- Learn how to choose wall art for your home. We'll take a bit of a design course in that subject from the cinema. They have learned how to choose wall art to create a mood and tell a story of the people who live there. They are masters at it! Let's learn from their expertise to do the same in your home. Of all the design shows to watch - this is the one that takes us to the cinema to learn from the Masters of Design!
We'll go over how to choose wall art size, placement, color and subject matter and how to choose your own art style. But, not only that but what the effects are with the different art you choose. We'll even cover the topic of metaphor in art and how it can add layers of depth to your room. I'll also have tips on how to get art on a budget.
The Cinematically Inspired Design series is for everyone. You'll be learning interior design basics, but there is also in-depth information, as if you took an interior design online course - for free. This course is for those who are interested in learning interior design for beginners. But, there is plenty here for the professional as well.

This video is absolutely amazing. We’ve been having difficulties with artwork in our home since buying 3 years. We’ve gone through multiple changes and it’s led me down an art history rabbit hole. Since then, we’ve chosen to stop grabbing meaningless decor and choose from a pallet of timeless elements. This video gives me elements to study and really make our home represent us. Thank you for this!
That's great. Glad it helped. 😊
So well done Marina!! I have been able to create such a beautiful ambiance in my home, so comfortable for me and my family, all through using your concepts.
Thank you for taking the time to share that 💓
This is very well done thank you 😊
This is fantastic! This whole channel is so cool. I have always been interested in theater design and interior design. Along with architectural design. You doba wonderful job sharing all of this information! If this were all on DVD I would buy it. Or, even an online design course for self enrichment. Cool cool cool.
Thank you! Seems like we share similar passions. Glad you are enjoying the series.
In the movie Walking barefoot in the park, I found that apartment so boring because all the walls were painted a boring gray color. But I did notice that a lot of color was used in the decorative pieces which after watching this video, tells me that the colors represent Jane Fonda’s character’s free spirited personality.
Oh my. I love that interpretation. It makes sense. She's cooped up in that apartment, but she herself is a free spirit. Makes me want to watch it again. It's been awhile.
Love your channel so much! Greatly appreciate all the work that goes into it. Thank you.
Thank you! It's comments like this that keep me going. 😊
Dear Marina, thank you for using my comment for your intro. What a complement. 🌹
I loved the question. And if one person asks, several are thinking it. Hope the episode helped explain it.
X🌹
Dear Marina, yes I understood the concept of filling in the blanks with the artwork, and how it can be adapted to the home. Very interesting. X
What about the homes in the 1968 movie “Yours, Mine, and Ours”, with Lucille Ball and Henry Fonda? I love many of the elements found in those sets!
I loved that too. I'll have to add it to my arsenal 💗
Very interesting to know. Studio designs mentioned in this video are no doubt so detailed. Great work.
Thank you. I'm glad you liked this episode.
wow, very comprehensive, have to watch it a few times. congratulations on an amazing presentation! LOOOOOooooved the Bradey remodel, as well. Sirk is the gift that keeps on givin'; thank you for including! Fascinating
Thank you.
Thank you.
Marina, You are just fabulous, doing great job, bringing the hidden beauty from movies and shows. Majority focuses on characters and scene while watching movies but there is beyond something to see into each frame on screen. You are bringing that to us and I really love this to watch and understand the thoughts, artistic appeoach behind those sets. Thank you and keep doing great work👍❤️
Thank you so much. Glad you're enjoying these. In case you're interested, here is a link to my website where I have all of the Cinematically Inspired Design episodes together. Makes them easier to find:

If I might make a suggestion from a framing technique you pointed out, for those who have produced artworks over the years and think they are unworthy of display. Use the same kind of frame, in different sizes and mats, for works that have evolved over the different stages of life so they coordinate. I buy the same plain frame of classic lines from an arts supply catalog in gold, gold speckle, silver, silver speckled, and bronze. They also come in black or white. All my work, no matter what the sage of development or evolution of style, will work in one of them. I keep the rooms neutral enough to take any of them and introduce accents to the room based on the works I place in them. Talk about making a person feel at home in your space.
LOVE this!
This comment has dissolved me into tears. Thank you.
@@karengerber8390 I should have included not to be afraid to crop a work down to a corrected picture plane. Quite often beginner work, and even advanced, gets lost in the dimensions of the paper, or canvas, it was produced on, making it lose context. We look at a drawing in the middle of all that paper and say that's terrible. When in reality, all that extra paper is out of place. Don't make the frame fit the artwork. Make the artwork fit what looks right. I had an adult student that produced ok work. She had the technique down. But they were all lost in the middle of the paper they were drawn on, or were off center. When I had her crop them all down to just what she was focused on, they took on a WOW factor. She even cropped a couple down to just the parts of the drawing she liked and cut out what she didn't like. With balance, they went from mediocre subject matter to point of intense interest. Her frustrations and inconfidence evaporated. Just a suggestion.
Brilliantly done!
Thank you! I'm working on episode 7 now. We'll be exploring some of the design techniques in the newly released movie, Emma. The set design is delicious!
Hi, Marina! Have just finished watching Episode 6 about art in the cinema. I have a question. I love photography and have a lot of my photographs on my walls. I also have tables full of family photos, from years gone by. WAY back. Great, great, grandparents, and beyond. I'm proud of them all. When friends come over, they tell me I have too many photos of my family around. Some of them are even on an antique table that belonged to my great, great, grandparents. I enjoy having the photos both on the wall and tables. But, may my friends be right-I have too many all over? I was always told to go with what I like-and all of the photos are either those that I've taken or family treasures. But, can there be too many-so that it's not something that someone notices-just in their background? Thanks! Love your episodes! Jane Phillips
I think first and foremost a home should reflect the people who live there. It should be a place they love to be. Good set design is all about that. It isn't showcasing the latest trends or just creating a "really cool" room. Good design helps tell the story of the people who live there. You love photography. You are all about family, past and present. It sounds like that is reflected in your home. It sounds like you are very happy with it that way. Design isn't about pleasing others, or giving them what they expect. It's about creating a place where you feel you belong and a place that tells your story. As I read your comment, the apartment in Rear Window came to mind. It is one of the classic examples of good set design. And, what do we see in Jeff's apartment? Photographs all over his walls and shelves. He is a photographer and his walls are showing things he's proud of - the photographs from his many adventures. Seems similar to what you have created in your home, but your frames hold what you treasure - your family.
@@MarinaCoatesMockingbirdLane Thanks, so much, for your thoughts, Marina. I feel so much better knowing my home reflects what I love-photography and family. At first, when friends said I had too many photos, I was really believing them. Now, that I've read your response, YOU ARE SO RIGHT. I live alone--except for a cat! (Photos of him, too)! I DO feel more comfortable with that part of my home decorating, thanks to you. I never thought of it as being a two step feeling--my photography AND my family, until you brought it to my attention. Do you know what one of my favorite movies is? Rear Window. Maybe because of the photography-I never realized it, until you used it as a suggestion for the photos he has, because he loves photography. If someone thinks I have too many photos, they can think that-I just won't believe it anymore! Thanks, again! Jane
Love set of pillows talk furniture and artwork Colors pick out
I love that apartment so much. I wish we'd gotten to see behind the curved wall. That mist be where the kitchen is.
That was very interesting. I am looking for a painting or mirror for my dining room to go over a sideboard. About to pull my hair out.
May take you up on looking for something to print.
I'm currently staging my home to sell and again that was my go-to. That way I got exactly what I wanted int he size I needed. Hope it works for you.
As an attrition , I appreciate this so much. People are afraid to put things on their walls now. So much gray and empty walls .....I like clean lines but homes are missing personality these days.
Wise words from an artist 💕
This is going to be a grand request, but can you do Nefertari's palace bedroom in "The Ten Commandments"? I always wanted to replicate it :)
Well, I'll check it out. I have a long list of TV and movie homes I want to get to. In case you happened to love the Bewitched home - I just finished a new, much improved tour of the Bewitched home. And, I am currently working on Part 2 - the upstairs and backyard of the Bewitched home. Then, it's on to the original Parent Trap ranch house I started awhile ago. This year, I plan to get these homes done: The Partridge Family, I Dream of Jeannie, The Monkees, Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley. You can see all of the other TV and movie homes I’ve finished here: th-cam.com/users/MarinaCoavideos?view_as=subscriber
The interiors of the 1963 version of “The Haunting” create a feeling of lush Victorian comfort, in sharp contrast to the storyline, which keeps the characters off-balance and confused. The fact that the movie was shot in black-and-white adds to the sharp contrast of background to story.
I love hearing insights like this. I'm going to have to watch that movie.
Marina Coates - Mockingbird Lane - Hope you do. The exteriors were shot at a hotel in England that’s still in existence. Robert Wise directed it and used a newly developed 30mm Panavision lens that created an eerie distortion for filming. As you can probably tell, it’s one of my favorite movies. I wish they could have saved the sets
Can you do the House from Family/Sada Thompson from the 70s Please? That was a Big House.
I plan on it, someday. I love that home. I have a long list. I am currently working on Part 2 - the upstairs and backyard of the Bewitched home. Then, it's on to the original Parent Trap ranch house I started awhile ago. This year, I plan to get these homes done: The Partridge Family, I Dream of Jeannie, The Monkees, Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley.

The only thing I like on my walls are various photos of my cats. 🐱
The set design in Rescue me has a lot of fire and water references.
Thanks, I'll check it out.
I’m not sure if you’re familiar with it, but I’d give a limb to see your take on Grayson Manor from the ABC hit Show “Revenge” It’s my favorite tv home and dream home!! ❤️
I'm not familiar with it. But, I'll check it out. Admittedly, I have a long list. By the way, I noticed your last name is Grayson, like the manor. If you ever built it, you'd be able to properly name it 😊
Marina Coates - Mockingbird Lane you’re correct! I actually legally changed my last name after the Manor’s mistress, Victoria! She’s my favorite character of all time. So when choosing my last name, it was only fitting. 🙌🏼
I got tired of the music after four minutes. I saw it was the same music 15 minutes in. Personally music needs breaks -- space - the listener needs time to breathe.
