Design Your Own Movie Set! -- A How-To by Someone Like You
Have you ever wanted to live in your favorite movie or T.V. show? Ever think, “Wow, that living room/office/library is SO me!” Well, while we might not be able to recreate a specific set or scene, we can do one thing that all home décor lovers should be doing when watching the television: scanning the background.
Now, this may seem pretty easy in theory, but in practice, it is easy! You’ll find endless inspiration for your own space by watching how professional set designers decorate a set.
It took me a while to figure out what movies or shows include vast exposure of the books in the scenes, but I decided that I’d attempt to collect and pair a series of books we have in stock just to prove how easy recreating your favorite sets can be.
So, for my little experiment (as the book worm I am), I am going to pull books from our store and pair them into my best interpretation of the Harry Potter library we see in the movies. Let me show you!

Third, have fun with it! Place your books in any order or styling that comes to your liking.
This is such an easy and fun way to find inspiration to practice your own wizardry in home décor.
