Here are our pick of ideas and inspiration – featuring everything from block pastels to satisfyingly symmetrical styling – with easy tips and star pieces to buy, so that you can add a healthy dose of Wes Anderson style into any room in your house, whatever your budget.
Matching is kind of Wes's thing... so if you want to use pattern, stick to just one or two colours and pick out the same shades for walls, woodwork and accessories – like in this botanical green kitchen.

This sweet scalloped tray is available in three pastel colours – perfect for kitchen countertops or bedside tables.
Sugary shades are synonymous with Wes Anderson style. For the ultimate look, layer up walls and furniture in the same hue, like in this pink bathroom, or simply accessorise in pastel tones.

This soap dispenser looks way more luxe than its price tag would suggest, with sleek ceramic lines and a brushed gold dispenser. Matching accessories are available if you want the whole set!
Accessories are the easiest way to make yourself feel like you're in a Wes Anderson film: a specially selected pastel mug will turn morning tea into cinematic experience.

The playful Danish design of these mugs will elevate coffee time.
Look for furniture with gentle curves that are a nod to Art Nouveau, an era that influences Wes Anderson's signature style.

We're obsessed with this elegant cocktail chair, available in a selection of colours. Use it to add glamour to an unloved corner, or as the ultimate dressing table chair.
One or two antique-style statement pieces can inject a sense of grandeur worthy of even The Grand Budapest Hotel.

Who says opulence has to be pricey? This cut-glass chandelier is an absolute steal, and is compatible with dimmable bulbs.
Don't be afraid to go for deep, rich tones and embrace an opulent retro style. This decadent look is particularly well-suited to evening spaces, like living rooms and bedrooms.

For a striking look, use exclusively one colour throughout a room, but vary the shade and texture – like this elegant pistachio green bathroom.
This pure linen towel comes in six gorgeous shades for an easy update to coordinate with any scheme.
Group carefully chosen objects in complementary colour palettes to create Wes-worthy vignettes on shelves or in wall nooks.

Frame this print for instant character – some of the illustrations date from 1881.
Don't be afraid to mix bold shades – but stick to blocks of colour, like this stunning yellow Art Deco sofa topped with chunky striped cushions.

Chunky stripes are a fashion-forward look. This reversible cushion is made from cotton velvet and planet-friendly recycled polyster.
Symmetrical décor is a key element of Wes Anderson style. If you don't have pairs of items, position one piece of furniture or artwork centrally to create a sense of order.
Striped carpets (like this smart design from the Country Living Collection at Carpetright) and panelled walls will enhance the effect.
These dining chairs have a traditional look, with cotton canvas and linen seat pads.
Quirky pieces with unusual shapes add character and charm. To keep the look feeling Wes, paint furniture in colours from your chosen palette. Chalk paint is your friend here, as it doesn't require you to sand a surface first.
