Pee-wee's Playhouse was as much a show for adults as it was for kids, and a seamless way for parents to onboard the next generation onto a love of John Waters, the B-52s, and drag culture. The beloved show ran from 1986 to 1990, and was an invitation for viewers into Paul Reubens' personal universe, which felt like a K-hole version of Memphis Design where high- and low-brow materials (pop art decor and literal piles of clay, respectively) mixed, an influence of the 1990s Global Village Coffeehouse aesthetic thrived, and one could find touches of oversized, late-80s oversized novelty decor. Today, we're tapping into our inner Pee-weeite to honor the late Paul Reubens by turning our home into a 2023 version of Puppetland. You don't have to anthropomorphize your West Elm armchair to recreate Reubens' whimsy, but there are plenty of affordable, functional design cues we can take from his imagination to bring a little more color and life into our own.
