The world of fashion and interior design may seem like polar opposites.
However, the unflattering costumes in “It Ends With Us” offer a bizarre yet fascinating exploration of how maximalism can be successfully reinterpreted within the realm of home aesthetics.
By examining each costume’s chaotic elements and applying their essence to interior spaces, we unveil a brilliantly vibrant narrative woven into the fabric of our living environments.
Here are 10 costumes, alongside their transformative interior counterparts, that illustrate how they can inspire bold, expressive design choices.
1. The Blue Coat and Red Boots Ensemble
A vivid blue coat with a fluffy fur collar paired with a patterned shirt, classic jeans, and striking red boots represents a baffling mix of colors and textures.
The blue coat’s sharp hue competes with the loudness of the red boots, while the busy patterns of the shirt clash rather than harmonize.
1.1. The Blue Coat and Red Boots Ensemble
Translating this look into an interior space yields striking results: imagine a cobalt blue accent wall complemented by a plush fur throw or pillows.
Layered textiles, such as patterned curtains or a striking area rug, create visual chaos, while pops of red in decorative items—like vases or artwork—bring the energy of the boots into the room.
Here, maximalism thrives in a space that feels alive and dynamic, despite the initial disarray.
2. A Pink Palette with Brown Accents
The brown skirt and shoes, paired with a soft pink t-shirt and a hot pink cardigan, represent a perplexing color palette.
While brown grounds the look, the pinks clash in a way that leads us to question the choices made.
2.1. A Pink Palette with Brown Accents
For the interiors, a mix of warm browns in furniture pieces (think wood finishes) is partnered with bold pink walls or accents.
A bright pink couch, juxtaposed against a neutral brown side table, creates a lively living space, inviting experimentation through patterned cushions and abstract art.
The disjointedness of the outfit translates beautifully into a warm sanctuary that is unapologetically bold.
3. Casual Flannel Layering
Boyfriend jeans paired with an oversized flannel shirt result in a relaxed, albeit uninspired outfit.
The preference for comfort over style yields a mundane combination that lacks direction.
3.1. Casual Flannel Layering
In interiors, this look transforms into a cozy retreat, pairing soft flannel throw pillows with strong colors of the sofas.
The boyfriend jeans become an invitation for a variety of textures and patterns around the room, along with artfully arranged potted plants.
The result is a layered, inviting space that speaks to the comforting chaos of everyday life.
4. Bold Layering with Contrasting Pieces
The peculiar pairing of blue jeans underneath mustard yellow pants, topped with a black crop-top and a boxy yellow leather jacket, captures a clashing maximalist concept.
It’s full of contradictory elements and borderline insane.
4.1. Bold Layering with Contrasting Pieces
Emulating this ensemble in interior design could mean layering a stunning mustard-yellow couch with bold, mixed-pattern cushions in dark hues, inspired by a crop top’s edgy appeal.
A collection of urban-inspired art pieces, hung in a gallery style, brings together contrasting colors that boldly tout a maximalist aesthetic while still feeling cohesive.
5. Oversized Beige Practicality
Huge beige overalls paired with a blue patterned shirt and red heels form a baffling outfit.
It’s whimsical yet overwhelming—sort of a uniform gone awry.
5.1. Oversized Beige Practicality
Bringing this design to life involves choosing oversized furniture that makes a statement.
For instance, a chunky beige sofa paired with vivid blue weighted curtains to comprise the attire’s structured look.
Opting for vibrant red decor pieces, perhaps a large art piece or abstract sculpture, punctuates the space, making it bold and eclectic, yet anchored in its oversized approach.
6. Brown Dress with Sheer Accents
A brown dress combined with brown boots and a sheer yellow shirt creates a combination that leaves much to be desired.
A muddy, uninspiring palette is strikingly at odds with contemporary fashion aesthetics.
6.1. Brown Dress with Sheer Accents
This may translate into a neutral-toned room where rich browns, like wooden furniture and accents, are brought to life with sheer drapery in bright yellows.
This infusion of lightness through translucence introduces an airy feel and draws in natural light, showcasing how messy, unflattering choices can create warmth and depth in a space.
7. A Floral Breath of Fresh Air
A fitted floral blue blouse and matching floral blue pants, accompanied by blue heels and a flower bag, evoke a sense of flattering overindulgence.
For once, Blake Lively chooses an outfit that complements her figure. Moreover, she shines in her colors!
7.1. A Floral Breath of Fresh Air
Injecting this into a home means filling a room with patterned wallpapers or throws alongside a multitude of house plants.
Though it could also go the refreshing route, with a baby blue tiled wall.
Accessories would include floral rugs and blue-hued artworks that draw the eye upward.
The floral overload marries maximalism and playful whimsy perfectly, creating a joyful atmosphere.
8. The Patchwork Rebels
Wearing patched-up jeans with a colorful oversized jacket featuring mismatched yellow sleeves creates a fashion statement that screams disarray.
Nothing goes with anything, and Blake Lively’s feminine silhouette is stifled by boxy clothes.
At what point does bold become plain ugly?
8.1. The Patchwork Rebels
This translates to a patchwork of design elements in interiors—from a quirky gallery wall filled with colorful artwork to mismatched furniture that all tell a unique story.
Throw pillows in varying patterns and textures, accompanied by a vibrant floor rug, create a space that celebrates individuality and cohesiveness in the design’s overall aesthetic charm.
9. Camo Clash
Camouflaged cargo pants coupled with an equally oversized camouflaged jacket produce an overwhelming sense of texture and pattern.
It merges an ensemble that feels entirely too chaotic!
9.1. Camo Clash
In an interior design setting, this pattern clash can thrive through a mix of camouflage-themed decor elements, like accent pillows, wall art, or even patterned rugs.
A neutral base can allow the cluttered feel of the camo to stand out, creating a playful yet immersive camouflage universe that balances out its overwhelming designs.
10. Burgundy Meets Flannel Fabric
The combination of burgundy wide pants, black boots, a blue t-shirt, and a colorful oversized flannel shirt showcases an offbeat approach to layering.
Though the color scheme is more or less coherent, there’s much to styling a flattering outfit beyond just the colors.
10.1. Burgundy Meets Flannel Fabric
As an interior, imagine neutral walls with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Layering textures with colorful throws, plush rugs, and textiles inspired by the oversized flannel creates a multi-dimensional space.
The theatricality of layering melds energy into the room, producing a sophisticated maximalist vibe that encourages experimentation, just as the costumes did.
