Curious for a look inside Christian Grey’s apartment?

According to set director, C. Scott Baker, the apartment was meant to be “modern and impersonal” with subtle clues as to who lives there. With plenty of modern and opulent décor found inside of the Seattle apartment, the look was designed to reflect Christian’s personality. Perhaps the best way to sum up the look would be with a few words: bold and dramatic.

While it probably isn’t possible to have skyscraper views, wraparound windows, and personal elevators –there are other aspects of the design that are more achievable. Here are a few of the highlights from the layout.

Floors

Marble flooring throughout the apartment make a strong statement. Hardwood floors are also found in various rooms. In the bedroom though, there’s wall-to-wall carpeting –a somewhat unexpected break from the marble and hardwood throughout.
