5 Minimalist Chic Pieces Inspired By Janet Jackson’s Living Room

Janet Jackson has been dominating the headlines with her head-scratching comments about Vice President Kamala Harris’ racial background in a recent interview with The Guardian. But Jackson’s home decor has also been on people’s minds as interior designers can’t stop talking about a TikTok video she posted recently.

In the video, the “Control” artist is posing in front of a wall that has two levels of built-in shelving. One shelf is decorated with two ceramic vases, and the other includes an arrangement of simple greenery.

The addition of the built-in shelving provides a space-saving option that brings character into any room. Built-ins are perfect for apartment dwellers as they give you more places to add decorative accessories without having to invest in other pieces of furniture.

According to Decorilla, minimalist decor in a neutral color palette is a classic look that isn’t going anywhere in 2025. “The result is a serene, inviting environment that promotes well-being,” the blog said.

“Built-ins make the home feel more detailed and more thoughtful,” interior designer Laura Hodges told Southern Living. “And, if they can be built in such a way that is functionally timeless to the home and not too specific just for one particular homeowner, then that definitely adds a lot of value.”

If you want to bring a little of Jackson’s aesthetic into your home, we’ve found some amazing accessories that will help you create a minimalist chic look all your own.

The unique shape and the gorgeous glaze finish make the ceramic Charma Vase from Domain ($59) helps this piece steal the show on any shelf.

Less is definitely more with the Vase Solifl’Or ($129) from Marie Burgos Collection. The gold accents are a beautifully subtle addition to the white porcelain vase.

The Weaver Bird Black Fiber Clay Bust ($349) from CB2's Black Designer Collective is a fiber clay bust inspired by Muthoni wa Kirima, a top-ranking female freedom fighter in 1950s Kenya.

You don’t have to have a green thumb to bring greenery into your living space. These Faux Queen Anne’s Lace Wildflowers ($54) from Afloral look almost too fabulous to be fake.

Whether you add the Faux Baby Blue Eucalyptus Bundle ($29) from Pottery Barn to an existing floral arrangement or put them in a vase all their own, this is a low-maintenance way to bring some style to your space.
