Among the many reasons to see Revolutionary Road — stellar performances, dark humor, a haunting story — I managed to find another: the stunning interiors inhabited by Frank and April Wheeler (played by Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet). Set in 1955, the movie, much like Mad Men, captures a bygone era with authentic pieces that still look oh-so-stylish.

I found myself coveting just about every chair in the Wheelers' living room, not to mention the adorable accents in their kitchen. The story may be tragic, but the decor is a delight. For my recommendations on how to get the look in your rooms, read more.
Both the formal living room and the more casual sitting area incorporate near-neutral tones with hints of pale color. I love the way everything coordinates but isn't too matchy-matchy; notice how the room above mixes pale and dark woods.

The kitchen is bright and clean, with white walls, blond cabinets, and pale blue pots. But a darker wooden dining table and round-backed chairs add an unexpected studiousness to the space.

Pretty bland...
1aimeeb: I definitely understand how this would look bland to most people but I love the simpleness of the 50s style decorating
2I go back and forth on my feelings towards midcentury modern, but somehow those screenshots really appeal to me. And I like how your product choices capture the style without being overly "retro".
3Love those paintings on the wall.
4I will have to see this movie just for the interiors.
5okay case, you take the furnishings and i'll take the man, lol.
6This is a great service! Easy as pie! I was contacted by a few contractors, got some pricing, and found one that gave me a great price.
