Something's Gotta Give House: Get The Look

So then, we've had our tour of the 

Something's Gotta Give house

...and now for the breakdown.

I mean breaking the decorative elements down. 

Not an emotional kind. 

Although I can quite see why that would happen upon leaving this beautiful film set. You wouldn't be the first and I'm sure you won't be the last. 

{I shall be passing tissues around.}

Here are some of the elements that I feel hold this house together perfectly. 

Yes, we're at that time when we talk about 

HOW TO GET THE LOOK!

First, let's peruse at the BIG picture, 

and then on Friday we can check out the little bitty details.

The first point HAS to be the harmonious colour scheme. Can you imagine stepping from one of these pale, softly-coloured rooms into a scarlet bedroom in this house? It just wouldn't happen. 

Here, Nancy Meyer has gone with:

white,

cream, 

blue, 

and brown.

Each room has a slightly different reworking of this range but all the rooms pick up on the different colours. 

Where's the blue in the dining room, I hear you cry?

Have you checked out the fabric on the chairs? See the little touches of blue?

Of course, within this tight palette, it's possible to include flashes of other colours...in the artwork, particularly.

The second BIG PICTURE point is consistency of style. Each room is decorated classically but with small nods to the beach location:

that stripy beach-towel rug,

the artwork on the walls,

the light and airy atmosphere.

Just perfect.

It doesn't matter what you're style is. But if you want to have a this feeling of gentle flow between rooms then try to stick to one style and one palette. Try it and see!

Thank you so much for reading.

Have a great day.
