11 Things You Desperately Wanted In Your Bedroom In The 90s

But your Mum had other ideas...

1. Walls plastered with indie pinups

Touchstone / Via teenagebedroomsonscreen.com

What you actually got: a Smash Hits centrefold of Scott from 5ive, who wasn’t even your favourite one tbh.

2. A glass roof like in Hey Arnold

Nickelodeon / Via codymcmillen.tumblr.com

What you actually got: a pack of glow-in-the-dark stars. Those incorrect constellations still haunt you every time you’re home for Christmas.

3. A futon for gossip-fuelled sleepovers

Amazon / Via amazon.co.uk

What you actually got: a squeaky inflatable sofa, that somehow always managed to find a patch of your bare skin to stick to.

4. A floor-to-ceiling lava lamp

Warisan Lighting / Via warisanlighting.com

What you actually got: a tacky plasma globe that never fulfilled its true destiny.

5. A Hollywood dressing table

Etsy / Via etsy.com

What you actually got: some fairy lights and a CK One gift set from Boots that lasted you until Sixth Form... Pretty good trade off, actually.

6. An automatic closet like Cher from Clueless

Paramount / Via observer.com

What you actually got: a hanging wardrobe organiser that’s still stuffed with old Christmas pyjamas.

7. A mini locker with a secret combination

Nickelodeon / Via teen.com

What you actually got: a fluffy diary with a flimsy heart-shaped padlock.

8. Oh, and while we're on Clarissa - a window with a ladder so your BFF could sneak in and visit you

Nickelodeon / Via vanwinkles.com

What you actually got: the room above the extension. If you were lucky.

9. A bright blue iMac (for the desk under your bunkbed)

Valhalla / Nickelodeon / Via starringthecomputer.com

What you actually got: a jotter and some smelly gel pens from The Works

10. An exposed brick wall or some sophisticated French art

NBC / Via hookedonhouses.net

What you actually got: a Groovy Chick wallpaper border, or maybe a Man United one.

11. A fur-lined egg chair

Gramercy / Via newslang89.wordpress.com

What you actually got: a mysteriously saggy beanbag. Seriously, where did all those polystyrene beads go? We need answers.

If the 90s were wrong, then we don't wanna be right...
