Apartment Therapy presents the findings by money.co.uk as to which TV shows provide the most design influence. Turns out The Brady Bunch was number 1. Followed by Mad Men and Downton Abbey. Of course, a house whose father is an architect would be significant – but how many years later!!! Who participated in this survey? Is that TV show still airing? Oh so many questions! Mad Men, that makes sense – we’re very much into mid-century modern so yes to that. Downton Abbey: love that, but would really like to see who is using that as in inspiration and were they successful.

I love the look of these rooms. I grant you this apartment is on Park Avenue and it may be slightly above most budgets, but it’s the freshness and the colour I’m enjoying. The look is achieved mostly with the colour of the furniture, the drapes and the art. Personally, I could have done without the quasi-turquoise dining room, nevertheless.
