Have you been keeping up with the latest tv shows and entertainment news<\/a>? If the answer is yes, then you know there couldn\u2019t be a more appropriate time to talk about House of Cards decor<\/a> than now! The tv series that pretty much made binge-watching a\u00a0thing has just returned, and with it came a lot of drama and criticism to the American political scene. However, you might have noticed by now that that is honestly not our thing, so what we really would like to talk about is the incredible production design behind the scenes and what makes this tv show as amazing as it is. Because much more than a thrilling plot, top of the notch actors and great directors, you can\u2019t make a show without a production design team, and we have been showing you how much this is true for the past five weeks. So, sit back and get ready for another \u2018Inside the Screen\u2019 moment, completely dedicated to the show that keeps everyone glued to their tv\u2019s and laptops!<\/span><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The production designer responsible for making the House of Cards<\/em><\/strong>\u2018 world come true and into our homes is Steve Arnold. This is the man that put together some of the best depictions and interpretations of the White House we have ever seen, and that took it further in more than one set to create an even more powerful image of their world. But we\u2019ll get there, so just keep scrolling\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Arnold talked to Architectural Digest<\/a> when season four premiered, stating that \u201cthe show has a very specific look and feel to it, which is something that [executive producer] David Fincher was heavily involved with in the beginning.<\/em>\u00a0His movies all have a certain look and spareness. The colors and spacial relationships are very controlled. It gives a solemnity and a seriousness that fit with the subject matter of the show<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For Frank and Claire Underwood\u2019s home, the designers came up with an interior Victorian architecture , which includes tall ceilings and windows with wooden shutters\u2014\u201dto control what people can see inside<\/em>,\u201d says Arnold\u2014plus pocket doors and classic lighting fixtures. However, when Robin Wright and Kevin Spacey arrived on set they insisted that the interiors should have a touch of modernity. \u201cSo we took the idea that Claire was interested in photography and included more contemporary artwork,<\/em>\u201d explained the designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the White House sets, however, the Netflix show production design team did not actually get to go inside the White House\u2019s private quarters to gather information and inspiration for their sets. Steve Arnold explained that \u201cNobody really gets to go up there unless they\u2019re staff or Secret Service<\/em>.\u201d So, in order to re-create the residential spaces, the production team turned to archival photographs and materials from the Historic American Buildings Survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the real White House, the room that serves as Claire\u2019s bedroom is actually a dining room. \u201cThe writer wanted to separate Frank and Claire in their own spaces<\/em>,\u201d Arnold says. \u201cWe didn\u2019t really need the dining room, so we turned that into a bedroom for Claire.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also,\u00a0\u201cthe real residence\u2019s bathroom is much, much smaller<\/em>,\u201d says Arnold. \u201cI had to take some artistic license for the show and make it a little more over the top.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also multiple classic<\/strong> and luxury<\/strong> elements throughout all the sets. Lighting<\/a><\/em><\/strong> and colors<\/strong> make all the difference, and the designers definitely knew how to play with that. If you follow the series closely, you might have noticed how all the interior design palettes are kept fairly simple and neutral, with light colors and multiple sober details. This contrasts with the actors clothing, with is usually darker. This allows for a more sophisticated vibe across the settings and a high-end look throughout the series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
