From the interiors of Gilmore Girls to Bridget Jones's Diary to the sets on Friends, there is something tantalizingly cozy about the aesthetics of the early 2000s. This era represents a simpler time of intentional clutter, layered textiles, and pattern-drenching. As nostalgia brings these styles back to the forefront for 2026, we're turning to the interiors of the 2000s for inspiration.
Take Olivia Newton-John's living room in 2002. In a tour of the actor's French Style home near Byron Bay, Australia, she revealed a seemingly disparate collection of object: a glass and ceramic side table, a wicker lamp, and a gorgeous floral sofa. A red ashtray (similar to this gorgeous fluted glass dish from Etsy) brings a touch of color to the side of the room.
