Movie & TV show set designs that you can consider before choosing your home interior*

Whether you’ve got a tasteful Hampton-style home, an opulent Sydney beachfront house, a classic New York penthouse, or a vacation home somewhere in Europe, you can always pick some elements from your favourite movie and tv shows to create a stunning interior.

The silver screen is overflowing with style and space inspirations that often excite movie buffs and pop-culture fans. If you’re either of the two or both, then check out this list of classic movies and tv shows that can influence your home aesthetics.

Friends

Friends is a show that inspired an entire generation. From iconic characters of the show to Monica’s playful purple apartment and the famous Central Perk café, people loved everything about Friends.

Since most of the action in the series took place in Monica and Rachel’s apartment, the interior of that apartment displayed everything from character’s personality to the trends of that era.

There are many elements of that apartment that you can consider for your home, but the most significant is the iconic purple front door with golden famed peephole. Pick light purple or lilac paint colour for your front door if you’re after something that screams Friends.

Sex & the City 

Carrie Bradshaw’s apartment is a dream for women who loves fashion and wardrobe. Converting an entire room into a walking closet is a classic move to make if your dresses, bags, and shoes mean the world to you. Go for a dazzling closet with sliding doors, rich and luxurious carpet, a rustic dressing table, and a fabulous mirror that goes with it. Doing this will get you the glamorous and feminine interior you desired so much after watching this movie.

The Great Gatsby 

If anyone is looking to add some glitz and glamour to their homes, then Great Gatsby should be their ultimate source of inspiration. Each room in Gatsby’s mansion has a distinct feel to it. While most of the interior is grandiose and ostentatious, there are a few elements that you can incorporate in your cosy homes. For instance, marquetry flooring, traditional arched windows, polished hardwood doors, and soft and crisp drapes. If you think Gatsby’s over-the-top splendour is unachievable, then you can take some décor inspirations from Nick’s homey cottage.

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

While this movie epitomizes the glamour of fifth avenue, the protagonist’s apartment is a testament to the idea that less is more. Her apartment is sparse and only has things she absolutely needs. The furniture and décor used to create the set is minimalistic yet stunning and elegant. If your sense of aesthetics is as refined as Holly Golightly’s, then go for minimalist furniture and a standard white ascot door.

No matter what your movies preferences are, you’ll always find some fashion and interior design inspirations from the big screen. Many set designers have divulged their tricks and tips on making film sets which can be handful while creating spectacular interior for your own home.
