How to channel Daisy Jones & The Six’s free-spirited style at home
A fresh and tasteful take on Seventies aesthetics brings easy-breezy cool, says Adele Cardani
It’s hard to resist a tale about the legendary, yet short-lived, exuberant rise and chaotic fall of a rock band set against the backdrop of 1970s Los Angeles. I’ve always adored evocative “I’m with the band” anecdotes that resemble Cameron Crowe’s Almost Famous – the on the road, half-asleep-with-your-feet-up-on-the-dash type stories. The ones accented by a single, stuffed-to-the-brim suitcase, new best friends, and a different city every night. Where groupies like Penny Lane roll out of crammed motel beds in the concert tees they’ve worn for days and throw on some flared jeans. Stories of barefoot dancing on stage long after the show is over and watching the sun come up on your way to the next venue.
Prime Video’s new hit series Daisy Jones & The Six, based on the bestseller by Taylor Jenkins Reid (and very much reminiscent of Rumours-era Fleetwood Mac), has taken us back into that time capsule of covetable style and unapologetic cool. According to Pinterest, “Daisy Jones & The Six aesthetic” has tripled in searches since the show came out. For our homes, this means low-slung velvet and rattan furniture, the humble houseplant, bamboo drinks trolleys, and terrazzo surfaces. Think toffee-coloured, polished wood-clad walls, mustard yellows, avocado greens, and autumnal floral prints. And if, like myself, you can’t say no to a little bit of sparkle, consider hanging a disco ball above your sofa, allowing the sun to shed flecks of confetti light around the living room.
