We went to see Twilight this weekend and our room radar went into overdrive when we saw the set for Edward Cullen's bedroom. Of course, the whole house is gorgeous, with its walls of glass and amazing forest views...but Edward's room was (appropriately) dreamy in a modern way. Jump below for details:
Twilight Inspiration: Edward Cullen's Bedroom Design
The room is neutral, with white walls and floor, metal and wood accents and varied textures. It is a very personal sanctuary; all about books, music, clippings and photos. The room is light and bright - one wall is all windows, and another has large, wide open french doors looking out over the trees. The room is a bit timeless, with some nods to current technology, but plenty of antique items and classics from throught the past century mixed together.
Edward doesn't sleep, so he can make do with a stylish white Barcelona couch instead of a bed, which sits on a grey toned, shaggy rug.
A small Platner table, in chrome and glass is to the side. A flat screen is wall mounted, above a desk, which has a walnut Eames DCM as the desk chair.
White free-floating bookshelves holding books and decorative items sit above an antique record player/jukebox.
The other wall is taken over completely with wall mounted shelving, containing books and a HUGE music collection and audio equipment.
Finally, Edward seems to be a book lover. They are on nearly every surface, with a selection displayed vertically on a Sapien bookshelf.

His house, and especially his room... best part of the movie!

haven't seen the movie but edward is a vampire, right?
which makes him how old?
yet all the furnishings, that you highlight, can be purchased now at dwr....except the electronics which requires a trip to best buy. then add the romantic with old books and records and i assume a painting or vase here or there.
sounds like a nice room but not the best set design.

I think he is like 100 or something, so he hasn't been living in a castle or carrying around 15th century relic's or anything. I mean who wants the same sofa after 50 years?
Besides all the Vampires I know shop at DWR. After saving money for 100 years they can actually afford it.

He isn't that old. Haven't seen the movie yet, but from the book, they have very modern tastes.

Perhaps his Barcelona Daybed is a 1930's original, the Eames DCM a 50's Original, the Platner table a 60's original, the Sapien bookshelf an 80's original...

His hair is a little, um, There's Something About Mary... no?

And to add my two cents -from having read the books- his family moves around every few years. Perhaps he decided to change his design style like a good AT reader: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/la/inspiration/how-often-do-you-change-your-design-style-063853

LOL There's a lot to be said for compounding interest.

Is DWR open at night?
Seriously how hard can it be to decorate with all the usual suspects- Mies, Eames, blah blah blah.. no brainer for this set design.

very good call bepsf, healthyhome read the books/ see the movie before comment as your inferior knowledge of history is showing

I have spoken with Mr. Kovel on the design and price of the house, and these are very modern vampires who seem to "move along" with the times. And Edward is actually 108 years old because he was born in 1901.
