How To Decorate Your Room Like Rose's Quarters In Titanic

From the iconic theme song to the love between characters Jack and Rose, "Titanic" is a classic 1997 film that has won the hearts of millions, per IMDb. In the movie, Rose and her fiancee Cal occupy a first-class stateroom aboard the infamous Titanic. The duo shared one of few suites on the large ship and lived in the lap of luxury during the voyage. From the plush fabrics to the wall moldings and upholstery chairs, the first-class suite was nothing short of elegance. This room included sitting rooms, dressing rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms. Everyone wanted to travel across the ocean in this level of comfort and class.

You can recreate the first-class sophistication and style in your home by finding inspiration in the film and decorating with a modern twist. With elements like wallpaper, fresh flowers, and rugs, your interior can be as lavish as it appears on the big screen. For all the ways to decorate a room like Rose's quarters in "Titanic" and to create a contemporary vintage vibe at home, continue reading.

Next time you rewatch "Titantic," notice the wood designs and intricate details on the furniture. Throughout various scenes, you will see furnishings with ornate details. Replicating these furniture pieces isn't as difficult as one may think since vintage furniture has found its footing in interiors today. You can incorporate these timeless curves and edges in your home for the perfect stateroom look with a twist.

While you may keep the look classic with a traditional wood appearance and drawer pulls, consider upcycling your old piece of furniture with some paint for an old-world vibe. Paint the furniture piece with your favorite bold dark color like Tricorn Black by Sherwin Williams available at Lowe's, or stick to neutrals. When working with wood furniture, prep the piece properly since you want the paint to adhere correctly for a long-lasting finish. Lightly sanding will prepare the wood for primer, paint, or stain, per Upcycle That. Upcycle old furniture and give it a new look and purpose in your home.

If you're looking to add a bit of glam to the bedroom inspired by Rose's room aboard the Titanic, consider adding a canopy above the bed. While elegant to gaze at, they were once primarily intended for warmth and privacy. According to The Bedding Mart, canopy beds were once a symbol of royalty. The fabric was draped across the top of what were typically four post beds in a luxurious way and often had tassels to tie back the panels. In the image above, you can see Rose is holding onto one of the bed posts in her first class suite. Canopy beds are not uncommon and give a regal feel to the bedroom.

No posts, no problem. You can recreate the canopy look in your bedroom using curtain rod ceiling brackets like these seen on Amazon. Properly secured, these fastened brackets will begin to tailor the draped canopy look around your bed. Find your favorite curtains based on light filtration from sheer to total blackout, and hang the curtain rods with the panels to surround the bed frame. Tie them back for a beautiful silhouette, or let them hang loose to shield the room from prying eyes and daylight.

The walls were not the only luxurious attribute in Rose's quarters on the ship. The furniture was equally impressive, with wood carvings and upholstery fabrics in different materials and designs. Consider adding upholstery chairs to your interior with materials and fabrics that mimic Rose's quarters in the movie.

Decorate your room for the suite life by incorporating lush materials like velvet for a lavish look. According to Kathy Kuo Home, velvet is a weaving of yarn combined with different twists, fabrics, and techniques. Velvet textures vary in style, sheen, color, design, and pattern from crushed, silk, embossed, linen, and velveteen. Other materials such as leather, silk, wool, and cotton are ideal for your everyday seating arrangements. This fabric is ultra chic and durable, but synthetic materials, cotton, linen, and woven fabrics add texture and dimension to a space. Consider mixing a few seats with different upholstery materials for an authentic atmosphere.

From the parlor to the bedroom, you can capture a glimpse of a vintage mirror leaning against the walls in Rose's quarters aboard the ship. In the image above, you can see Rose checking her dress in the reflection of a mirror resting on a table. If you have a blank wall above a table in your home, consider decorating it with a vintage-style mirror in a gold, black, brown, silver, or brass finish.

Leaning mirrors are trendy and stylish in every interior. Add style to your home by layering an ornate mirror at the entryway, a bed, or a fireplace to add style to your home. "Large mirrors are a classic focal point above living room fireplaces," interior designer Zoe Warren told Good Housekeeping. "Traditional wooden, metal or gold-leaf frames are ideal for this, but they can be weighty. So, hanging them correctly is essential." Open your space and reflect its beauty by decorating with mirrors fit for first-class affairs. The best placement for mirrors around the home is where they maximize light. These highly purposeful elements make a statement in any home.

When decorating with accent chairs, maximalist taste is a must for a room like Rose's. Flora and fauna patterns are almost on every chair's fabric since this design was popular in the early 1900s. "The Victorian's, with their winter gardens and potted palms, also saw floral or nature-themed patterns as a respite from the increasingly gray world outside their windows," Director of Fine Art at 1stDibs, Anthony Barzilay Freund, told Vogue. "For the last few years we've seen growing interest in what is known as the Grand Millennial look; a youthful, hipster-influenced reimaging of your grandmother's decor."

You can add one of these statement chairs to a corner of the room or double the fun with two floral upholstery pieces at the end of the bed or adjacent to the sofa. There are many pieces of furniture to consider when decorating a room, but none are as flexible as an accent chair. The versatility is endless, and these furnishings can be dressed up or down and moved all around.

Wood is typically for crafting furniture. The material is everywhere from the sitting room, bedroom, breakfast area, and dressing room in Rose's quarters. Incorporate wood furnishings into your home on the ends of sofas, between two accent chairs, or at the entry. When shopping for real wood furniture, no piece is quite the same. Is a vintage piece of furniture worth buying? "Check to see if the piece is made of solid hardwood and not veneer," designer Liz Caan told PureWow. "Ask yourself how much you want to invest in refinishing and new hardware." These are essential elements to consider when shopping for vintage furniture. The material matters, as the better quality of wood, the more acceptable the price tag.

You can combine several wood types like pine, oak, and mahogany in one room or add additional furniture with texture, like wicker tables and chairs. This neutral tone complements wood furniture and will look great indoors or outdoors. The natural material will add softness, break up negative space, and give a contemporary feel to a traditional room.

There is nothing faux about the blooms in Rose's room. You instantly notice the height of the flower arrangement on the table in the scene above. Look a bit closer, and you'll see there are not just one but two stunning flower arrangements in the space. Long stem or short stem flowers are up to you, but fresh flowers in vases on table tops will introduce a pop of organic color into a room. Get the look of Rose's quarters and decorate the home with flowers. The peace lily is one of the best indoor flowers, per Jay Scotts Collection. These beautiful flowers grow well in indoor shade and thrive on moderate watering.

From the ceiling to the walls, natural and artificial lighting, mirrors, accessories, and furniture, find the pieces to complete a room representative of a first-class suite aboard an ocean vessel. Draw inspiration from upcycling furniture, adding molding to the walls, and decorating with fresh flower arrangements. Decorate your space like Rose's quarters in the "Titanic" with modern-day fixtures and furnishings inspired by the past.
