Interior Trends: The Wes Anderson Effect

Last week I wrote about my interior trend predictions for 2020. It turned out either to have been a quite day or a very good post (Don’t answer that!) as some 17,000 people read it and it was the most visitors the blog has ever had in one day.

However, there is one exception to the trend of individuality that I picked up on in that post. And that, my friends, is Wes Anderson effect or, more specifically, the influence of The Grand Budapest Hotel.

I read a piece in the FT the other day about how he has become the single biggest influence on hotel design since the film was released in 2014. Think of the famous pink dining room at Sketch, of the Experimental hotels, the symmetry, the curves and, above all the current mania for all things pink and green. It started in the hotels yes but it has now found its way into shops  as well. And we all know that once that starts in the commercial sector it follows into our homes.
