Decorating Pages: TV and Film Design

Production Designer Loren Weeks and Set Decorator Michael Nallan join Decorating Pages to discuss the production design and set decoration of Netflix’s psychological thriller The Beast in Me, starring Claire Danes and Matthew Rhys.
Host Kim Wannop talks with Loren and Michael about how Aggie’s house became a character in the series, from the rich wallpaper and cluttered writing room to the unfinished renovation details that quietly reveal a life interrupted by grief. They also discuss the contrast between Aggie’s warm, layered fixer-upper and Niall’s sleek, controlled mansion, plus the gallery artwork, murder-scene logistics, child’s bedroom, and the unforgettable safari birthday party.
This episode is a deep dive into how production design and set decoration support character, psychology, class, grief, and suspense in The Beast in Me on Netflix.

Production Designer Victor Molero joins Decorating Pages to break down the production design of Season 2 of The Night Manager (Prime Video). This episode dives into global location strategy across London, Colombia, and Spain, plus how Tenerife (Canary Islands) doubled for multiple countries.
Victor shares the behind-the-scenes process of designing sets that support character psychology — from clinical, minimal spaces that signal loneliness to “luxury trap” environments built to feel beautiful but claustrophobic. The conversation covers scenic painting and aging, custom tiles, museum-scale set dressing and artwork, VFX architectural additions, and building a jungle camp set with practical atmosphere.
If you love production design, set decoration, art department workflow, and world-building for TV, this episode is packed with craft details.
