Furniture Ideas from the Set of Nip/Tuck

Set Decorator on Nip/Tuck

Often we forget to look beyond the actors when watching television or movies and when we do we miss out on a lot of great style ideas. One of my absolute favorite shows to take ideas from has to be Nip/Tuck. The show, which follows the lives of two pretentious egomaniac plastic surgeons and their crazy mixed up friends and family, has been a style star in Hollywood for five seasons. This has largely been due to the shows Set Decorator, Emmy nominated Ellen Brill. Ellen started as an interior designer and received her degree from UCLA in 1991. Her first job out of School was working in the art department for an independent film which she was credited as the set decorator on. After the films completion Brill was offered the same position on another film and has been in the television and film industry ever since.

In her sets for Nip/Tuck Brill brings inspirations from several different periods but has shown an affinity for incorporating mid-century modernist pieces from the likes of Arne Jacobsen, George Nelson and the Eames’. In the images above Brill was tasked to create spaces that were to be home to the McNamara/Troy surgeon team’s new Las Angeles office. The Pacific Blue sofa’s are a great homage to the location as well as the two palm inspired sculptures. The chandeliers give of an ambient light which bounces of the wood paneled walls and gives the waiting room a sense of warmth. This is something not often found in real life waiting rooms. The image directly above is the set designed to be the home of the bachelor surgeons. One would think this space was to nice to be a bachelor pad but even that is addressed in the series, as Dr. Troy often meets with his Interior Designer.

This set is one of my favorites and if you look closely you might see that the arm chairs are actually the same arm chairs from the set above. This is the nice thing about set design, you are allowed to incorporate pieces from one set in order to meet the requirements of the scene. This can also be true to your home. Try switching out the arm chair in your bedroom with the one in your living room just to switch things up. I am also inspired by the amazing floor covering which can be achieved at home by purchasing a large piece of canvas from an art store and painting out a pattern similar to the one seen in the image. Then coat the canvas with a layer of sealant to protect from wear and tare.

These Images are a mix of different spaces from when the show was in it’s first couple of seasons. The style then reflected something more down to earth, with it’s natural tones and interiors. The space at the top was the office of Dr. Troy and featured a grouping of Arne Jacobsen’s Egg Chairs in a taupe tone. The bedroom shown belonged to Dr. McNamara and his wife. This is clear as the space looks shared and has a feminine touch as if Mrs. McNamara had decorated herself. Finally, we have the living room of Dr. Troy which has a cool tone that allows the viewer to appreciate the art in the space.

So if you are looking to add a little Nip/Tuck to your home here are some piece you might want to consider.

Nuevo - For Inspired Living

CorbinCeline

A furniture company for the new modernist. Sleek and chic, each piece of furniture in designed to fit into any modern environment. The Corbin chair shown above offers a comfortable seating option and an excellent design style. Perfect for your office lobby, living room, den, or as an accent chair in the bedroom.  A great option for the lap top user is the Dell side table (seen above). The table pulls up to any chair or sofa and slides under the bottom, so you can work on your laptop with ease. This is also a great table to use while entertaining. Perfect for cocktails and a dish of nuts this style is the modern update of the “tv tray.”

Bethany

One of my favorite things to do on a sunny summer afternoon is relax with a good book and a nice cold drink. The Bethany Arm Chair, above, is a great chair to kick back and relax in. Made of solid walnut and upholstered in black leather, which has been treated and is so comfortable and supple. This piece says high style but is offered at a great mid market price. Can you see yourself or your guest getting cozy in the Bethany arm chair? I know I do. It reminds me of a piece you might find in a home library or den. Where do you see the Bethany chair?

Nuevo has a variety of styles and collections ranging from classic modern to today’s contemporary. One of the more contemporary pieces is the Stephan Sofa, seen above top. This small scale piece is great for apartment or condo living. It’s also a great piece for those college students who are looking to furnish their first apartment. Sort of a classic through back, the Hermes Occasional Chair in white leather makes for a nice light weight chair that you can move around easy in the event of company. Light and airy is always a goal one tries to achieve in a modern interior and this chair will make it happen. My favorite dining table from Neuvo has to be the Victor. The tables black stone top and the tripod base are artistic and will add a sense of architectural style to your space.

Above: The Fresno Dining Table has great draftsman quality and style. The size is perfect for a six person dinner or offers a great alternative to a classic desk. Made of hard wood with turned legs this is a piece for all interiors. If you’re looking for stylish outdoor furniture Nuevo has several collections of woven pieces with soft cushions. The Low outdoor lounger fits to your form for maximum comfort and has a great sensual appearance that will make any one jealous.

Below: If you are looking to update, add or buy new lighting for your modern home Nuevo has an extensive collection of pendant lights, ceiling mounted pieces, floor and table lamps. Two of my favorite pendants are the Marina Pendant (below left) and Orba Pendant. (below right)

This is the Sin board at Harrington College of Design, Chicago. When you have no sleep and must meet project deadlines, letting your feelings out with chalk is much healthier than coffee and cigarettes.  One confession reads,  “I slept with my roommates fiance, 1 month before the wedding”. Yikes! You guys are bad!
