Movies with stylish interiors

Cinema interiors often go unnoticed. Often, unless it's a big production like The Great Gatsby or Marie Antoinette, no attention is paid to the overall design of the film. However, interiors play an important role. They are designed to feel truly cozy rather than camera-perfect.

In addition, their appearance can evoke a certain mood, which reflects the specific character of the film.

"The Great Gatsby", 2013

Baz Luhrmann is known for his opulent interiors, seen in Romeo and Juliet and Moulin Rouge, and his latest adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel won the Oscar for Best Design. Daisy Buchanan's living room, bathed in beautiful pink lighting with champagne accents, is a typical girl's living space.

Each room in the film has its own unique feel, and although the interiors are quite grand, they brilliantly capture the atmosphere of the Roaring Twenties.

"Gone Girl", 2014

Yes, we know Gone Girl is pretty dark, but other than that there are some great design moments to be seen here. The interior is laconic and simple, but at the same time cozy and practical.

"Ghost", 2010

Scandinavian chic. The apartment is flooded with sunlight that comes through the huge windows, framed by a view of absolute calm and serenity.Landscape tones flow seamlessly into the dramatic interior theme, and the use of natural textures unifies the indoor and outdoor spaces.

As evening approaches, soft artificial lighting appears in the house, adding coziness and comfort to the space. As for accents, here they are present in the form of paintings hung throughout the house.

"Atonement", 2007

The big screen adaptation of Ian McEwan's acclaimed novel exuded quintessential British charm. Intricate cornices, intricate chandeliers and floral designs were used extensively in the Tallis family's stately home and offered just the right amount of chintz without regard for the flamboyant base. Meanwhile, sweeping curtains and richly embroidered upholstery were lessons in old-school luxury.

"Loft", 2014

The film is a vivid example of what a loft-style interior should look like. Rough base, high ceilings, hanging lamps. This is exactly the direction where an abundance of metal, leather and glass is welcomed, and all this is ideally combined with paintings, partitions and neutral colors. In fact, a loft is a territory of bold decisions, imagination, comfort and at the same time coziness.

"Marie Antoinette", 2005

Marie Antoinette is a lesson in decadence, with many scenes filmed at Versailles. Gilded moldings, patterned wallpaper and maximalist embellishments cover every surface—nothing is left blank. This intoxicating set gives us a dreamy glimpse into the opulence of Marie Antoinette's world.

For those who want to immerse themselves in a real royal atmosphere, the film is a must-see. Everything here is chic - from outfits to furniture, hairstyles and curtains. The film uses luxurious scenery in the Rococo style, which is characterized by a “marshmallow-powdery” pretentiousness and shine.
Considering that the film tells about a continuous celebration of life, it is not surprising when on the screen you see an abundance of gold, crystal, marble, antiques, and luxurious furniture.

A Clockwork Orange, 1971

Pink and mint green is a color combination that will forever remain in Stanley Kubrick's classic. Beyond the vibrant hues that were synonymous with the Seventies, Mr. Alexander's modest, minimalist home, with its bookshelves as walls and large, statement pieces of art, was far ahead of its time.

Overall, the interiors of A Clockwork Orange may not be understood by many, but they definitely deserve attention as some of the most striking and impressive in cinema.

"Amelie", 2001

The classic French film offers many design ideas using rich colors and vintage-style details. It's quite difficult to create a red bedroom that feels more relaxing than sensual, but Amelie does it perfectly.

“You have a letter”, 1998

It's no surprise that one of the most beloved romantic comedies has interiors that evoke warm and cozy thoughts. Kathleen Kelly's bedroom in Nora Ephron's You've Got Mail! is a direct reflection of the character's pleasant and welcoming personality. Fans of shabby chic style will adore her entire Upper West Side apartment.
