The weird and wonderful world of Willy Wonka is back, with a new film starring none other than Timothée Chalamet as Willy himself (and Hugh Grant as an Oompa Loompa!). Out in theaters in the U.S. December 15, the newest installment inspired by Roald Dahl’s fantastical story follows how Willy Wonka himself—magician, inventor, and chocolatier extraordinaire—came to be.
The trailer promises a moving backstory and the innate whimsy of the Wonka world, but also a wealth of breathtaking sets that we can’t help but be inspired by. From city streets boasting grand architecture to the mechanical details of the chocolate factory’s beginnings, there’s so much to love—and to take back to your own home.
With a mindful mix of industrial and vintage design, plus touches of marble, lively hues, and playful lighting, you’ll feel like you found the last golden ticket. So, as Wonka says himself, “quiet up and listen down. Nope. Scratch that, reverse it”—here’s how satisfy your sweet tooth by channeling Wonka in every room of your house.
Everything in Wonka’s world is over the top, and that includes architecture—just about every set featured in the trailer is grand and awe-inspiring. People float high above the floor in a beautiful domed building after eating one of Wonka’s concoctions, and a bundle of balloons lift Wonka himself, pulling him across the town. None of these magical, marvelous stunts would be possible without extravagant sets.
Channel the Wonka atmosphere with lofty ceilings and statement architecture features—think wooden stairway banisters, ornate crown molding, and picture windows. These design elements will take your home design to the next level, having you feel like you’re living in Wonka’s fantastical world.
