There is not only the pink of the Grand Budapest Hotel: the world of Wes Anderson is varied and colorful. But above all, fun to reinterpret!
The Internet is a wonderful place because there are things like Accidental Wes Anderson , a subreddit in which users from all over the world share the addresses of places that evoke the aesthetics of the director: from Hong Kong to Scotland, from Cuba to Lake Como, there are buildings, subways, swimming pools, hotels, even lighthouses, reminiscent of the films of Wes Anderson and that particular mood that characterizes its spaces. But what is that mood? And how to recreate it at home?
To understand it you have two ways: to look at all his films and take notes, or read below. And then you can look at all his films without having to take notes.
1. Stay away from fashion
The first fundamental rule of every Wes Anderson film, interior, costume or character is to be absolutely unique, far from any fashion or predefined style. So forget about the trends and just look for items that tell your story.
2. Have fun
You choose furniture that will smile at you no matter how kitschy it is. Think of the rather clumsy furniture in Moonrise Kingdom and that sense of disorder organized by Grandma's house. Don't you already feel comfortable?
3. Mix and match
Be eclectic, and buy the pieces little by little, combining different eras and styles: much of the charm of Grand Budapest Hotel comes from the combination of Art Nouveau and Art Deco style with vintage pieces.
4. Go for gold
Use the gold. The power of a gold leaf is incredible if you have to cover an old battered piece of furniture. And if you look carefully at most of Wes Anderson's interiors, you'll find a little shimmering detail.
5. Dare
Play with textures: colorful fabrics and eye-catching prints are very important to add personality to a room, would the train for Darjeeling have been the same without those blue brocades?
6. Attention to small things
We all remember Margot Tenenbaum for her accessories, zebra wallpaper and pink princess phone.
7. Ton sur ton
Use pastel tones, and combine them: the whole love story of Moonrise Kingdom takes place in khaki on khaki interiors, broken by glimpses of blue and yellow.
8. Team
If you're not sure how to arrange your furniture, rely on symmetry. Wes Anderson does it all the time in his shots!
