Decorator Jonathan Adler talks about how the sets in the classic film have inspired him the most and taught him the best decorating tricks.The ceramist and interior designer Jonathan Adler recently told The Wall Street Journal that he has been and continues to be most inspired by the fictional yet dazzling set decoration in the 1958 classic movie Auntie Mame. "When I first watched it, in college, what hit me was the gestalt of it: the life of fun and glamour that can be yours if you manage to claw your way to New York City," he says. "But the awe-inspiring sets are what continue to inspire me today."
We can definitely see Mame's lavish style in Adler's designs. And we especially love these two decorating tips from Adler: Use one high-style design piece as artwork in a space, such as a Pedro Friedeberg chair, and add flair to an area by filling a vase with peacock feathers. Very Mame indeed.
