INSPIRED BY: 90'S GRUNGE EDITION


Have you ever imagined what your house would look like if Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love (circa 1992) came and squatted for a week?  What if Pearl Jam were actually interior designers?  What if Soundgarden came and redecorated your bedroom while you were trying to sleep and scared the bejesus out of you? No? Yeah, me neither. These are really shitty analogies and I would not let any of these people near my house let alone touch any of my things. Except maybe Courtney Love, but only because it would be funny as hell to watch her get drunk and pop pills and try to feng shui your house and trip all over your stuff and leave her old bras that she used as ashtrays everywhere and make muumuus out of your sheets and talk to your house plants and then they mysteriously die the next day.  Instead why don't you just imagine all of the coolest concepts from the 90's inside of your house, and that's where we get our latest "Inspired By" inspiration.  So cue the Collective Soul, hop into my Honda CRX and let's take a ride back to the 1990's.  Shall we?
Let your painted Dr. Martens lead the way.  
Wouldn't this look cool on a bookshelf?


Your mantra.


Queer Eye guys or Stone Temple Pilots?
Those crocodile shoes beg to differ.  



The way we were...
Nirvana's sarongs are your inspiration.


90's grungy "Pre-Jolie" Brad Pitt is your inspiration too.  
If you can't picture him sitting in your room, smoking a Marlboro 
and playing a shitty song on his guitar, then it ain't meant to be.  


Nothing says "I don't give a f*ck" 90's grunge like a couch so dilapidated that it's cool.


Throw in a coffee table that looks like a guitar case that toured around the world.  


That old couch could use some flannel!  Couldn't everything?  


Guitars, an amp and black walls.  That's grungy, yall.  


Photo wallpaper collage, red velvet couch, old-school quilts.  


Don't forget to get that old Pearl Jam concert poster framed.



It's supposed to look dirty.  That's why we call it grunge.


Go ahead, just stack those old magazines in the corner.  


The Lilith Fair.  
Did someone say Lilith?


MHV - Must have velvet.  
And throw a creepy baby doll on top in honor of Courtney.


Setting for a weird REM video or awesome room?  I think it's both.  


Messy Dirty Chic.  That's the idea.  
A Minnie Mouse head is the cherry on top.
Rug Prerequisite: Must look like a Baja.

Bring the Nirvana MTV Unplugged set into your bathroom!


If it doesn't look like Lollapalooza 1994 happened in your house,
you're doing something wrong.


Oh and did I mention flannel?

Now get to decorating, and make your mother proud.
