What if Wes Anderson designed your house? His aesthetic is colourful, warm and inviting - perfect ingredients for beautiful home decor.
Live Like Wes focuses on the interior design and styling of classic Wes Anderson films and shows you how to apply it at home. The book is split into eight chapters, each based on an Anderson movie and the aesthetic styling it best exemplifies - Bohemian kitsch for The Royal Tenenbaums, cottage-core for Fantastic Mr Fox, pattern for The Darjeeling Limited, European Charm for The French Dispatch, whimsical for Moonrise Kingdom, Mid-Century Modern for Asteroid City, symmetry for The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and dopamine decor for The Grand Budapest Hotel. So whether you're in the market for a cottage-core kitchen straight out of Fantastic Mr Fox or you want to turn your dining room into a Mid-Century Modern masterpiece a la Asteroid City, there is something here no matter how deep you want to live your Wes fantasy.
With well-researched film analysis and practical advice on how to get the look, the book includes stunning photos from 30 international interior designers who have emanated the Anderson aesthetic - to perfection. Each chapter also includes an illustrated step-by-step project and a party plan inspired by a film. Knit yourself a Steve Zissou red beanie table favour and you'll be all set for The Life Aquatic lunch menu, complete with original negroni recipe, playlist and dream invite list. Of course David Attenborough is invited.
This beautiful book is perfect for fans of Accidentally Wes or anyone who would like to make that Wes magic last after the final credits.
