NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Meredith
Corporation's (NYSE: MDP) REAL SIMPLE today debuts the 2021
REAL SIMPLE HOME, a remodeled Victorian in the suburban town of
Westfield, New Jersey, just under
25 miles from NYC. For the first
time since REAL SIMPLE's inaugural home was introduced four years
ago, REAL SIMPLE editors and collaborators carried out a
top-to-bottom renovation, creating a modern, functional space full
of inspiring ideas. The 2021 REAL SIMPLE HOME is unveiled in the
October issue on newsstands now and online at
RealSimple.com/rshome21.
"We kicked it up a notch this year with our down-to-the-studs
renovation, delivering more ideas and inspiration than ever before.
After making over every square inch of this space from the attic
'Zoom room' to the wrap-around porch, we are very excited to debut
this year's REAL SIMPLE HOME, filled with tips to make your own
home inviting, calming, and ultra-functional," said REAL SIMPLE
Editor in Chief Liz Vaccariello.
The 1910 Victorian-style home was completely renovated to fit
the modern homeowner's needs, with an expanded mudroom, updated
kitchen and bathrooms, and more than 3,500 square feet of living
space, including a multipurpose room that accommodates home
workouts, entertaining, and family fun. Unique to this year's REAL
SIMPLE HOME are expansive outdoor spaces that include a patio,
porch, and two-car garage. REAL SIMPLE editors joined forces with a
team of designers to put a spotlight on fresh colors, comfy
furniture, and multitasking setups for the way we live right
now.
"It's been a true pleasure to be a part of this year's REAL
SIMPLE HOME alongside so much talent, from the fabulous designers,
organizers, and editors to the amazing brands we worked with to
make this dream home come together. The house had amazing bones to
start with, and each designer used cozy textiles and inviting tones
to thoughtfully curate spaces that are bold and energetic but also
grounded in warmth. There are so many clever ideas, thoughtful
touches, and unique concepts that you'll want to make your own. I'm
really excited for everyone to virtually step inside this
one-of-a-kind home," said Natalie
Papier, owner of interior design company Home Ec. and
designer of the living room in the 2021 REAL SIMPLE HOME.
REAL SIMPLE collaborated with a talented roster of interior
designers, organizers, and tastemakers to create this year's home:
Emily Henderson, founder of
Emily Henderson Design; Keyanna
Bowen, blogger of East & Lane;
Delia Kenza, founder of Delia
Kenza Interiors; Natalie
Papier, owner of Home Ec.; Eduardo Rodriguez, founder of DSGNER;
Raili Clasen, founder of
Raili CA Design; Ryia Jose,

The 2021 REAL SIMPLE Home was renovated by Gialluisi Custom
Homes.
"We've taken our signature REAL SIMPLE HOME to the next level
with a suburban single-family property where we can inspire
consumers nationwide with smart ideas and practical solutions to
make the most of their homes," said Daren
