Let’s Go to the Movies!

Home and interior design inspiration comes from many sources. An oft-repeated piece of advice is to keep some sort of a file with inspiring images–pages ripped from magazines or photos you took of a house in a nearby neighborhood that speaks to you. Inspiration comes from many places though. And if you are a movie buff, why not mine those depths for your perfect home look?

Design*Sponge has an amazing recurring feature called “Living In” where they do just that. They take a film and based on scenes and the overall “feel” they come up with home objects (and the occasional clothing) that evoke the movie. Whether it’s the sunny Greek isle of Mamma Mia!, the New York of Annie Hall or even the fantastical Labyrinth, you’ll be amazed at how you can style your home to evoke your favorite movie.

Check it out and make sure to think about how your favorite films can influence your home design and inspiration. Don’t forget the popcorn!
