How to get the look of Big Little Lies homes

How to make your abode look like a Monterey show home.

Fans of Big Little Lies will be getting very excited about the season 2 premiere on Foxtel, 9 June and what better way to live like your fave BLL character than by recreating their home! 

While most of the real estate is way out of our price range, online interior design startup Modsy has drawn on Celeste, Renata, Madeline, and Bonnie’s styles to show you how you can revamp your interiors, Monterey style.

Cool, Calm and Collected

When it comes to recreating your lounge room with a Celeste vibe, you want it to look effortless and comfortable.

But, rest assured, just like the poised persona played by Nicole Kidman, every detail is expertly curated.

Adding Connectivity art from Minted is the focal point. The organic movement of the shapes and lines, as well as the deep blue colour, are reminiscent of the ocean and its depths (you never know what lies under the surface, just like Perry and Celeste’s relationship).

In the bedroom, the Drake Chair 1/2 Key Largo helps add an inviting feel to the otherwise minimal room.

Central Piece

Madeline (Reese Witherspoon) loves being at the centre of the town’s dealings and the same can be said for her interiors style.

She’d love this Teardrops Capiz Chandelier in her bedroom paired with deep lustrous velvets, high-contrast prints, and plush fabrics.

This is a perfect bedroom for the gossip queen of Monterey.

Coastal Chic

The wicker, coastal blues and natural light create a lounge room Madeleiine would happily spread little lies from.

And the piano is perfect for her husband, Ed Mackenzie, to practice his Elvis impersonation.

You can recreate this whole look with pieces available at Modsy.

High End Luxe

To replicate the interior style that Renata (Laura Dern), the cool headed CEO would love, keep the lighting low and the lines clean. 

After a hard day of killing it in the corporate world, her bedroom needs to soothe her professional persona.

The Frame Canopy bed from CB2 is uber-sophistacated (like her) and is where she could come up with her best-laid plans for revenge on anyone who dares to cross her.

Subtle Statement

Renata knows how to keep her cards close to her chest but she does have a quirky side. You can add a sprinkle of depth to an otherwise neutral room with the Miley Chair from Anthropologie. The rust velvet contrasted with sleek black metal frame says quality all round.

Bohemian Rhapsody

Bonnie, played by Zoe Kravitz has that elegant, spiritual essence that makes her so enigmatic, and her home would mirror her values of being open and free.

She’d likely love The Tanja Trunk from Anthropologie in her bedroom. The distressed wood and Moroccan print add the perfect eclectic touch. Plus, it’s a sizable trunk where you can hide all your secrets.

Vibrant Zen

With her daily yoga and meditation practice, Bonnie needs a neat lounge room that doesn’t remind her of her boyfriend James’ obsessively perfect ex – Madeleine.

The Layla Blue rug from Bhawan Textiles in the living room adds a Moroccan tone that works in almost any space and suits Bonnie’s naturally exotic style. A well placed free standing mirror reflects the light and the mixed colours and shades create a layered look you can adapt in almost any room.
