Hilary Duff’s House Rules—Land Where You Like, and Create Your Own Atmosphere
08.03.2024 - 14:05 / bhg.com
Hilary Duff has earned the right to be a little particular, and she’s not apologizing for it. Duff may be a busy mom of three (soon to be four—she announced that she was expecting in December), but she still carves out space to curate an atmosphere that works for her, even if that curation happens once the kids are off to school.
Better Homes & Gardens spoke with the actress, singer, producer, and author—who added chief brand director to her impressive resume with Below 60°, an air fragrance brand that launched last November—about her house rules, how she sets up a space where she can unwind, and more.
Read on for more about Duff’s rules for the home she shares with husband Matthew Koma, a singer-songwriter, and their family.
I want to get better about that—how do I get better about that? [Laughs]
It is disgusting to think that we’re taking our shoes and walking around, and then we’re taking them off and we’re walking around, and we’re barefoot and then we’re putting our feet in our bed. I love to sit on the floor, too. When we have friends over, usually I give everyone our couch and I sit on the floor. It’s disgusting. I have three dogs. I have nine chickens. [Laughs]

Mine is more just trying to get my kids to put their stuff on the stairs instead of just dumping it where they come in. I feel like they just step out of their shoes mid-walk, and it’s in the walkway, and their bags just get dumped down. I want their lunchboxes put in the sink—and I don’t even make them rinse it out. I will do it, or someone will do it, but don’t leave it in your backpack.
It absolutely does. But I don’t think it’s just unwinding at the end of the day. I think it’s something that I like to—when I

Your gardening questions answered: How can I create a garden from a scrap heap?
We bought an old house and have been working extra hard on a self-build extension and house renovation for the last seven months. We have installed a big fixed window pane with the idea of looking out on to a lovely green back garden, but at the moment it is just a mound of earth, derived from the dig to get foundations done. What can I place here that will green quickly and also be bee and bird friendly and give us some nice colours and view for this summer? Would a wild flower meadow be the way to go until we figure out what to do with space or what can you recommend that is eco and purse friendly? RH, Co Dublin

The Dos and Don’ts of Direct Sowing
Sowing a seed directly into the ground, nurturing it, and reaping the rewards is one of the easiest gardening activities you can do—yet many gardeners don’t. There are many reasons to direct sow. Often, you’ll have earlier harvests because the seeds will germinate when it’s the perfect time to grow, and stronger seedlings because transplant shock isn’t an issue. Planting seeds in general (instead of buying transplants) gives you more varietal options, and you can also save a lot of money (1 packet of 30 to 150 seeds often costs less than a 6-pack of plants). And then there is the personal satisfaction factor. Ask any child who has planted a sunflower seed how they feel when that flower towers over their head, and you’ll understand what I mean.

Opinion: Farmers Are Dropping Out Because They Can’t Access Land. Here’s How the Next Farm Bill Could Stop the Bleeding.
As a teenager, I distinctly remember my father telling me to not follow in the family business. I now know he said this to shield me from the many hardships farmers continue to face. America’s farmers, especially beginning and Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) farmers face insurmountable challenges, yet 87 percent of young farmers are dedicated to regenerative, climate-smart farming practices. Today’s beginning farmers are passionate about growing nourishing foods, diversified crops and building soil; yet because of astronomical real estate costs, most farmers are unable to purchase land on which to operate.
