Fabulous Wallpaper in HBO’s Gray Gardens

Lead by production designer Kalina Ivanov, HBO’s “Gray Gardens” features very catching, intersting wallpapers.  The famous Hamptons house was re-built on set in Canada, and the design team did not have much to work from, as there are very few records of Gray Gardens in its 1930’s prime.  Grounding her research in historic wallpaper samples, Ivanov combined Art Deco and Chinoiserie revival styles to create the interior.  She brilliantly creates a unique, elegant, fanciful decor that matches the personalities of the women who lived at Gray Gardens.  For more information, read this terrific interview with Ivanov.
