With more time spent at home means more time watching TV, so it’s no surprise that some of our favorite Netflix shows have influenced our interior design. Whether it’s design elements from reality shows such as “The Home Edit,” or a regal moments from period dramas such as “The Crown,” and “The Queen’s Gambit,” our viewing habits providing a bunch of inspiration.
Taking a look at the most-watched shows on the streamer and the design styles seen throughout them, Harris Brushes recently conducted a study that found the top Netflix shows that are crossing over into our interior design.
Coming in at number one is “Stranger Things“. The first instalment of the much-anticipated fourth season took three years (!) to be released thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was well worth the wait. Set in the ’80s, the series features plenty of retro decor and wood panelling. Searches for “MDF Wall Panelling Kits” are up by 400 percent according to Google Trends, while over on TikTok, content creators are designing their own “Stranger Things”-inspired spaces, whether it’s an alphabet wall or incorporating retro accessories.
Second place goes to “Selling Sunset”, with the light and clean Los Angeles aesthetic influencing people to go for neutral decor that’s often associated with the sprawling homes in the Hollywood Hills.
“The Crown” comes in at third place, with floral wallpaper and antique accents becoming a popular addition. To create a look fit for royalty, opt for a dark wood or mahogany finish for your furniture, as well as reaching for rich fabrics and jewel tones.
“The Home Edit” takes fourth place, a show that inspires to declutter and renew our spaces. #TheHomeEdit has more than 111,000 posts on Instagram, while the tag #TheHomeEditMadeMeDoIt has 1.8 million views on TikTok.
Finally, rounding out the top five is “The Queen’s Gambit.” One of the key interior trends to emerge from the show is clashing patterns, found in wallpaper, rugs and accessories, something that’s extremely prominent in both home design and fashion in 2022.
