Internet audiences love Debby Ryan for her quirky and energetic personality. Photos of the Jessie actress's home show that Debby practices what she preaches: her whimsical and colorful home perfectly epitomizes the bright dopamine decor trend.
The former Disney star's living room is a 70s-inspired oasis filled with fun, plant-inspired details. Peek inside the Columbus, Ohio home that Debby Ryan shares with her husband, 21 Pilots drummer Josh Dun, below.
Interior designer Nicholas Kaiko describes Ryan and Dun's space as an 'unapologetic embrace of maximalism.' The colorful room is complete with a large floral mural in the corner, a large mossy flower display on the mantel, and a bright piece of modern art in the middle of the room. The couple perches on mossy green armchairs with the TikTok viral strawberry stool between them. Each fun detail seems perfectly designed to make Debbie Ryan and Josh Dun happier at home.

Experts love how the couple has designed the home to be their own personal oasis. Nicholas Kaiko says: 'The mural not only infuses a sense of fun and enthusiasm but also acts as a massive statement piece. By wrapping around the bay window, it creates an almost immersive experience. It’s as if you’re nestled in a meadow, especially with the thoughtful touches of yellow soft accessories on the bench seat echoing the mural's vibrant hues. This whimsical addition showcases Debby and Josh's spontaneity and enthusiasm.'
He continues on the colorful living room idea, 'While the mural sets a playful tone other details and accents in the room underscore this penchant for personal connections and novelty. The strawberry stools, not just functional seating, are conversational pieces, embodying a quirky and creative spirit. Meanwhile, the fireplace, with its stacked light grey stone, offers both warmth and a grounding element amidst the whimsy.'
