I was merely five years old in the year 2000, but there's something about it that stands out in my memory. While I wasn't of age to turn on MTV, I was still a huge Britney Spears fan [1]. And even though I was too young to have decor taste, I grew up with lava lamps, flower-shaped rugs, and a corded lip-shaped phone that my parents refused to connect to their landline. (Rightfully so.) Y2K's style impacted my childhood, and it's coming back into modern decor with a vengeance.
From shag rugs to checkerboard prints to wavy mirrors [2] and flower-power designs, the bold and care free spirit of the early aughts is seeping its way into the 2020s in a big way. If you're looking to embed some early '00s flair into your home [3], Amazon [4] has a ton of great selections. See our top picks from the retailer ahead.
A Shag Carpet: Junovo Soft Rainbow Area Rug
The Junovo Soft Rainbow Area Rug [6] ($40) has a no-shed no-slip design that will integrate seamlessly into your home. Great for living rooms or bedrooms, this rug's ultra-soft shag won't disappoint.
A Lava Lamp: Lava Lite
Illuminate your bedroom with this Lava Lite [7] ($33). The hypnotic lamp casts a glow that'll put you at ease, plus its mesmerising lava blobatude doubles as a piece of art.
Checkerboard Pillow Cases: Jojesus Decorative Throw Pillow Covers
Give throw pillows a Y2K feel with the Jojesus Decorative Throw Pillow Covers [8] ($21). The wool covers showcase a checkerboard print that's suitable for bedrooms or living rooms.
A Groovy Disco Ball: Mirror Disco Ball
You don't have to have a dance floor to incorporate this Mirror Disco Ball [9] ($27) into your home. In fact, it can be hung anywhere — like a bedroom or dining room — for a unique twist.
A Unique Candle: Bubble Candle
This Bubble Candle [10] ($10) is cube-shaped, with a twisted bubble-esque texture. The soy-wax candle has a sweet scent and three to six hours of burn time.
A Corded Phone: Pink Lip Landline Phone
How could we forget all the cool phones that came with Y2K decor? This corded Pink Lip Landline Phone [11] ($32) is a blast from the past, with a chrome exterior that looks gorgeous among other decor. It works with your landline as well and has great sound quality.
A Fun Pillow: Uewidiod Flower-Shaped Pillow Cushion
Available in an array of sizes and colours, the Uewidiod Flower-Shaped Pillow Cushion [12] ($15) is perfect for a bedroom or living room. Layer it with other pillows, or let it stand alone for a bold statement.
A Bold Pillow: Ashler 3D Lips Throw Pillow
You'll want to snuggle up with the Ashler 3D Lips Throw Pillow [13] ($17, originally $18) all night long. Its soft polyester material feels identical to velvet, and it's available in a variety of colours to match your decor.
A Vintage-Looking Frame: Checked Pattern Picture Frame
The Checked Pattern Picture Frame [14] ($16) is hard to miss. The unique frame comes in three sizes — 4x6, 5x7, and 8x10 — and is made of plexiglass for a shatter-proof display.
A Flower Vase: Vosorea Pink Acrylic Cloud Shaped Flower Vase
Accent freshly picked flowers with this Vosorea Pink Acrylic Cloud Shaped Flower Vase [15] ($19). The cloud vase is available in a range of colours and a great decoration for your home.
For the Living Room: Solid Square Seat Cushion

A Vibrant Alarm Clock: Twin Bell Green Alarm Clock
The classic twin-bell style and bright-green colour of the Twin Bell Green Alarm Clock [17] ($16) will take you back in time (literally). The alarm rings loud and proud for heavy sleepers who need it.
A Unique Snack Tray: Picket House Acrylic Snack Table
Not only is the Picket House Acrylic Snack Table [18] ($167) a sight to behold (we love its iridescent pink trim), but it's also a household convenience — its clear casters let you roll it around to wherever you wish.
A Trippy Pillow: Mushroom Flower Hippie Throw Pillow
How trippy is this Mushroom Flower Hippie Throw Pillow [19] ($20)? Inspired by the '60s and '70s, this mushroom and floral-printed pillow adds a happy-go-lucky, joyous vibe to your home.
A Unique Mirror: Irregular Aesthetic Mirror
The Irregular Aesthetic Mirror [20] ($10, originally $11) boasts a unique cloud shape and has a wood base that's great for desks or bathrooms. Use it for mirror selfies or to do your makeup — it's good for both.
