My family finds Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia so comforting, feeling their spirit all around us honestly made us a little emotional. Thank you for being a friend, Dollar Tree.
What exactly is Golden Girls decor?
It’s a real thing, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it. Golden Girls decor is basically a cozy take on the “Palm Beach Regency” aesthetic—old Hollywood glam pepped up with Miami color and tropical influences. Think wicker and rattan furniture, banana leaf and tropical prints, golden touches, lush greenery and pops of bright pastels.
Golden Girls decor is vibrant, a little kitschy and unapologetically joyful—and it looks incredible in a kitchen, a living room, a bedroom or a patio. And these examples from Dollar Tree are a very inexpensive way to test it out in your space.
6 Golden Girls decor finds that bring the show’s magic to real life
Every single one of these is worth a trip to the store.
Wallpaper that’s just like Blanche’s, $1.50 a sheet
The Golden Girls kitchen was decked out in gold palm-frond wallpaper, while Blanche’s bedroom featured a tropical banana leaf pattern made famous by the Beverly Hills Hotel. Dollar Tree carries wallpaper in patterns so similar that we couldn’t believe it. And since the sheets are renter-friendly and fully removable, they’re an easy, commitment-free way to experiment. (Shout out to Phoebe Downing for taking these great shots as we shopped!) We’re planning to use them for a statement wall that’s fun, sassy and classy.
Palm Beach Regency-style wall hooks, $1.50 each
The Girls’ living room featured gold wall sconces with seashell-shaped silhouettes, which are classic examples of Palm Beach Regency design. Dollar Tree’s gilded wall hooks have that same vibe—and you can pick up several to add Golden glow to an entryway or bathroom.
Bottles, tumblers and candles in Miami pastels, $1.25-$5 each
Back in the 1980s, Florida was awash in coral pink, mint green, pale turquoise and butter yellow—just like these pretty Dollar Tree pieces. They’re a gorgeous nod to Golden Girls that can work seamlessly into virtually any design aesthetic.
“Miami Deco” mirrors, $1.50 each
When Golden Girls was filmed, Art Deco was having a major revival in Miami, putting a sunny spin on bold geometric shapes with metallic accents. The show’s set designers frequently hung small decorative mirrors in pairs or vertical trios to make the living area and lanai feel brighter and more spacious. Dollar Tree’s Special Moments Golden Decorative Mirrors collection is a perfect way to recreate the effect.
Lush tropical greenery, starting at $1.75
Can you use Dollar Tree’s artificial greenery to recreate some of the tropical plants that help establish the show’s vibrant Miami aesthetic? Of course you can! Just get creative using various ferns and fronds ($1.75 per stem), floral foam (in a variety of sizes, $1.75 each) and Dollar Tree pots and planters (starting at $1.50). We’re also obsessed with the arrangement @beautifully.you.parenthood created on Instagram using Dollar Tree ferns, a pot and a $1.50 pool noodle.
Tropical motif throw pillows and blankets, starting at $5
They’ve got a palm frond motif and they’re cozy—and it just doesn’t get more Golden Girls than that! Toss one of these pillows or blankets on your sofa or bed, and you’ve instantly captured the warm, vacation-at-home energy that made the show’s set design so inviting and so beloved.
Ready to create a Golden Girls glow at your place?
Whether you’re going all-in on a Golden Girls-inspired room makeover or just want to add a few cheerful, tropical touches to your space, Dollar Tree can help you pull it off beautifully—and for well under $20 total. That’s a deal even Sophia would approve of.
