From my many rewatches of Pride and Prejudice, there are a few takeaways I’ve adapted from the Bennet family home and brought across the pond to my Brooklyn apartment. They are as follows.Mix time periodsCollecting pieces from across centuries and design aesthetics gave the Bennet home a collected feel you can’t obtain any other way. “We look at the furniture in that house and we go, my goodness, that’s amazing furniture,” Greenwood tells AD. “But to Mrs. Bennet’s eyes, it was just old furniture.”Where there is a surface, cover itThe Bennets were maximalists before maximalism was a thing. Being a family of seven, including five daughters who love to read, write, and squeal about, it’s understandable that the home be perfectly cluttered with stacks of books, bottles of ink, plates of bread, and beyond. From dining tables to desks to pianos, no surface in Longbourn is left bare. The beauty in this curated chaos is that everything in sight serves a purpose, be it something beautiful or something practical. I’ve adapted to this same ethos in my own home.Always have a vase of fresh-cut flowersWhile mine may be from a bodega, a bouquet of colorful blooms in a ceramic pitcher is about as English countryside as it gets. I recommend opting for yellows and whites, like the Bennets.There are never enough oil paintingsWithin the very first few moments of the movie, we are welcomed inside Longbourn, where we see Mary Bennet playing the pianoforte beneath a collection of four ornately framed portraits. And throughout the rest of the home, we can spot even more hanging on the Bennet’s perfectly patinated blue walls. In the years since falling in love with Pride and Prejudice, I’ve acquired a vast collection of oil paintings, all of which I think Mrs. Bennet would very much approve.Experiencing Pride and PrejudiceTo celebrate the 20th anniversary of Pride and Prejudice, Focus Features is re-releasing the Academy Award–nominated film in select theaters nationwide. “We had such fun making it and I think that effervescence comes over in the film,” Greenwood tells AD. “It was this blissful summer.” Oh to be a fly on a wall. Desperate for your own taste of what life was like for Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy? You could even go one step further than collecting antiques that evoke the film: A trip to England will grant you access to many of the iconic film locations, which are open to the public.Filming locationsLongbournSimon Woods and Pike in the film.
