Blair Waldorf Dining Room
There's more to draw out from the TV show Gossip Girl, other than their over-the-top fashion. One of the many things I've noticed about my favorite TV show is that they have a beautiful, elegant set full of one of my favorite exquisite furnitures. Here are several things that I've noticed over the past 4 seasons of Gossip Girl's set interior.
First, here is Serena's Penthouse in Manhattan.
As you've probably noticed in this picture, Serena's house is basically based on a modern, yet chic style. Her house sort of reminds me of the themes and designs from the designer Jonathan Adler. In the living room, chairs and coaches have some tribal touches, like the lounge chair and ottoman you see below.
The Eames Lounge Chair upholstered with Missoni fabric!
As you see in the picture above, I was surprised to find out how theCW invests on a lot of high-end furnitures in the set. Seen on the picture above, the chair in which Dan is sitting on is the Eames Lounge Chair and Ottoman, designed by Charles and Ray Eames, and manufactured by Vitra. Does that print on the chair look familiar? It's a Missoni print!!! Seriously, this is when best meets best! A chair designed by my favorite designer AND upholstered in the most beautiful pattern!!!
Some of the things that I've personally noticed from Serena's penthouse was the wall lamp from my favorite lighting brand, Artemide, kitchen from my favorite kitchen brand, Varenna Poliform, lamp from Kartell, and the renownedCherner Chairs in her dining room.

Now, moving on to Blair's Penthouse!
As you see above, the overall ambience of Blair's penthouse is quite different from that of Serena's. While Serena's penhouse had more of a modern look, Blair's penthouse is all about the classy, elegant Parisienne style! The two contrasting interiors of the houses also matches the personality of Blair, who is more conservative and all about classics, while Serena has a modern taste and a free, and out-going personality!

In the above picture, I was overwhelmed to see my FAVORITE CHAIR, theEgg Chair byArne Jacobsen Fritz Hansen. TheEgg Chair can be upholstered in different fabrics, such as the leather one in Blair's house or wool.
Cushioned Louis Ghost Chairs!!
What I love about Blair's house are these gorgeousLouis Ghost Chairs designed by Philip Starck and manufactured by Kartell. Looks different from the ordinary Louis Ghost chairs you've seen? Yes, they are specially cushioned just for the set. I think the cushion adds a touch of elegance and the antiqueness to this more modern chair!

As the characters of Gossip Girl are quite aware of the high-fashion, I found that the set also had some influences from some of the widely renowned European fashion houses.
Blair's Room
Lanvin shopping bag
First of all, I thought Blair's beautiful French-chic room was inspired by the colors of the fashion brandLanvin. Doesn't the wall papers sort of remind you of their boxes and shopping bags? I just adore the decor of her room, including the Audrey Hepburn picture hanging on her wall, silk bedding, the molding, and the fairy-tale chiffon curtains!!! Once again, her room totally reflects her style and personality!
Serena's new room at Blair's house
Another example of a high-fashion brand inspired interior design in Gossip Girl can be found in Serena's new room this season that is adjacent to Blair's room. The butterfly swirl on her wall is very similar to the artist Andrea Mastrovito's installation in the Dior Homme Store in Paris, shown below.

Thanks for reading this long post everyone! It was enjoyable combining two of my favorite interests, interior design and tv show, Gossip Girl. As these are information that I've noticed from watching all 4 seasons of Gossip Girl and having a major interest in interior design, I assure you that 100% of these ideas on this post come from my brain, not from the internet. So please, do not use these precious ideas from my blog without permission. But, of course, you are totally welcomed to post my link on any other websites! : )
