PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The effect of Wes Anderson's films on the world of interior decorating "cannot be overstated," writes debut author Atkinson in her charming guide to drawing design inspiration from the director's movies. Anderson's sets are known for their bright colors and retro, hyper-stylized look, explains Atkinson, who draws decor inspiration from movies such as The Darjeeling Limited, The French Dispatch, and Moonrise Kingdom. Each chapter breaks down how to imitate an Anderson film's aesthetic in one's own home as well as in themed dinner parties and DIY projects. For readers hoping to recreate the charming cottage-core kitchen featured in Fantastic Mr. Fox, Atkinson recommends small tweaks, like hanging curtains under the sink and vintage country landscape paintings on the walls, as well as big projects, such as parquet wood flooring and Afghan rugs. To host a Grand Budapest Hotel–inspired dinner party, Atkinson recommends bringing out fancy glassware, fine china, and frilly, embroidered napkins, as well as serving an olive-roasted duck and "lashings of champagne." Instructions are included for DIY projects, like a gallery wall inspired by The Royal Tenenbaums, crocheted coasters inspired by The French Dispatch, and a condiment organizer inspired by Asteroid City. Pairing mesmerizing photography with creative how-tos, Atkinson captures the kitschy nostalgia that captivates Anderson fans. Design-minded cinephiles will be delighted.
