For some of us, the transition from summer to fall calls for a dozenth rewatch of Gilmore Girls. Practically synonymous with autumn, the beloved series, which turns 25 this month, is cozy as they come. At Homes & Gardens, we believe that the comfort largely stems from the show's distinct interiors, which embodied the early aughts, New England sensibilities, and retro decor all at once.
From Lorelai's shabby-chic home, which is adorned with vintage furnishings and quirky accessories, to Luke's Diner, a classic Americana-style haunt with cafe curtains and a no-phones-allowed sign looming, the spaces of the show combine sentimental objects with a familiar, lived-in feel (and, notably, an aversion towards sleek, contemporary designs).
