There’s nothing quite like the Wes Anderson aesthetic – all pastel shades, patterned wallpaper and retro vibes, not to mention the symmetry and fine attention to detail his films are renowned for. Our recent conversation with his go-to set decorator Anna Pinnock – who worked on his latest film, The Phonecian Scheme – inspired us to give our own interiors a colourful revamp. So here are a few accent pieces we’ve got our eye on, from softly hued tableware to printed furniture, to bring a touch of Wes Anderson into your home...
The Glasses
With their chunky, curvy shape and powder pastel finish, these Gustaf Westman glasses are an ideal retro touch for your dinner table. They might be labelled as ‘beer glasses’, but they’re great for cocktails, a (generous) pour of wine or to make a soft drink feel special. €85, Gustaf Westman
The Coffee Table Book
Looking for inspiration? Turn to Wes Anderson: The Iconic Filmmaker & His Work, which is a comprehensive guide to his films and aesthetic. Lay it artfully on your coffee table for guests to flick through – partly to learn about Wes, but mostly so they can truly appreciate your new home aesthetic. £28, Urban Outfitters
The Chair
Update any room in an instant with this bright armchair from Emba Studio. It’s got everything: bold pattern, rich colour and a sculptural design – plus it’s made to mould to your body, so it’s comfy, too. £234.95, Emba Studio at The Masie
The Tablecloth
Bring a little of Wes Anderson’s offbeat humour to your interiors with this tablecloth, crafted from actual shirts – complete with buttons and collar in the centre. A not-so-subtle way to encourage a smart dress code at your next dinner party. £247, Gohar World at Coming Soon
The Mirror
Mustard yellow? Check. Curved design? Check. Whether perched atop a set of drawers or hung in your bathroom, this 1970s-style mirror will draw attention, no matter where you put it. £356, noo.ma
The Candlestick
Nothing elevates a dinner setting, mantlepiece or shelf quite like an elaborate candlestick. Tap into the retro vibe with this striped glass style, in the perfect shade of burnt orange. Just make sure to buy two, so you can position them accordingly for that classic Wes Anderson symmetry. £26 each, Anthropologie
The Lamp
If your interior update doesn’t quite stretch to new wallpaper (Wes is known for his love of printed walls, after all), channel the same vibe through this antique lamp – with a patterned base evocative of the style. £235, The Light Clinic at Maison Flaneur
The Candles
If you’re going to invest in some standout candlesticks, you’ll need candles to go with them. Matilda Goad’s tapered designs come in an array of pastel hues to bring a welcome flash of colour to any setting. £45 for six, Matilda Goad
The Jug
Shape and form are key to the Wes Anderson look – this Completedworks jug has been carefully handcrafted into a shapely ‘folded’ style, for an irreverent centrepiece that wouldn’t look out of place on one of his film sets. £265, Completedworks
