Step into a world where the silver screen transcends its frames and enters the realms of interior design. In this lively exploration, we reimagine some of our beloved movie characters not just as fictional personalities but as distinct interior design styles. Picture your living space inspired by the essence of iconic characters, each bringing its unique style and narrative. 

Join us on a journey where fantasy and design collide, transforming your home into a cinematic masterpiece!

Amir - Amir El Behar

In Amir El Behar, Mohamed Henedi's comedic portrayal of the character Amir, a spoiled student at the Naval Academy, is showcased. Amir, with a love for the ocean, often has scenes featuring the tranquil view of the sea in the background. The colour palette of his clothes, dominated by shades of blues and whites with occasional yellows, aligns with the coastal interior design style. 

For those who share Amir's love for the sea and wish to remodel spaces, incorporating a white-based colour scheme for furniture and walls reflects the purity and vastness of the coastal theme. Blues and whites, representing the primary colours of the sea, can be used sparingly as pops of colour in specific areas. 

Touches of yellow or gold are recommended to evoke the sand and sun rays on side tables, antiques, or light fixtures. Completing the coastal style involves integrating natural elements in the form of patterned wall textures and coastal-inspired plants!

Gamila- Africano

Our beloved 2000s romance/action movie Africano stars the superstars Mona Zaki and Ahmed El Sakka. Mona Zaki played the character Gamila, an independent and stubborn young woman who embraced nature and was fearless of its dangers. Combining all these characteristics of Gamila with her African residence, we would get a uniquely modern African interior design style that ought to make you feel connected to nature. 

Based on Gamila's character, her interior style would be African-inspired, where the primary colour palette would be beige, black, and brown shades. Furniture could mainly be made of wood paired with wool or leather patterned with geometrical shapes to tone down the intensity of the natural elements. 

If you fancy a similar style for your home, add plants to liven up the space and drag that aromatic nature smell into your home. If you have a nack just like Gamila for African antiques, decorating your home with these artistic features and filling these empty corners is recommended!

Masry El Sayed - Assal Eswd

One of the most complicated yet loveable characters is Masry, played by Ahmed Helmy in Assal Eswd. Masry El Sayed was experiencing an identity crisis, confused by his dual American/Egyptian nationality. 

As such, his interior style would be a mix of American industrial style with a touch of Egyptian heritage. Masry was a photographer, a bit messy with an eccentric style that reminded us of an American lifestyle. Combining these elements, we would get an equally shabby and unique interior style by choosing a formal sofa paired with a round pouffe with a familiar pattern found in areas rich with heritage, such as Khan El Khalili, and an equally patterned carpet.

Though the industrial style is mainly about steel, the Egyptian heritage leans towards wood accessories, so combining both would give the desired effect of styles clashing. The industrial style and Egyptian heritage share similarities in the colour palette of shades of oranges, browns, and greens. Using bricks in both styles is also a nice touch to highlight a rustic yet vintage tone.

Nagiba Metwaly El Kholy - Al Thalatha Yashtaghalonaha

In the movie Al Thalatha Yashtaghalonaha, Yasmine Abdel Aziz's character, Nagiba Metwaly El Kholy, undergoes an identity crisis similar to Masry. Nagiba's character unfolds through various phases, revealing her true self. An analysis of her character suggests that she embodies both an old soul and a hyper side, breaking the monotony of her life. 

If translated into interior design, Nagiba's style leans towards traditional with the occasional pop of colour, featuring rigid and formal furniture layouts. Neat and clean walls with shelves for her books reflect her intellectual side. To satisfy the nerd within her, Nagiba might prefer to paint her bookshelves in a colour different from the other walls to highlight their importance. 

To infuse a touch of playfulness, she introduces occasional pops of colour, whether on the sofa, cushions, or unique antiques. The traditional scene is disrupted by these vibrant elements. To complete Nagiba's style, a patterned carpet with a pop of colour adds a bold and cohesive touch to the overall look. 

Hamza - El Basha Telmiz

Ramez Galal played the character Hamza in El Basha Telmiz, portraying him as a cool, fun musician who thrived on attention. To match his vibe, Hamza's interior design style would be modern electric. His furniture selection would be all about curves to give off Hamza's playfulness and laid-back side. 

Hamza was trying to balance life's seriousness and playfulness, and his walls reflect that through the mix of solid paint, curvilinear patterns, and formal lines. His primary colour palette is shades of red, black, and white, with red the dominating colour in each scene to rob the attention, just like the attention seeker of a performer, Hamza.
