Friends-Inspired Coffee Table
As any Friends fan will know, Central Perk’s iconic orange couch is incomplete without the vintage wooden coffee table in front of it. To recreate this look, find a sturdy, old wooden coffee table at a thrift store or garage sale. Sand it down, and then apply a coat of dark wood stain. Once it's dry, add a layer of clear varnish for a glossy finish. Finally, accessorize your table with some vintage books, a large ceramic bowl, and a quirky table lamp to recreate that Central Perk vibe.
Game of Thrones Style Candle Holders
The medieval aesthetics of Game of Thrones can add a touch of drama to your living room. Start by collecting some glass jars—jam or mason jars work perfectly. Then, buy some black lace or crochet fabric and cut it into bands that fit around the jars. Use a hot glue gun to secure the fabric around the jars. Once dry, place pillar candles inside for a dramatic, GoT-worthy centerpiece.
Breaking Bad-Inspired Chemistry Vases
Channel your inner Walter White and create a chemistry set-inspired vase. Purchase some Erlenmeyer flasks and test tubes online or from a local science supply shop. Fill them with your favorite flowers and arrange them on a shelf or table. This is a unique and conversation-starting way to display your blooms.
The Office-Inspired Corkboard
Dunder Mifflin's office corkboard is full of hilarious and quirky details. To make your own, start with a large corkboard and paint the frame in a bright, cheerful color. Then, fill it with notes, photos, and other personal mementos. For an authentic touch, add an office-wide memo or a funny quote from your favorite character.
Stranger Things Light Wall
For fans of Stranger Things, the light wall is a standout feature. To recreate this in your living room, purchase a string of multicolored Christmas lights and arrange them on your wall in a random pattern. Then, using letter stencils, paint letters under each light bulb. For a fun addition, connect the lights to a smart plug that you can control with your phone, making your living room feel like it's communicating with the Upside Down.
