We love her. We hate her. We can’t get enough of her. It’s the icon Meredith Blake! She is perhaps my favorite villain of all time, from one of my all-time-favorite movies The Parent Trap. If you know me, you know I love pop culture. I love talking about my favorite movies, shows and books. So, I thought it would be fun to do a series of fictional clients. Choosing my favorite characters from movies, shows and books and designing a room for them. Meredith Blake seemed like the perfect gal to kick things off!
I decided to design her living room with a very restrained color scheme. Just black, white and gold: her signature color palette. Meredith would never have children running around her home, messing things up (“First change I make is to send that two-faced little brat off to boarding school in Timbuktu.”), so form was more important than function. I wanted to give her classic pieces with clean lines, and a touch of glam. I knew we needed a large, floor-length mirror to check that her outfit is flawless. Her sofa has delicate and feminine details, perfect to perch on while sipping a martini with her perfect red manicure and plotting to get Nick Parker back.
Now, excuse me while I go rewatch The Parent Trap!
