The Great Gatsby: Bohemian Chic
The film based on the famous Scott Fitzgerald’s novel “The Great Gatsby” was released in 2013. The film adaptation impressed the audience with its excellent cast, the scale of the shoot, and, of course, the incredible scenery.
The events of the film unfold in the 20s of the last century - in the era of jazz, revelry and glamor. The decorators managed to maximally convey the atmosphere of that time and show us the brilliant in every sense of the interior art deco style.
A characteristic craving for luxury, external beauty and gloss is embodied everywhere: the heroes are surrounded by elegant armchairs, massive leather sofas, crystal chandeliers, mirrored surfaces, textiles and finishes with unusual prints.
To reproduce this style in a modern apartment, you must adhere to the principles of eclecticism. In one interior you can combine various shapes, colors, textures and materials. To design a room in the Art Deco style, you can use oriental motifs, strict geometric ornaments, objects of art from different times, furniture from rare woods, bright color accents, velvet or silk textiles.
“Moscow does not believe in tears”: Soviet luxury
Choosing the right decoration and decor, you can go back to any era. Those who do not like the foreign glamor of the 20s can be inspired by domestic interiors in the spirit of a cult Soviet film "Moscow does not believe in tears".
A striking example of expensive Soviet luxury in the film is the apartment of Professor Tikhomirov. Here you can see massive carved furniture, carpets, lace napkins, parquet. Other traditional interior elements of the USSR are chandeliers with pendants, as well as display cabinets with porcelain sets and crystal vases.
If desired, this decor can be successfully integrated into modern apartments. It is not necessary to furnish the whole apartment in Soviet traditions. A set of restored retro armchairs, a round table made of natural wood, several small porcelain figurines or vintage posters will not overload the interior, they will only add a touch of nostalgic chic and emphasize the continuity of generations.

Consider the situation in the apartments belonging to the famous detective. In Holmes' home at 221b Baker Street, traditional classics and vintage coexist with modern decor elements.
On one side there is a fireplace, shelving with books, wallpaper with Victorian motifs, heavy curtains on the windows and other elements of English classics. Here you can see modern lamps, floor lamps, posters, design chair Le Corbusier. Every detail here is carefully selected and reflects the character and interests of the protagonist as much as possible.
To repeat the interior in the spirit of the famous Sherlock is elementary.

Cozy New York apartment Monica - The most recognizable location from the television series "Friends". Her unusual design became a cult and strongly influenced interior fashion, inspiring many designers to experiment.
For those who are tired of the classic decor, we offer to diversify the decor using some of the tricks used in the famous sitcom.

The fantastic blockbuster, which takes place on a spaceship, differs from other sci-fi films in its interiors - there is no traditional asceticism in the design of the spacecraft.
The ship's atmosphere combines beauty and functionality, but does not distract from the main plot. The work done by the production designer is impressive.

Some moviegoers are so inspired by their favorite films that they create an atmosphere that completely repeats their atmosphere.
Cafe based on the Grand Budapest Hotel
The paintings of the American director Wes Anderson are always original color and design solutions, easy surrealism, a unique setting of the frame. His approach to work is considered one of the most recognizable.
Many institutions in interior design often copy the surroundings of the works of a famous director. For example, the designers at Renesa Studios were inspired by the movie work “Hotel Grand Budapest” and created, based on it, a non-trivial cafe-bar “Pink Zebra” in one of the cities of India. A fairytale space in pink with strict symmetry of black and white lines causes aesthetic delight.

The interior of this dwelling is a modern interpretation of the austere style of the north from the television series Game of Thrones. Restrained colors and rich natural textures prevail here - lamps with forged elements, animal skins, massive wooden furniture, heavy metal accessories. The brutal interior is diluted with wicker elements, as well as textiles and carpets with oriental ornaments.
House for Potter Lovers
Everyone can plunge into the fantastic world of Harry Potter and live at Hogwarts. Fans set up apartments in the center of Edinburgh based on the adventure movie and rent them out for £ 150 per night.

Cafe in the spirit of the series "Twin Peaks"
In Vancouver, you can visit The Black Lodge, a theme bar restaurant inspired by the Twin Peaks television series. The owners of the cafe did the repair themselves. The characteristic direction here is set by tables made of wooden saw cuts and “Red Room” finishes.
Snow-white villa like an American Psycho’s
Patrick Bateman is the protagonist of the crime drama American Psycho. The apartment in which he lives has little resemblance to living space. Its interior conveys well the character and internal state of the hero. There are plain walls, white and black furniture of strict forms, leather chairs and a complete absence of unnecessary details.
The minimalist interior from the film was taken as the basis for the design of the villa, located in northern Reykjavik. The living room of this house exactly repeats the room of the protagonist, and in general, the atmosphere of the house is very similar to the American Psycho’s dwelling - the same severity of lines, monochrome and minimum details.

Tardis is a time machine in which the Doctor travels with his companions. Externally, the device looks like a blue police booth of a small size. But inside it, the space is much larger than it might seem from the outside.

Fans inspired by the authenticity of the series create similar interiors in their homes. Here, for example, the snow-white decoration of the rooms as in the episode “White Christmas”, but the sports hall in black shades, straight from the second series of “15 million merit”, or pink halftones in the decoration, reminiscent of the episode “Dive”, and bright neon lights - just like in San Junipero.
