Wow! I feel like I just audited a great college design class. Loved it! Thanks so much.

You've never failed to impress and teach me something I always had in my mind, but you give it voice. Thank you! I love all your work and channels!

OMG !!! You’re blowing my mind right now. I just purchased a new construction home (Lennar 4/3/2) you are helping me with ideas to keep it from looking so cookie cutter from all the other homes in this subdivision. Thank you so much :)

I’m in love with this channel! Fascinating!

You're right. Scale is impressive, even in Jimmy's Rear Window apartment!

I'm a real old movie buff. I've used these design tricks my entire life resulting in homes that WOW family & friends. Now have a name for it--- Cinematic Design! It's workedin my glamorous apts., & homes from Contemporary to Classic. JR

Love, Love, LOVE this video ! Thank you SO MUCH Marina Coates - Mockingbird Lane. I've watched a LOT of You Tube videos [esp. but not solely on design ] & NEVER, EVER have I seen anything like YOUR VIDEOS. You take my breath away ;-) ! BRAVO !

Scale of the items is the key element.

Wow, thanks for this video! I love the interior of the old movie sets! I even love the women's fashion back then, like, the gowns and hats! Thanks, again!!

I really need to stop watching your channel ( I’m about hooked ) six hours in and still I’m absolutely fascinated

You've got it. I fell in love with the inn of White Christmas when I was a child. Then I fell in love with Astaire and Rogers's BWS- Big White Sets. I loe architectural elements and larger scale with less clutter. A challenge to do in a studio apartment.I started to realize that some of the reasons why I loved a movie was because I loved the sets. Thank you.

Love your TV home tours! These videos are equally amazing. I’ve always loved these movie sets, now I know why….the scale of everything.

Great video, learned so much! I first saw one of your Brady Bunch videos and got hooked on your channel from that, lol. So glad I subscribed 😊

Wonderful! So easy to do! People need to get over their 'fear factor', throw caution to the wind, really look at the space they are trying to fill and whip out that checkbook for just a few really juicy items! The rest can be purchased at Home Goods for cheap and Voila! You've now achieved that Hollywood Glam element for your home. Thanks for your wonderful, informative video.

Excellently presented representation of the reason why we all love cinematic homes. Can't wait for the next video

Good video. Enlightening. I had to laugh at the "small apartments." My house was built in 1954 in a working-class neighborhood. Nothing in the "small" apartments would fit in my house. These sets were built for the huge Hollywood soundstage.

This is stunning. I've been manipulated all these years, and I never knew it!!! Lol. But seriously, what I notice from an audience standpoint is that if these elements weren't scaled like they were, it would not notice the characters interacting with the space. It's so striking how imposing many of the fixtures are, but it totally makes the space work. I just bought a 1600 sq-ft townhouse about 6 months ago, and have had so much fun "nesting" and decorating. Because the downstairs living room is rather small, my first notion was to make the space appear larger by scaling up the main elements (tables, chairs, sofa) and then layering from the middle of the room back up against the walls. I don't know if this was a terribly good design move, and I quite discovered it by accident, but it seems to work. I found a very modern-looking sectional sofa I thought was going to be too big for the room, and I positioned it so that it's sort of its own island within the room. What happened was that it created a walkway behind the sofa which leads to the downstairs powder room (which I think is an ugly decision to have in sight in the middle of your living room, but whatever). So the huge sectional in this small room has actually created a cozy feeling, rather than the space feeling cavernous. Then what I did was I bought a sofa table to put in the walkway just behind the sofa where I can put big plants and whatever in order to take the focus off the ugly powder room door behind the sectional sofa. Also found two huge lanterns I put on opposite sides of my fireplace, and different elevations (one on the floor, and one on a small table) - again, I thought they were going to weigh down the space, but I've found they add so much character and drama to the room without making it feel cramped. My upstairs lounge is next. It's smaller than the living room, so I'm having a lot of fun with it in terms of playing with the scale and figuring out how I want the space to feel. I've lived here for months, and I'm still nowhere near getting this place finished - not sure I even want to actually finish! It's so much fun browsing through the Homegoods store and Tuesday Morning, and when I discover something that fits the house perfectly, I snag it. Anyway, sorry to write a book. This stuff is so much fun. I enjoy making discoveries with how TV homes are decorated and elevated, all the tricks they play with our eyes. It's a lot of fun to also incorporate those discoveries into my own home, even though I really don't know what I'm doing. LOL! Thank you for this video, it's great!!!

Love this! I could watch you for hours and learn a lot from your expertise.

I just found your channel and I'm really loving it! Just subscribed and catching up on all you videos. Thanks for doing these!

I really like the way you use computer graphics to do the before and after comparisons! It made me realize that I already have used a sense of scale in furnishing my condo. To break up the open floor plan, I positioned the sofa lengthwise as a room divider to separate the dining area from the living area. And, yes, I have bookcases on one wall and an entertainment center on another, which add interest to those walls and reduce the large scale of the room. So a very thought provoking video! Thank you!

The a Studio apartment in Rear Window would cost $2,500-$2,800 per month now. One of my favorite interiors is in Auntie Mame. The decoration changes several times and Is period accurate-beautiful sets and coordinating costumes.

This is SO INTERESTING! I never realized these factors. THANK YOU, very, VERY much!

Love this episode!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Thank you, have always loved movie homes. I can now look at them with from a different perspective.

I'm so impressed by your insight and presentation! Thank you for putting this all together :)

Please please please do the von trapp villa from sound of music!

I LOVE the sound of your voice... and these GREAT design tips and illustrations, too!!!

I am obsessed with the architectural residence from the movie, "Mr Peabody and the mermaid" !!! The water feature and courtyard are the stuff of many of my daydreams! The natural setting is beautiful! The 1940's style interiors are my favorite period for design! The second story exterior balcony is a fascinating concept! Can you do an analysis of this cinematic creation please? Is it a real place? I'm crazy in love with it!!!

This is such a great channel.

Great video! Please keep making this type of content.

Such an informative episode, now I will be watching for things like this when I watch movies.. looking forward to next weeks episode to hear more about the architectural design used in movies.... thanks for these awesome videos!

Amazing Excited to see more congratulations see you next time

I love your channel you are so talented 🙋💕

Some tv homes changed floor plans during the run of their series, example both Andy Taylor’s house and sheriff office, as well as the Stevens’ house on Bewitched to name a couple, don’t get me started on the Cunningham’s Happy Day’s house. So, how do you decide which floor plan to use when they differ?

Marina, you’re my spirit animal!

Please consider the beautiful house in the 1945 film, Christmas in Connecticut. I would love to see the layout, floor plan and even do a walk through, just as you had done for the Brady Bunch house. The design in the house is beautiful. The Sloan farmhouse is my favorite. The fictional owner in the film is an architect who designed it. All fictional of course. Thank you in advance for considering this lovely house.

I learned a lot from this!

I love This, The Sixties decor, is my favorite, do you have any input that I can recreate that era

Great episode Marina!! Was going to ask you if rooms in the sitcoms that you've done are scaled larger to accommodate film crews .The show's rooms appear to me to be smaller .Do your mockups show actual room size? 😎

Is there something wrong with my taste since I prefer the smaller fireplace to the the full wall fireplace in your first computer comparison? I guess after watching the end, I personally don't like full wall stonework for fireplaces. It looks dated to me, but I do think large fireplaces and large mantles look nice.

My all time favorite movie home is the one Tony Curtis lives in , in "How to Murder Your wife". I have wanted to live there my entire life.

I'm thinking you remind me of someone, maybe Ree Drummond?

The constant background music is distracting.

There is nothing expressive these days.
