrymore mentioned how her own life experiences led to her parenting her children differently.
