Hello from Sunset Home & Design,

Movies and TV shows have inspired interior design choices for a long time. Who doesn’t want their home to look like a Nancy Meyers film come to life? Wes Anderson’s playful and colorful film sets have inspired people to bring that iconic, quirky look home. And I’m sure purple living rooms have become more commonplace thanks to Friends.

For this kitchen in Vashon Island, Washington, the inspiration was the Hulu TV show Only Murders in the Building (which stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez).

“The clients aimed for a lighter, more modern, and playful kitchen,” explains Rachel Waldron of Waldron Designs. “They emphasized the importance of vibrant flooring and drew inspiration from a kitchen in Only Murders in the Building. The vision was to create a space that was light and airy yet sophisticated and swanky, combining modern aesthetics with a touch of playfulness.”

See what Rachel and team did to the formerly dark and nonfunctional kitchen here.

Live well,
