Roman Polanski once said that "good cinema should make you forget you are sitting in a theater," and this couldn't be truer than when it comes to interior design in films. The way a set is decorated can add layers to the story being told, creating an immersive experience that stays with viewers long after the credits roll. Think about how the sterile minimalism of "American Psycho" enhances the protagonist's obsession or how the opulent extravagance of "The Great Gatsby" mirrors the characters' excesses.

Interior design in films often becomes a character in itself, influencing the mood and tone of the story. Brands like Boca do Lobo have made their mark on the silver screen, with their furniture pieces appearing in movies such as "50 Shades of Grey." Their iconic tasseled sofas were key elements in "The Royal Tenenbaums," while their monochrome wallpapers were memorable in "Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky." Today, Covet House Blog brings you a guide to achieving those cinematic interiors in your own home. Sit back, relax, and let's dive into some iconic sets that will inspire your next design project.
Baz Luhrmann is renowned for his extravagant and visually stunning productions, from "Moulin Rouge" to "Romeo + Juliet." His adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel brought the opulence of the Roaring Twenties to life, earning the film an Oscar for Best Production Design. Daisy Buchanan's sitting room, bathed in soft pink hues with champagne accents, epitomizes the quintessential "girl's girl" aesthetic. The set design captures the essence of Gatsby's lavish lifestyle, blending grandeur with a delicate charm.
The set design of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is nothing short of magical. The neutral tones of Holly Golightly's apartment serve as a stunning backdrop to the vibrant costumes, allowing them to stand out even more. The claw-foot half bathtub sofa, cushioned with pops of color, adds a playful touch to the otherwise serene space. This combination of simplicity and boldness makes the living room a focal point of the film.
Set against the snowy backdrop of a fictitious Eastern European country, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is a delightful blend of comedy and drama. The hotel's lobby, adorned with crimson-red carpets, marble columns, and ornate brass lighting, was created in the atrium of Görlitzer Warenhaus, a historic department store in Germany. Production designer Adam Stockhausen drew inspiration from Alpine ski resorts to create the whimsical, pastel-hued sets that transport viewers to a dreamlike world.
Filmed largely at the Palace of Versailles, "Marie Antoinette" showcases the opulence of 18th-century Rococo design. The lead actress, Kirsten Dunst, had to navigate the royal château with care, ensuring she didn't damage the priceless artifacts. The pastel hues and intricate details of the set design transport viewers to a bygone era of decadence and splendor.
The futuristic home of the eccentric tech-genius billionaire in "Ex Machina" is a masterclass in minimalist design. Featuring a rock feature wall, plenty of glass, lush greenery, and silk-and-steel furniture, the set creates a serene yet intriguing atmosphere. This blend of natural and man-made elements reflects the protagonist's dual nature—both grounded and detached from reality.
Based on the best-selling novel by E.L. James, "Fifty Shades of Grey" is a tale of passion and intrigue. The film's set design plays a crucial role in setting the mood, from the posh satin seats in Christian Grey's chambers to the eye-catching armoire that encapsulates the film's sensuality. These elements not only enhance the story but also provide inspiration for those looking to bring a touch of Hollywood glamour into their homes.
