Few things bring Homes & Gardens' Celebrity Style team as much joy as glimpses inside bedrooms of some of our favorite stars. The only thing better is that, during these peeks, we spot a furnishing that's easily replicable in our homes – and Drew Barrymore just allowed us to do exactly that.

The piece in question comes in the form of the Beautiful by Drew Sofa in the Striped Linen colorway, part of her Beautiful by Drew Barrymore collection sold at Walmart. We've previously covered this piece for its beautiful, East-Hampton-style aesthetic; however, seeing how Drew styles this piece in her own home warrants coverage of its own.

By trading a more traditional bench for a tailored, compact sofa, the space at the foot of the bed transitions from a place to hold your laundry to a true extension of your sleep sanctuary. While a standard bench offers little more than a brief, hard surface to lace up shoes, this sofa introduces plush, living-room-level comfort directly into her bedroom.

It's a masterclass in styling bedroom seating, existing as a dedicated zone for morning coffee or reading nook – all without disrupting the crisp linens of the bed itself.

While 'sofa trends' come with fleeting connotations, there's something about a striped sofa that, design experts say, has a unique longevity – despite being so fashionable.

'Patterned sofas are trending as the demand for more characterful and colorful interiors continues to rise. However, buying a sofa is a big investment, so it’s important to consider this purchase carefully and not to blindly follow trends. After all, a sofa isn’t something that is swapped out at the start of a new season or in line with changing trends,' comments Magdalena Gierasinska, a design expert at Barker and Stonehouse.

To give your patterned sofa the best chance of standing the test of time, Magdalena recommends choosing a timeless stripe, just like Drew's, that has proven itself over the years.

'A floral or a stripe is a perfect choice, and as these designs have been popular for decades, they really are timeless,' she says.

'Style the sofa alongside neutral walls and pale wooden furniture, or if you wish to go all out, combine it with patterned accessories, from lampshades to rugs – just ensure that there is a common colorway that unites the scheme for a cohesive look.'

Alongside her patterned sofa, Drew has designed a series of viral accent chairs, pillows and throws for her Beautiful collection. I've listed some of my favorites below.
