Decorating Inspiration from Film Sets

Last night was Oscar Night. Here in Los Angeles, that's like Christmas, your birthday and Halloween all rolled into one. It got me thinking about the influence that film has on interior design.

A few years ago, I was a design consultant for Williams-Sonoma Home. That brand's style was highly influenced by Nancy Meyer's films, in particular the movie "Something's Gotta Give." I was lucky enough to work with Nancy to help her select a few items for her home. She told me that the first catalog Williams-Sonoma Home released included duplicates of her sets. She also gave credit to her designer, James Rudin.

Here are some photos of Nancy Meyer's film sets that you can use as inspiration for your own homes.
