It seems Wednesday and Enid’s dorm at Nevermore Academy has more than two opposites colliding: rainbow and dark.
Their room is located in the Academy’s loft, and PEOPLE learned all the secrets of arranging this unique space from Mark Scruton, production designer for the series’ incredible sets.
About the contrast of Wednesday and Enid in their dorm
“We have divided the room in two, both literally and in terms of design. It was the first location I designed with Tim Burton in London before deciding where to shoot. We knew it had to have these two opposing characters. When Wednesday first enters this room, Enid herself is almost an outcast, for she lives alone in this colorful isolation when Wednesday appears. We had to find a way to show it in a very graphic and stylized way, using both bright colors and black and white.”
about stained glass
“The idea has always been for the window to dominate the room as a centerpiece. We decided it would be better to open and flip the doors. Their relationship – which side of the window they come out of and how they interact with everything – has become so metaphorical. We tried different ways of letting the light in through the windows so that all the colors are only on the Enid side and nothing on the Wednesday side.”
About the details that go unnoticed in the design
“One thing that everyone has seen but no one really noticed or noticed is Wednesday’s crystal ball carrying case. It was designed as one of the turrets of the Addams family estate.”
On the inspiration to create the “dark” side of Wednesday in a room
“We looked to many Charles Addams cartoons as a major source of inspiration. The world they live in is timeless. While the show is very modern in many ways, we wanted Wednesday to exist in its own time zone. It’s not a time period, it’s a time period.
About Unique Items in the Wednesday Area
“The Wednesday side is very interesting because it has nothing but incredibly special objects. We looked at the essentials he needed like the bed and desk, and then we went on a global search to find the perfect pieces for Wednesday. His desk was brought from London, his typewriter from America. .
On his inspiration when creating the “bright” side of Enid in the room
“We used every possible color and texture. He is interested in K-pop and has become the driving force behind everything. But she also has an interest in all things colourful, awesome, unicorns and rainbows. We had so much fun finding them all. We had a huge pile of colorful, incredible items. We tried and rearranged them all, and then we kept adding.”
About an overlooked element that plays an important role in creating two opposite sides of the room
“In this set alone, there were about 90 lights in total, from string lights to table lamps to hidden lights under objects.”
