Best known for playing Salvatore Romano on
Mad Men,
Bryan Batt
not only has an adorable smile, but he actually owns a home decor store
with his partner, Tom Cianfichi! His place in New Orleans,
recently featured in Domaine Home (click
for the full feature), is resplendent with quirky pieces and bright
pops of color. If you’ve got plenty of travel souvenirs and no idea how
to display them, take a leaf out of Bryan’s book and learn how to
display every single piece beautifully.
Their
space was inspired by a treehouse – airy and spacious with plenty of
monochrome to balance out the color. They also like to take
traditionally feminine pieces and texture (like silk taffeta) and
masculinize them, with elements such as leather, rich hues, and
“tougher” aspects.

This bedroom may be the best one of all of the celebrity-inspired
Dormspiration posts thus far — the style is
so eclectic,
yet wonderfully cohesive. The gold ornate elements contrast beautifully
with the solid grey bedding and antique wooden trunk, and the rough
textures of the rug and bed frame look surprisingly cozy.
Channel their sleek style with a monochromatic, soft
gray bedding set, and place a
wooden trunk
(bonus points if it used to belong to a member of your family!) at the
foot of your bed or even underneath, to store extra blankets and sheets.
Elaborate golden accents can look a little out of place in a dorm room,
so compromise with a gorgeous
maple leaf night light that doubles as wall decor in the daytime. Finish the look with a patterned
gray rug and a cute
stuffed dog to accent your bed!
How gorgeous is that
Snow White
print above the fireplace?! It’s entirely unexpected, but still manages
to accent the room perfectly. With a style like Bryan’s, even the most
outlandish of souvenirs will look like it was destined to be put on
display.
For design like theirs, don’t focus too much on big statement
pieces–work on collecting unique objects, and they’ll all come together
to form a whole. Start with a
glass coffee table that doesn’t take up a lot of visual space, and fill the rest of the room with
gold-inspired pieces like this textured
pillow and a beautiful
jewelry tree. A
scalloped cake stand
doubles as a pedestal for a bust or any other trinket you want to
display, and tie it all together with (what else?) a Disney print–this
one features the famous Disney kisses of the ages!
What do you think?
Are
you a fan of Bryan and Tom’s eclectic, dressed-up style? What pieces
were your favorite? Does your style tend towards feminine, or do you
prefer the androgynous look? Any celebrity homes you’d like to see
featured?
