Hilary Duff Gets Real About "House Rules," Messy Kids, and Why She's Not Apologizing for Being Particular

We all know Hilary Duff from our screens, but lately, she's also been busy as a mom, author, and diving into the world of home fragrance with her brand, Below 60°. So, how does someone with such a full plate keep her own home feeling like a sanctuary?

BHG recently chatted with Hilary to get the lowdown on her personal "House Rules" and her philosophy for creating a space that works for her and her family. Get ready for some seriously relatable moments! Hilary talks honestly about the daily struggles of keeping things tidy with kids around (shoes, backpacks, you name it!) and what rules she tries to enforce.

But it's not just about cleaning up. Hilary shares how she actively creates the right atmosphere in her home, especially after the kids are off to school. She talks about the little things that make a big difference, like lighting and, yes, scent – explaining why curating her space is essential for her own well-being and feeling like herself.

She also gives a peek into her laid-back entertaining style, proving that hosting doesn't always have to be formal. Plus, she explains why, as she gets older, she's embracing being a bit more "particular" about her surroundings, and why that's a positive thing!

If you've ever wondered how Hilary balances it all or want some down-to-earth inspiration for making your own home feel more personal and peaceful (even with a little chaos!), you'll want to read the full interview on BHG.com!
