20 Films to Watch Before Redesigning a House

When redesigning a room or a house, one must find the right inspiration to make the redecoration easier. And what better place to get inspiration than in movies where everything is perfectly designed to match the character in the story. And to make the choosing easier for homeowners, here are movie suggestions to watch and draw inspiration from.

First in the list is “The Devil Wears Prada” featuring Miranda Priestley’s chic home and office. The most notable interior design in the movie is Miranda’s gallery walls that show you can never have enough frames on your wall according to Elle Decor. This would be a great inspiration for anyone thinking of framing lots of photos on their wall.

Next is the movie "This is Where I Leave You" which Home Inspiration Ideas reports to feature a house that knows how to make colorful patterns and cheery interior look ideal for any person or family. The living room in the movie shows how such bright colors can make any space look welcoming yet still comfortable to the eyes.

Then for individuals who like a vintage feel to their house, they can watch "Amelie" for inspiration. The movie features how a vintage room with rich saturated colors should look like. The combination of a vintage look and the color red in a bedroom is not easy to pull-off but "Amelie" did a very good job with it. Another movie that features a beautiful interior design is "Under the Tuscan Sun" which is inspired by classic Italian villas. This would be a great inspiration for homes that don't have the luxury of good views on their windows because they can already see it through their walls.

Last but definitely not the least is "Eat Pray Love" that brings a more exotic and cool decor. This could be an ideal inspiration for beach and nature lovers, and wanderlusts without having to spend too much money. The house in the movie features wood, bamboos and mostly earthy colors.
