Cher's personal style has always been famously unique, and this individuality extends right into her interior design. Photos of her home, shared by her close friend and interior designer Martyn Lawrence Bullard, show that the goddess of pop's taste is distinctly her own. Her unique bedroom in her California home is a prime example.

See Martyn's pictures of Cher's bedroom and guest bedroom below. The images reveal that Cher's California bedroom (slide 3) features a striking Moroccan-inspired design, in keeping with the rest of her home.

Mehnaz Khan, the principal designer at Color Conscious Living, agrees on the power of personal taste, adding, 'The design of your living space significantly affects your subconscious, and the key is not to worry about perfect matching or following trends. If you picked something because it genuinely spoke to you; not because it is the latest trend or because everyone else has it – it will all come together and create a cohesive and harmonious look,' she says.

'Remember the common thread that ties it all together is you. A space designed this way is truly unique because it is a true reflection of you and there is no one like you on the planet.' Cher's eclectic bohemian bedroom idea is a perfect illustration of this lasting quality.

Furthermore, experts suggest that travel and global styles are excellent, perpetually fashionable sources for interior design inspiration.

Mehnaz states, 'Surrounding yourself with items that hold a personal story and were chosen during your travels because they resonated with you on a deep level has a profound impact on your home. It creates an environment that truly supports you and serves as a constant reminder of your rich experiences.'

Tara adds that this journey has broader benefits: 'Travel can be a huge source of creative inspiration as well as personal growth. Navigating the unfamiliar can help you discover things you never knew about yourself and can unlock new ways of seeing things. Incorporating design elements from places you've visited can be a beautiful reminder of meaningful moments.'

For those hoping to incorporate a similar feeling into their own space, perhaps as a cozy retreat when the autumn chill sets in or a vibrant escape during the summer heat, McCauley offers this advice: 'It's better to thoughtfully collect pieces over time that are personal to you, rather than trying to recreate an exact replica of a style that doesn't work with the architectural vernacular of where you live.'

Does reading about Cher's globally inspired design make you think about which travel memories you might want to bring into your own space? Let me know in the comments below.
