"And Just Like That..." - A Series Where Only Interiors Are Good

While everyone criticizes the plot and characters of Carrie, Miranda, and Charlotte in the continuation of "Sex and the City," we decided to focus on one of the most successful aspects of the series - its interiors. Compared to the apartments where the heroines lived 20 years ago, these new luxurious apartments speak about their status, income level, and life changes. Moreover, every room is a reflection of its owner: it reveals character, style, and the nature of the inhabitant's profession and family. We suggest thoroughly examining the interiors in the favorite trio's apartment (remembering Samantha with a smile) and drawing inspiration for changes in your own home.

The set designer of "And Just Like That..." was Miguel Lopez-Castillo, who worked on the set design of the 2010 feature film "Sex and the City: The Movie." His team included decorator Carol Silverman, whose resume includes Saturday Night Live and the first episodes of "Sex and the City" that aired in 1998. This is why Miguel and Carol approached creating interiors in the apartments, flats, and houses with particular care.

Carrie Bradshaw's and Mr. Big's Apartments

In the first three episodes, viewers could thoroughly study the luxurious apartments of the favorite serial couple, where both their personalities were reflected: a classic New York interior combined with eclecticism. After the second part of the "Sex and the City" film, the apartment underwent several changes, including style and color choices. However, something was preserved: for example, Carol Silverman managed to find the same wallpaper for the hallway that had been there before.

Special attention is drawn to exotic prints on wallpapers, curtains, and chair upholstery. The walls showcase masterpieces of modern art and rare archival photographs, subtly reminding about Mr. Big's high income. A large library, an impressive vinyl record collection and turntable, workspaces (each with their own), and a gym - all this not only testifies to the broad interests of the inhabitants but also reminds about lockdowns that trapped people in their homes for an extended period.

The enormous wardrobe of the couple remains a dream destination for any fashion lover. The space is divided into two parts by color: the light side is the domain of Carrie's shoe collection and colorful outfits, while the dark built-in wardrobes neatly hang Mr. Big's formal suits and ties.

Decorating the Wardrobe, Like Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big

It is impossible not to mention the large amount of marble: it completely covers the huge bathroom. Dark brown and white varieties perfectly complement gold accessories. The marble countertop fits perfectly into the gray-green kitchen of the heroes.

By the way, in upcoming episodes, the show creators promise to reveal the old Bradshaw apartment that remains under her control. However, it has undergone several changes as well. "Sara Jessica Parker really helped us with the design of Carrie's iconic apartment. She had many ideas about how the space should look. I'm glad that viewers will be able to appreciate our shared vision," Carol Silverman told Apartment Therapy.

Charlotte York-Goldblatt's Apartment and Family

In Charlotte's spacious apartment in Upper East Side, there is now a small chaos: all due to her two teenage daughters, one of whom can easily roll on roller skates down the hallway (and Harry is happy to join her). White color, which previously dominated in the conservative York's home, has been replaced with joyful colors and vibrant prints.

The kitchen remains light, where minimalism and order reign. Exceptions include pink-beige fabric blinds with an elegant pattern, as well as a stylish Art Deco chandelier with metal finish.

As for the daughters' bedrooms (of course, pink), they reflect their characters, interests, and self-perception. And, of course, florist's touch was applied to the room design: his minimalist works are present in every room (even the hallway).

Miranda Hobbs, Steve Brady's House, and Their Son

As for Miranda's personal life, it became more measured. Together with her husband Steve and teenage son Brady, she lives in a house located in Brooklyn. The living spaces are decorated in classic style and filled with comfort: a large and comfortable sofa, numerous soft cushions, and vintage floor lamps - there is everything (including the right atmosphere) for family movie nights and watching series in the living room.

Brady's son's bedroom fully reflects his interests. Rough brick walls here are adorned with posters from series and computer games, as well as photos of favorite heroes and sports stars. The color palette is muted, with brown, beige, and blue shades as the base. "Boys' teenage bedrooms look like a bomb exploded," noted Miguel Lopez-Castillo, who, being a father of two sons, used his own experience for decorating Brady's bedroom.

Seven more episodes of the show await us, in which stylish interiors from the heroines' apartments will definitely be shown. And they, unlike the plot, will surely not disappoint viewers.
