To repeat in an elementary way: 5 details in the interior that will help you make the living room, as in the Sherlock series
The series "Sherlock" from the BBC fell in love with viewers around the world. People admire not only the brilliant work of the consulting detective, but also pay attention to the little things that make up his life. An important role in this series was played by the place where most of the investigations took place - the living room of apartment 221-B on Baker Street. Some even wondered if it was possible to outwardly bring their housing to Mrs. Hudson's apartment. Here are some tips for transforming your living space so that it looks like the living room where Sherlock and John live.
Fireplace area
On the TV screen we see a real fireplace with live fire. Not everyone can afford to put such a fireplace in an apartment, so it can be made decorative. A good option is an electrical imitation with a flame image. It does not give heat, but allows you to bring an atmosphere of comfort to the room. Of course, it should be equipped with a mantelpiece, where on normal days Sherlock’s accumulate bills for an apartment and dust that he wasn’t used to wiping.
Life hack to instantly create the atmosphere of the series: turn off the light and deploy two chairs with high backs to the TV screen, where a screensaver with burning logs is pre-set. You can discuss the open case or play the violin. By the way, do not forget about the embodiment of English comfort - a checkered woolen plaid.
Dark wallpaper with a large pattern
Victorian or Gothic items
In addition to Victorian wallpapers, you can search for gloomy, but beautiful little things. On the walls we see a blue poster with a skull, a black bison skull, a human skull on a mantelpiece, which Holmes spoke to before he made a living friend. Of course, no one forces you to look for real bones, because in our time it is quite easy to find sculptures.
A mixture of old and new
The creators of the series wanted to emphasize that they transferred the action of Arthur Conan Doyle's books to the 21st century, and traditions here are combined with new fashion trends. So, for example, at the entrance to the room there is a real chair of the 19th century, and the chairs of Sherlock and John are modern. In the style of English aristocrats, Holmes holds many old books in the living room, while working on a modern laptop of a recognized company. A vintage rug is adjacent to an expensive leather sofa and lamps from Ikea. And if there are no problems with the latter, then getting antiques is not an easy task.
Speaking of lamps: in the series almost no overhead lighting is visible, only numerous lamps at the level of the head with a dull dull light.
Hooligan details
Despite the fragility and high cost of some interior items, Sherlock behaves as if he does not care about things around, because he is only interested in ideas. Hence, such additions to the decoration of the room as headphones, hoisted on a horned skull. Or a smiley painted with yellow spray paint right on expensive wallpaper. The detective then fired a pistol at him. So, if you want to fully penetrate the spirit of the BBC series and make “halls of the mind” out of your room, pay attention to such trifles.
