Runway to Room with Mrs. Maisel

Tomorrow marks the return to Prime Video of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, one of my all-time favorite television shows. Sure, I watch the show for the laughter and the drama, but I keep a sharp eye out for the killer costumes, too.

And being that I’m midcentury modern mad when it comes to home decor, it seems only fitting that BoHo Home should bring you a runway-to-room edition with MMM season 4 fashions. But before we dive in, let’s take a brief look at some of the stellar duds peek-a-booed in the official season trailer:

1. Living coral winter pick-me-up

To-die-for coral is an eye-popping alternative for late winter. I always love the hats paired with the dresses, though I’d probably never wear any of them. But I remember with fondness the collection of hats my own mother had in the late-50s and 1960s. Women simply never went out without them! This one seems to me a frou-frou version of the ubiquitous bucket hat.

The lampshades in this living room remind me of the hat. If I actually owned this living room, I don’t think I’d ever leave it–partcularly when it was raining or snowing! Coral can be oh-so-cozy year-round.

Not a bad pairing! The skirted umbrella is also echoed in the lampshades, and the pattern in the foreground chairs picks up her darker shoes (scroll back up to check ’em out in the full-length photo).

2. Uptown patriotic chic

Just how many hats and coats does this lady own? There are two in additional to this one included in this post and a promise of a few more in season 4. The red and blue combo shown here, though, is a classic, accentuated by Suzy’s tuxedo.

The classiness of that tux is echoed in these elegant, deep navy walls and the striped bedding. I love the contrast of the red and blue, as well as the pop of the turquoise chair and lavender lampshades. I’d also like a closer look at the cameo-type artwork above the bed.

The band on Midge’s hat was definitely made from the throw pillow on this bed, don’t you think?

3. Pretty in pink and lavender

If Midge wasn’t Jewish, I’d think this was her Easter outfit. Only I’m wondering, where’s the hat? She always has a hat!! Call it her posh Passover paraphernalia, complete with a fancy apron to protect the from kitchen mishaps. Don’t know what she’s doing with that man’s shoe in her hand in this scene, but I’d trade my Hokas for those lavender pumps.

As an avowed maximalist, I have to say I adore this room. And it is, to me, Midge incarnate–there is so much going on in it, just like in her life and her wacky head. The patterned textiles make me swoon, and the mix of purples, pinks and oranges makes me feel like I’m in my favorite place–a flower garden.

This dress is garden-like as well. Note the two children’s chairs in the foreground of the room–one for each of Midge’s kids. Which Ethan fight Esther for the pink?

4. A way with pedal-pushers

Even casual, this babe is so put together, as is the elderly gentleman she shares a bench with. I love his boutonniere and windowpane-check socks, which quietly echo her houndstooth car coat and hat.

No checks or plaids here, but this room gets the color story right. What an interesting contrast to paint the bookshelves aqua. Don’t think I would ever have the hutzpah to do that (nor could I convince hubs), but it really works.

That’s what’s great about looking at decor photos: You see things you never would have thought of and develop the courage to try them yourself. Only…someone needs to write a guide to convincing your partner.

It’s a great room to continue a conversation in, and both Midge and her new pal would fit right in.

5. Magenta magic

Midge has another new male friend who will be frequenting season 4. It’s Milo Ventimiglia, and the rumor is he’s a new love interest. Poor Joel! Anyway, cute as Milo is, he pales beside Midge’s wine-magenta ensemble. Love the gloves a shade pinker and the heels a shade purplier. And I WANT this hat! I really, really want it!

I’d take this room, too, with it’s extra-long sofa and huge magenta ottoman. The checkered pillows contrast interestingly with the circular wall art, and the mix of lean-lined midcentury chairs with curvy baroque-armed ones adds fun to the mix.

The longer you look at both photos, the more similarities pop out.

6. Greens with envy

There’s Milo again and his dog, I guess, and another new coat for Midge. I love how the greens in her outfit mix with the greens of the foliage in the background. And although we can’t see what Midge is wearing underneath the coat, a bit of olive green skirt peeks out from beneath the coat. Love the olive-green heels as well!

This room makes me feel enveloped in a forest with its many greens and navy. The dark wall treatment adds to the coziness and brings the eye directly to the comfy velvet sofa. So inviting! I’d like a closer look at the long chest peeking out from behind the sofa; it adds so much texture.

The rug echoes Milo’s outfit and the greens echo Midge’s, as well as the foliage, and the pops of tan echo the pooch! Divine!!

7. Rich, ravishing, raging red

More Milo in neutrals and more Midge in single tones. Actress Rachel Brosnahan sure wears vibrant color well. Can’t see much about the style of this dress, but the rich, ravishing, raging red is the story. And that HAT!!! I love the beret style and that touch of soutache trim.

Rich, ravishing, raging red is the color story in this bedroom, too. I love the map of Manhattan wallpaper sectioned as if you were viewing it through a huge picture window.

Midge and Milo are likely in Central Park in the shot on the left, and the wallpaper in the shot on the right has Central Park in it, so there’s that tie. There’s also the red, which spells passion. Do you suppose the two of them will see a bit of that this season? This bedroom stands ready and hopeful.

If you want more…

If you and your significant other are also looking for a bed, the Plaza Hotel is offering a Mrs. Maisel special for a limited time. There’s a Midge Menu afternoon tea through March 19 for $99 per person, and a suite based on Midge’s new season 4 apartment bookable through April 10 for a mere $2,030 per night.

You’ll be glad to know the suite price includes the Midge Menu afternoon tea, as well as a Midge-inspired hairstyling from the Warren Tricomi Salon and a shoppable Midge closet, courtesy of The Plaza Boutique, where, I’m assuming, actual purchases are an additional charge.

Those of us who aren’t so flush will have to be satisfied with the show itself, which is ample fare and FREE to Prime subscribers. Two episodes–“Rumble on the Wonder Wheel” and “Billy Jones and the Orgy Lamp”–will be available tomorrow, Feb. 18, with two more dropping each of the following three Fridays, for a total of eight.

Get the dope on which characters return and who’s new HERE.

And take this Midge-ism to heart: You know what’s great about me? It’s when I’m me!
