With the exhaustion of accelerating trend cycle installations, we turn to the space of the past for inspiration. Perhaps there isn't a decade bigger than the 90s, and the archive image of Jim Carrey's living room reflects the reason.
His comfortable and enthusiastic space includes our coveted 90s design trends once again. Jim's living room features a brick fireplace and intricate wooden tables with chrome vases. Sofa on pattern and plush beige carpet floor.
Understandably, the warmth of this classic country look is particularly attractive at the moment. Lena Gierasinska, design expert at Barker and Stonehouse, explains the interior design trend, noting: “Classic country style is popular as people work to create a home that feels life, comfort and tempting. The dose of nostalgia provides this in its characteristic comfort and warmth – think of classic materials and rich brown tones.

Bohemian style
ohmer 61.22''Velvet Sofa
It is difficult to find a sofa that makes a statement like this piece, and comes with a symmetrical blue, yellow and purple pop pattern (for rich bohemian aesthetics). If you dare, it will look great in a neutral living room.
Elevated
This lush white rug consists of yarns of sheds and is versatile, oh so soft. This is the ideal way to add texture to a nostalgic living room.
Not to miss a deal
Nashville 30' nightstand
Bobbin legs, compact cabinets and lower shelf space make the nightstand highly functional and super stylish. I like it's a cautious way to step in on the design trend while feeling totally timeless.
Fortunately, Carrey's comfortable living room ideas are easy to reproduce with careful attention to detail and contrast.
Lena suggests: “Unlock opposing marriages in a harmonious way – pairing vintage objects with modern objects or collide with vibrant colors with eye-catching pattern prints. Again, don’t be afraid to mix colors and textures with eye-catching patterns or finish touches, such as gorgeous feathers and metallic decor – perfect for styling with a soft look.
She continued: 'Wood paneling painted in warm neutral tones is another great way to make classic style fresh. Patterns are crucial to classic national styles, but it feels more modern to use on a smaller scale – think of floral cushions or armchairs instead of pattern dipping into the space. The key is to bring the texture and timeless detail levels to achieve a comfortable and modern rustic style.
With the nostalgia of the 90s, looking back at spaces that actually came from the 90s is a great way to know that there is something so appealing in the decade. These rooms are infinitely inspiring.
