Juno Temple uses one color to create her own twist on maximalism – her space feels simultaneously sophisticated and fun

Juno Temple has made a huge splash in her role as Keeley in Ted Lasso, and the interiors of her home are just as bold. The maximalist space celebrates transitional style, glamor, and, above all, the color pink.

Temple's living space revels in the whimsical hue. From her bubblegum pink fluffy throw blanket to her soft pink curtains to the warm pink lighting in the corner of the room, the actress's space explores a variety of ways to use pink. Somehow, they all fit together perfectly.

The mix of Hollywood Regency, mid-century modern, and contemporary furniture helps bring together these dissonant shades by drawing the eye everywhere in the room at once. Juno Temple's space is grounded by her matte white walls and light-washed hardwood floors, which keep the look's maximalism from becoming too overwhelming.

Pink is a popular living room color for its mood-boosting properties. Nina Lichtenstein, Westchester-based interior designer, tells Homes & Gardens: 'Decorating a home with pink can transform your space into a haven of elegance, warmth, and charm. Often associated with love, tranquility, and sophistication, pink evokes various moods depending on its shade and the context in which it is used. From soft blushes to vibrant fuchsias, pink is a versatile color that can enhance any room when used thoughtfully.'

Furthermore, the color trend is popular because of its incredible versatility. Lichtenstein says: 'Pink is a color that naturally evokes feelings of calmness and compassion. Soft, pastel pinks create a serene and soothing environment, ideal for relaxation and contemplation. In contrast, brighter, bolder pinks can energize a space, infusing it with vibrancy and creativity. Pink's ability to evoke such diverse moods makes it a valuable tool in home decoration, capable of adapting to different atmospheres and purposes.'

Pink is especially effective when used in a living room. 'A pink accent wall or pink furniture can add warmth and personality to a living room. When paired with neutral tones, pink can create a sophisticated and inviting space for entertaining and unwinding,' Lichtenstein says,

Juno Temple's living room incorporates furniture and textiles in a mix of styles from across eras. Our editors tracked down similar pieces to help you recreate the eclectic design in your own home.

First, we found this vintage Hollywood Regency lamp that closely resembles Temple's on Etsy. Our editors love how the closed flowers present a slightly more delicate look. This brass table from Pottery Barn has all of the charm of the actress's look at a more accessible price point. Finally, though we love Temple's white pleather sofa, we thought this similarly shaped cotton-upholstered version from Wayfair would be easier to style in a contemporary home.


If you are hoping to decorate with pink, as Juno Temple's space demonstrates, it's all about balance and texture. 'When using pink, balance is key,' advises Lichtenstein.

'Use pink as an accent color against a backdrop of neutral tones to prevent the space from feeling overwhelming. Pink cushions throws, or artwork can add pops of color without dominating the room. Incorporate various textures to add depth and interest to a pink space. Good options are velvet pink pillows, silk curtains, or a plush pink rug. Mixing materials creates a rich, layered look that enhances the color's appeal.

The best designs happen when conventions are thrown out the window to bring together a variety of things that aren't 'supposed' to go together, but somehow, it just works. Juno Temple's living room embodies this.
