Filipinos have had the privilege of seeing Taylor Swift live twice — first in 2011 during the Speak Now Era, and again in 2014 during the Red Era. Fast forward to 2023, the global pop star has announced dates for the international leg of her Eras Tour following the release of Midnights, her 10th studio album.
Unfortunately, the only Southeast Asian country announced to be part of her international concerts is only Singapore. Still, many Swifties from the Philippines keep their hopes high that the Music Industry will again grace the country for the third time to mesmerize both old and new generation of Swifties! (Besides, Quezon City alone is considered a Swift City in the Philippines, and has one of the most passionate fandoms in the world.)
If you're a certified fan, you most likely have a favorite album out of Taylor Swift's entire discography. If you do, consider designing your new or old home with Taylor Swift Eras-inspired style as one of the best ways to express your fandom. In this blog post, we've gathered home design tips inspired by Taylor Swift's Eras tour, from her humble beginnings via her self-titled album to the monumental Midnights Era.
Home Design Ideas Inspired by Taylor Swift Eras
You can express your being a bona fide Swiftie without telling anybody you're a Swiftie by subtly designing your interiors with the exquisite aesthetics of your favorite Taylor Swift album. From Debut to Midnights, refer to our guide to derive some helpful and cool design insights.
Debut Era
Taylor Swift's self-titled album is the peak of nostalgia for those who grew up listening to it from when it was first released. As such, you can create a nostalgic feel of your interiors by incorporating design elements inspired by the debut album. For example, consider having wooden furniture and topping them with anything vintage to achieve that sense of delightful wistfulness. You can also add a country-inspired rustic patterns such as plaid designs, floral prints, and complement them with shades of brown and earth tones.
Fearless (Taylor's Version) Era
The Fearless album is all about teenage angst and young, innocent love story told beautifully. Translate those into a home design that will best reflect the album's themes alongside its color palette, which is beige. If the Fearless Era is your preferred era, consider applying bold colors representing your own confidence and courage to face life's trials, so to speak. You can also put up a wall of bravery-themed quotes that epitomize your outlook in life.
Speak Now Era
Overall, the Speak Now album is tailored as a fairy tale of both heartaches and reciprocated loves. It is home to deeply melancholy tracks such as Dear John, Haunted, Last Kiss, and Back to December, but it is also home to songs about childhood (Never Grow Up), friendship (Long Live), and the magical feeling of love (Enchanted, Ours, Sparks Fly, and Mine).
The aesthetics of the album is purple, which is perfect for homeowners who prefer this characteristically girl-y appearance. This could be the perfect design choice for hopeless romantics who are fond of soft colors with complementary accents.
Red (Taylor's Version) Era
Taylor Swift's Red Era is arguably her saddest album ever. It's home to All Too Well, Sad Beautiful Tragic, and the like. Be that as it may, that doesn't necessarily mean that you have to opt for sadder aesthetics if Red is your favorite album or era. But the most palpable choice would be to opt for boldly red hues with darker accents to design your private space or even your living room. For a decoration, place a vase in your bedside table with red, artificial flowers, and consider a velvet sofa as one of your statement pieces.
1989 Era
The 1989 era is marked by a distinct transition to pop culture and imitative of style and aesthetics of the recent past. It is also highly regarded as a stupendous era with the best and most viewed music videos among her entire discography, with tracks such as Shake It Off, Blank Space, and Bad Blood reaching billions of YouTube views.
You can replicate 1989 era's distinctive style by hanging posters from your favorite album, motion picture, or contemporary art. As for color palette, consider royal blue or mauve to mimic the era's light but compelling aesthetics. To pay tribute to the queen, you can display a Taylor Swift memorabilia with a photograph or two from this sensational era.
Reputation Era
It took three years before Miss Americana reappeared to the public consciousness. The Reputation era is dubbed by fans and critics alike as her best comeback era. Her concerts at that time were also the most intricately gorgeous with impressive productions and sophisticated set designs. Not needless to say, Reputation is marked by dark, dauntless colors that reek of an emotionally intense atmosphere. The album cover is also black and white, so if you consider yourself a huge Rep stan, consider incorporating dark aesthetics into your kitchen or bedroom. However, make sure to complement dark surfaces with beige accent furniture.
Lover Era
After an era that's distinctly characterized by unapologetic behavior, Miss Swift transitions to lighter and softer colors that demonstrate her being so in love. The general public has the consensus that this album is about her relationship with Joe Alwyn. And though they reportedly broke up recently, this couldn't erase the fact that the Lover album stupendously narrates how their relationship grew and how love is golden like daylight, not the hackneyed red.
To replicate Lover, consider lighter hues such as pink, lavender, and other pastel colors. Incorporate floral designs, an artwork or poster that radiates positivity to hang on your bedroom wall, and fairy lights to radiate a romantic touch.
Folklore and Evermore Eras
Released on the same year in 2020, Folklore and Evermore are considered sister albums that went on to serve as an emotional therapy for avid fans during the pandemic's height. These two albums are lyrically superior and sonically remarkable. In the Cardigan's music video, it featured a moss-covered piano and scenes surrounded by greeneries. Achieve this by placing an indoor plant strategically within the house, hang a painting of trees or botanical gardens, and decorate with orange plaid throw pillows. Consider neutral tones for the overall atmosphere and add a rustic feel by opting for a wooden bedroom with a rattan chair on the side.
Midnights Era
Midnights become my afternoons. Taylor Swift's 10th studio album tackles sleepless nights and the pop star's emotionally charged songs written on such nights. It even has an extended edition called 3 AM and Till Dawn, gifting fans with even more eloquently penned songs that resonate well with them. To have a Midnights-inspired bedroom, go for dark blue hues made complementary with furniture accents. It's also befitting to have a glow-in-the dark stars for your ceiling. A painting resembling that of a Van Gogh artwork would also make for a wonderful display.
