Photographs from 1968 show the couple's living room featuring a cream and beige wall palette, dark-stained desks and chairs, vintage lamps, and an antique rotary phone, creating a welcoming and eclectic atmosphere. These elements exemplify a design approach that blends function, warmth, and timelessness.
Experts predict mid-century modern will dominate interiors in 2026. Marie Goodwin of Prestigious Textiles notes that block patterns, geometric motifs, and curved furniture will merge with neutral colourways to bring simplicity and charm to modern homes. She advises grounding spaces with muted palettes, then introducing personality through bold prints and vibrant soft furnishings.
For those seeking authenticity, recreating Sonny and Cher's look is accessible, from modern curved lounge chairs to fluted floor lamps and ornate picture frames. Their approach demonstrates that classic design principles, when thoughtfully combined with personal touches, remain highly relevant.
Cher's historic home confirms that design rooted in quality, balance, and individuality transcends trends, offering enduring inspiration for 2026 interiors and beyond.
