Paul McCartney's anti-trend living room is a cozy celebration of lived-in retro design – experts love its inviting, 1960s feel

Paul McCartney's home embraces a lived-in look. Ultra-modern, minimalist design has wavered in style for years, and the iconic musician offers an alternative to the fading look. The result is an incredibly human style that reflects the personality of the person who lives there.

Rather than blindly following trends, the Beatle's living room embodies the timeless style of '60s design. McCartney's space is filled with warm, natural wood, from the built-ins to his coffee table and piano. Cozy textiles like the white and blue curtains and the plaid bench bring texture and off-beat character. Nearly every free surface in the room is covered in artistic artifacts: books, records, and sheet music. The overall effect is a space that practically invites you in.
