(Pride & Prejudice interior via)
What are your favorite on-screen interiors?? You know, the shows/movies that are good, but then the set design makes them even better?! Or maybe you watch exclusively for the set design? Lately, I’ve been so inspired by movies and shows–these are masters at creating mood and ambience with interiors. It’s more than beautiful, it tells a story. Right now, I’m feeling especially inspired by:
Emma (2020)
Knives Out
Little Women (2019) but both really
A Little Princess (1995)
Downton Abbey (forever!)
Queen’s Gambit
Bridgerton
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Really striking traditional interiors! So much eye candy. I excited for our home to tell its own story over the next months and years, but I would be lying if I didn’t say I wish I could hurry it along. These things take so much time and energy and MONEY and I know I’ll appreciate it even more for the time it takes. In the meantime, tell me your favorite thing to watch for the eye candy interiors–it’s movie night here!

Practical Magic and The Holiday are my FAVS!
The California ranch house on the old Parent Trap has always been my fave.
Came here to say this same thing. The courtyard! The fountain!
The interior of Hannah and Her Sisters is interesting because it’s Mia Farrow’s real apartment & furnishings. Eclectic and relaxed in style. Not sophisticated, but sometimes maybe that’s better? Icy perfection in design can produce compliments, but leave visitors uncomfortable at times. And a house done completely in neutrals can feel cold or bland. I remember the delight I took as a child in my bedroom wall color, which was a soft green with a touch of blue. It would be a shame to grow up without examples of exuberant color.
Emily in Paris (specifically her office and the moldings)
…absolutely anything by absolutely any movie by Nancy Meyers!
