win a copy of it’s complicated

itscomplicated dvd3 228x350 win a copy of its complicatedLife may be complicated for the characters played by Meryl Streep, Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin in Universal Studios’ hit film It’s Complicated, but when it comes to the movie’s design, there’s nothing complicated about it. Simple. Stunning. Gorgeous. If you’ve seen the movie, you, like many, may have fallen in love with the spectacular home that Meryl Streep’s character is renovating. No idea why she’s renovating — it’s perfect, if you ask me! Simple and rustic, the home instantly feels warm and welcoming. I want to pull up a seat at the kitchen table and cooking in that kitchen would be such a pleasure. Featuring lots of wicker, wood and stone, the natural approach to decor creates a look that’s homey, while the muted neutral colour palette makes colourful accessories pop against it.

decorating inspiration from movie sets

somethings gotta give decorating inspiration from movie sets
Decorating inspiration can be found anywhere and everywhere. Maybe the colour of a leaf catches your eye on the street. Maybe you’re inspired by the colour of a new sweater. Or perhaps the set of a movie totally captures your imagination. At Style at Home, we`ve found that our readers love movie sets and often draw inspiration from the details of some of their favourite films. We`ve also discovered that the movie Something`s Gotta Give has really made an impression! The breathtaking Hampton`s home that belongs to Diane Keaton`s character is full of beachy style, made oh-so-inviting through attention to detail, particularly the airy colour palettes throughout and the no-muss, no-fuss approach to decorating. Pictured above is the serene kitchen, whitewashed and wonderful, exuding a sense of both form and function. We picked some other movie sets we love and have provided some tips to help you bring the look home — check them out here! So, what movie set has made you swoon. Leave a comment — I want to know!
