I saw this book on display at my library, and I picked it up on a whim. Best whimsical choice I made this month!

This is an interior design guide, but more than that it is delightful and mesmerizing. The book has 8 chapters each based on a different Wes Anderson movie. The author explores each film in turn and looks at what makes it delightful, and how we can apply those principles to our own homes.

The author is very mindful of different living spaces (and that not all of us either live in house or own homes). Some suggestions might be "redo your wall with a zig-zagged complimentary color scheme for the upper half, and repaint the lower half" or the much simpler "get a bath rug that looks like a Persian carpet". There's ideas to dream big, but also ideas like framing meaningful ephemera or adding more ferns and palms or looking into getting "Bombay Deco" designs on Etsy. I really do appreciate the attention paid to more modest acomodations, since that is what I live in.

The book is richly photographed with examples NOT from the movies, to show what that sort of a style could look like in an ordinary (if well-decorated) home. I actually wrote a few pages in my notebook for ideas on how I plan to fix up my place, and I already started in one room.

Above all, this book is an inspiration and a delight. I got it on a whim and I read the whole thing in one day, cover-to-cover. I have no choice but to award this 5 stars.

Though I've only ever seen one of Anderson's films, I've always been a fan of his style. This book was a visual treat with a satisfying layout.

Any Wes Anderson movie set fan would appreciate an interior designers closer look at the decor details of his movies and ways to replicate the looks.
