For those who are familiar with his films, the aesthetic of Asteroid City will undeniably feel very 'Wes Anderson' — even from the first few seconds.
The colors, the costumes, the symmetry, the compositions, and so much more. The director is known for his instantly recognizable style, which some people call formalism. This means that things are highly stylized in a way that's visually pleasing and helps tell a story creatively, rather than making things true to real life.

To achieve a modern, charmingly quirky interior that feels 'accidentally Wes Anderson', Lauren Kavanagh, Art Director at Hovia, lists her top styling tips to leave you feeling like you've stepped onto set:
- 'Put your statement furniture piece, such as a velvet couch, up against the very centre of the widest wall. Or, in the centre of the room with other decor either side in the background.'
- 'For the color palette, the main players are baby pink, bright aqua, apple green or fern green, rust orange, firetruck red and canary yellow. Mix and match, and try color-drenching an area of the room.'
- 'Incorporate grand and interesting elements like patterns, panelling, chandeliers and different textures where possible.'
- 'Eclectic and eccentric details are a must, like books galore, collections of trinkets and tchotchkes, and curated color schemes of "retro" tones'.
- 'Don't be afraid to have things very pared-back in some areas. Go for symmetry, keep the decorations to a minimum, and use subtle block colors.'
