It's been over 20 years since 2005, which means that suddenly, everything from this period that was 'cringe' is cool again based on the lifecycle of trends. Thus, we're looking back at interiors from the oughties to seek out what might be next in design. Various animal prints are one of the looks on our radar, and archival shots of Joe Perry's living room offer hints into how we'll be styling the look going forward.

The Aerosmith guitarist was photographed in his Duxbury, Massachusetts home in 2005, revealing a clever cheetah print living room sofa idea. Rather than using the bold piece as a central anchor, he covers the space in patterns. Patchwork cushions bring fascinating texture and depth to the couch, while a geometrically block-printed coffee table makes it even brighter. The mixture of small and big pattern is stunning.
