We love our BFFS, we love movies, and we love interior design. So we can’t think of a better way to celebrate Galentine’s Day than hunkering down with the gals for a marathon session of our favorite movies. Because let’s face it, when it comes to a traditional Valentine’s Day, Leslie Knope knows what’s up:

To make your Galentine’s Day as easy and relaxing and possible, we’ve put together a list of our 9 favorite lady-centric films that also happen to feature great interior design.
Frances Ha
Regardless of your current stage and status of life, it’s impossible not to identify with a twenty something lady who’s trying to find herself in New York City. Plus, just look at the totally unassuming gallery wall and minimalist bookshelf. Impossibly perfect.
Now And Then
This film, with its heavy doses of 1970s modern glam, makes us wistful for the days when orange was a suitable color for both your walls and your curtains.
10 Things I hate About You
While we wouldn’t necessarily want to live in Kat Stratford’s oh-so-teenage bedroom, the impossible feeling of adolescent angst was perfectly executed by the film’s set designers.
Juno
If you learn one thing from watching Juno on Galentine’s Day, it should be that any room can benefit from a hamburger phone.
The Virgin Suicides

The sisters in The Virgin Suicides, while tormented and miserable, evoked a sense of mystery, femininity and shyness that we can’t help but adore. And the interior design of the film got the feeling spot-on.
Practical Magic
Two witchcraft-gifted sisters + One gorgeous Victorian home + the death of a cruel boyfriend = an ideal Galentine’s movie plot.
Clueless
Movies are a great method of escapism, and there’s no greater form of interior design escapism than the styles of 1990s Beverley Hills.
Black Swan
The production design in Black Swan is imbued with stunning symbolic imagery that captures the struggle of trying to maintain one’s sanity when confronted with the all-consuming power of art. It’s the perfect counterweight to an otherwise bubbly Galentine’s Day evening of movies.
It’s Complicated
Things tend to get complicated when trying to reignite your spark with a love that’s remarried. The film’s sophisticated yet relaxed interior design is the perfect setting for a complexly nuanced romantic comedy.
