Many people worry that using too many patterns in the home will create a space that is too singular and off-putting. However, when a character defines a space, it will never go out of style. Such is the case with Kate Bush's living room. Photographed in 1978, the singer's home is a melange of patterns, eras, and items for an aesthetic that feels completely original.
Kate's family's home in East Wickham, London, features a jacquard sofa, Persian rug, and floral cushions layered on top of one another. The maximalist living room doesn't confine itself just to '70s aesthetics; from Tudor-style walls to a chinoiserie vase on the mantelpiece, Kate's design spans centuries.
