Wes Anderson Style Home Decor

MyDomaine

Other than holiday classics and our favorite rom-coms, there are a handful of movies that we want to watch over and over—and Wes Anderson films always keep us coming back. From the charming childhood love story of Moonrise Kingdom to the wanderlust brotherly escapades of The Darjeeling Limited, the films reveal their own intricately curated universes, each quirkier than the next. Every scene is a feast for the eyes, and any interior designer could be astounded by the perfectly placed visual aspects featured in each film.

If you've ever wanted to incorporate the dreamy, eclectic aesthetic of Anderson's films into your space, know that it all starts with the story. Hand in hand with Anderson's love for nostalgia, have you noticed that his films all take place in time periods before the current day? As such, film set décor helps set the tone distinctly in the past. Working with past sensibilities, distinct color palettes, symmetry, and a bold commitment to each individual theme, Anderson's designs leave us awed and inspired with every scene.

Below, browse our favorite Wes Anderson décor picks to bring the filmmaker's artistic style into your own home.

Scalamandre Zebras Wallpaper

Scalamandre Zebras Wallpaper - Masai Red $Price Upon Request

A Wes Anderson film design is never without a whimsical color palette. You may have noticed Anderson's use of pattern, too: Like the classic Scalamandre zebra print wallpaper from The Royal Tenenbaums. This print brings its own bold, unique personality to each scene it's featured in.

When styling your space to complement new wallpapers, choose small accents throughout the room—like artwork, throw pillows, and minimal décor—that feature the statement color to tie your design together.
