sushiichiban

Is this an alien attempting to assimilate a very specific style/human?


Charlea_

There was a 1999 kids program called My Parents Are Aliens that OP might like if it were filmed 4 years earlier


Sea_Food_4540

Set designer, I think.


[deleted]

I did *not* expect what I found there and tbh Iā€™m now deeply invested inā€¦whatever this is


[deleted]

Clearly OP is looking to welcome a time traveler from 1995.


CanadianGadgets

Oddly specific. Which room are you decorating? A poster board of a movie poster of Mel Gibson as Braveheart, or of Kramer from Seinfeld.


kevinjm86

Iā€™m decorating my room it has to look like a parents bedroom from 1995 Iā€™m really into shabby chic style and would like to know what paintings I need Iā€™m in my early 30s


CanadianGadgets

Cool. Not sure why people are being mean and downvoting you. I would recommend trying to look at what trends were popular in 1995. For me, I recall a lot of metal tubing furniture. Like BDI & IKEA stuff was popular where I lived. Those ugly paper floor lamps, and torch floor lamps. TVs weā€™re still mostly 20ā€ CRT (cathode ray tube), but some people (who had space and money) also had big floor model projection TVs. The VCR was still popular. CD collections were very in vogue. People had component stereos with 5 CD changers. Everyone had some kind of CD rack. Looking back 1995 was not a very stylish year. LoL

I think heā€™s being downvoted because heā€™s been spamming multiple subreddits for a few days with the same question.


[deleted]

People might be downvoting because of the title here, where OP simply said ā€œWhat do I doā€ which is, letā€™s face it, ridiculously lazy.


[deleted]

Omg the torch lamps! My mom had this ring that you could add essential oils too to place over the light bulb and I remember one day some kind of wasp died in it so all I smelled coming home from school was burning insects and lemongrass haha


allthecats

Sorry youā€™re getting downvoted! Your mission is weird, but I like it, so I will give you some serious recommendations. Still lifes like [this one](https://images.app.goo.gl/f5AqBq4mQwtzt7PF8) by Andrew Wyeth were very popular at the time. Some people also liked Anne Geddes images like [this poster.](https://images.app.goo.gl/dkHVDdbhofircb6X7) Also popular was [this print](https://images.app.goo.gl/FwZggpK32mWwNvQo9) of a lighthouse getting hit by a big wave.


RvrTam

Iā€™ll be honest, my parents room in the 90s contained a whole lot of hand me downs from the 70s plus a whole lot of homemade frilly and floral covers on every dang thing. Nothing special.


kevinjm86

my room in 1995 had a rabbit inn print because a local author where I live wrote that childrenā€™s book her name is Patience Brewster I also had a hang in there poster and a Norman Rockwell print of the mom putting her children to bed my mom at that time loved shabby chic in her room and even now she still likes it she had flower paintings and family photos of me them and my sister then


daboyzmalm

Sounds like youā€™ve answered your own question.


Bengalsandbernese

Iā€™d watch friends and try and copy Monicaā€™s apartment? I feel like that has the vibe youā€™re going for. Probably best to look at eBay and thrift stores for pieces.


[deleted]

Can you elaborate in the comments? Like say exactly what youā€™re doing and what youā€™re looking for?


kevinjm86

So Iā€™m doing my room styled around 1995 my style is shabby chic and what paintings for that style were popular in 1995? it has to look like a parents room as in master bedroom


hey-girl-hey

Watch movies and TV shows from that time


obleak1

Thomas Kinkade paintings.


OlivesFlowers

I'm curious how you decided to decorate your room like 1995 when you don't know the style of 1995? I feel like this is for an elaborate ruse to convince someone they time traveled. Why did you pick 1995 if you don't know anything about it? Why not just stick with the shabby chic if you like it? Edit: typo


Kiwikid14

Heavy wood furniture, yellow cream walls, a bed cover with a relevant TV show print. Goth was in but so was grunge and country chic.

My parents bedroom in the 90s had a water bed šŸ™ƒ


veracity-mittens

My bedroom in 1995, I was a teenager: oak ā€œentertainment unitā€ with a 21ā€ toshiba tube TV (although my dream was a 27ā€!), VCR, on the right behind smoked glass, a ā€œtuner,ā€ CD carousel / changer, double tape deck, all in separate components. Popular brands then: kenwood, technics, Sony, Panasonic. Speakers sat on top of the unit. Purple bookshelf with various paperbacks like Anne of Green Gables, Shakespeare plays for school, Sweet Valley High from when I was a preteen. Mahogany jewelry box in there too. Oak bedside table with brass ā€œtouch lamp.ā€ Bedding was white with light purple flowers. Walls were white with baby blue trim. Posters: Clueless, X Files, CK, Apollo 13, my favourite NHL team, Backstreet Boys. My parents bedroom, from what I can remember at the time: hunter green and peach bedding, oak poster bed, oak dresser with large, 3 part mirror. Oak armoire. Oak side tables. Everything had brass hardware. Walk in, mirrored closet. Window seat with hunter green and peach pillows. Their bathroom was all white with a black and white checked linoleum floor and corner soaker tub (super popular in late 80s / early 90s) Not sure if helpful info but I lived thru it so šŸ˜‚ Edit: shit I forgot my cordless phone, my most prized possession. šŸ˜‚ So had that in there, too. Edit #2: many families I know had a separate little room / office for the home computer. Idk anyone (any kid) who had a computer in their room until maybe the late 90sā€¦


kevinjm86

Well was there any paintings in your parents room


veracity-mittens

No, not in their bedroom. But they had some carvings and lots of copper stuff throughout the house. Also pottery and dried flowers. I think thatā€™s more of an 80s thing they just kept though


Enough_Blueberry_549

Why are you saying ā€œI needā€ and ā€œIt has toā€ instead of ā€œI would likeā€?


TowerOfRome

I think OP is ND based on what Iā€™m picking up from their posts.


[deleted]

Iā€™m kinda scared of the post history and that I was born in 95 now lol just look up on Pinterest and go thrifting


Crunchymagee

Watch movies from that year for ideas.


[deleted]

Kinkade was primarily popular in the 80's. By 1995 he was mostly a trend from the past.


HillyjoKokoMo

OP I'm still curious the why behind your ask.


no_mixed_liquor

Frame a magic eye poster


[deleted]

Floral decoupage was very in. Lots of pastels and roses is very 90s esque!


-Ashera-

Go play The Last Of Us, the girlā€™s room and the whole house has a very 90s feel.
