Mick Jagger's Eclectic '60s Living Room Was a Portrait of Rock 'N' Roll Elegance

The best homes feel like an embodiment of their owners. In these spaces, the textiles, colors, and artwork all reflect the personalities of the people who live there.

In this vein, rockstar Mick Jagger's home reflected his rockstar lifestyle. A 1967 photoshoot for the Daily Express highlighted the bohemian, playful atmosphere of the Rolling Stone's Marylebone flat, Harley House. Often referred to as his 'party pad,' the patterned sofa, artwork, and writing on the wall of his living room feel lived-in rather than curated. It contains pieces collected over his travels that reflect his fashion sense.

Though not everyone wants to embody rock 'N' roll with their interiors, Mick's space serves as an important reminder: homes should be personality-led. By leaning into personality, we create homes that feel organic and collected over time.

Decades after Mick's living room was photographed, personality driven interiors, like his, are dominating 2027's interior design trends.

Magdalena Gierasinska, design expert at Barker and Stonehouse states: 'Increasingly consumers want their homes to feel characterful and reflective of their style and personality. Adding artwork to the space is one way to achieve this but there is also a growing interest in furniture and accessories that function as artwork in their own right. In the living room, this might mean choosing a sofa with a sculptural, expressive form or in the bedroom, it could be a statement, oversized headboard.'

She advises: 'Reimagining furniture and accessories as artwork means choosing pieces that feel expressive whether through form, colour or pattern. And it doesn’t have to be loud to be artful – a neutral, occasional chair with a curved form feels quietly elegant, yet speaks volumes by adding artistry to the space.'

Recreate Mick's Look at Home

Josh Branigan, senior furniture buyer at Cuckooland states: '2027 will see homes infused with individuality and joy. After years of minimalism, personal expression takes centre stage; interiors that reflect who we are, not just how we live.'

To replicate Mick's look, Josh advises: 'Expect a mix of eras, textures, and tones: vintage finds beside sleek modern forms, colour pops that surprise, and statement furniture, like a vibrant accent chair, that feels functional and full of character. This trend embraces playfulness and storytelling, think curved velvet armchairs in jewel hues, patterned wallpapers that spark conversation, and sculptural pieces that double as art.'

It's all about marching to the tune of your own drummer. Rather than algorithms, homeowners are looking internally to figure out what inspirations spark joy for them. Returning to historic interiors that embodied their owners is a great place to start.
