Loved Anne Hathaway's Home From The Idea Of You? Here's How To Recreate The Vibe

Of course, everyone recalls the living room from Solène and Hayes' (Nicholas Galitzine) first kiss. The vintage piano forte, the retro, tiled fireplace, and stacks of books piled in the back cabinet—every detail seems to belong in Solène's home. We liked how the hall was lined with cane and rattan furniture to give it that woody texture that is visible throughout the space due to the extensive use of different wood textures.

Think of adding cane and rattan furniture to bring the earthy wood effect. Check out our list here for brand reccos. See how that blue lamp brings an element of quirk and colour? Well, while we couldn’t find something similar, we feel this one from Pure Home + Living has the same vibe. Also, contrast is everything for recreating the vibes of this home. You can see velvet paired with cane furniture so don’t be shy of overdoing it and remember, it’s all in the details so accessorising with vases, books and other objects is the way to go!

Although there’s not much cooking in The Idea of You, the kitchen does take centre stage for our favourite fridge scene. To be honest, more than the objects, the look of it comes from the wooden structure of it. The production team had installed wood beams and completely redid the kitchen with custom wood cabinets, Craftsman-era tiles, and window panes.

While the look of the kitchen is all focused on woodwork, think of adding some small elements to lift the look of it. Like similar transparent vases (this one from Ikea is pretty similar). To bring out the antique or vintage vibes. We love how the kitchen has an open wooden cabinet which is stacked till the top (something Indian homes can definitely relate with) and looks quite nice. Additionally, a colourful patterned rug with motifs like this one can be added to the entryway to bring some character like what we can see in the image. Also, add a few plants for that refreshing colour effect that looks great against the wooden setting.

Just like the kitchen, we are the dining room in Anne’s character in The Idea Of You didn’t see much action but we honestly can’t help but notice how sync it is in with the home’s artistic yet arranged chaos theme. The floral ceiling lamp, the blue painted walls with eclectic artwork (since the protagonist is an artistic soul) and the depth brought by the velvet chairs, everything just matches with Solene’s creative yet ocean-deep personality.

Of course the dining table is wooden and features these stunning antique-looking candle stands (check out these for similar feels). The artwork at the back could be replaced with something a bit more relevant for Indian homes but all in all, a moody dining space like this one is always a welcome thought.

Be it stalking her boyfriend’s whereabouts on the internet or cuddling with him, Solene’s bedroom is apt for her eclectic but poised personality. The charm of the bedroom lies on those boho touches. The colourful throw featuring hues of reds and yellows and how the blue of the pillowcases matches the one featured on the hanging at the back. The boho vibes with the hanging at the back and mismatched cushion covers brings that boho vibe one picks on through the scenes of her home in the film.

The idea is simple, don’t be scared of colour and let the colourful soft furnishings take the lead. Lighting does play a huge part here so keep that it mind. The macrame yarn hanging on the wall is the centre of attention so let the focus be on the back wall of the bed.
