Gone are the days of smooth white surfaces and clutter-free countertops. In 2026, interiors are moving towards spaces that are full of personality, character, and warmth. Never one to adhere to convention, David Bowie's Kent home embraced this look in the '70s, long before it was a trend.
A 1971 photoshoot at the musician's British home shows a living room alive with personal effects and furniture. It features a wooden bookshelf full of books and records, a textured rug, a Tiffany lamp, and a leather chair. The coffee table is covered with a striped tablecloth and dishes from eating. It's a deeply human approach to design that prioritizes functionality and warmth over curated perfection.
