Props
The collection of theatrical movie props are an integral part of Clubhouse Interiors modern take on interior design and collectable, interesting pieces of value. The addition of quirky one-off props used in the home can provide a real sense of fun and entertainment, or better still, when a ‘prop’ can be used in some way – such as our roulette wheel, our football tables or pinball machines. Our items are lovingly restored to the best of their former glory – and always ‘working’ if possible, by the founder of the showroom or other, specialist restorative experts in their field. Sometimes a prop is just that – a feature that isn’t in working order, an item that provides a focal point to a themed room.
Clubhouse interiors currently feature a carousel house, which would look stunning in a children’s bedroom or a playroom, however, a sense of adventure and the non conventional means that ‘anything goes’, and the ‘repurposing’ of items in an different setting from where they were initially intended is now a popular interior design trick of the moment. Certain items can alter how a person or the atmosphere room may feel, and that alone can be ample reason to purchase an unconventional piece of history. The memories attached to certain objects or items in the home can last a lifetime, and many items we feature will go on to be handed down as heirlooms or retained to appreciate in value for avid collectors in the future.
Along with movie props, Clubhouse Interiors’ highly desirable oversized wall clocks, cameras and projectors can provide talking points in your home like no other, with such statement pieces often restored to their shiny best by our experts. Many of the metals, compounds, leathers and woods used in our collector’s items are often steeped in history, while their texture, weight and robustness depict a level of manufacture in an era that conflicts with the present.
The eclectic style of our modern homes are more likely than ever to bolster the bridge between eclectic travel souvenirs, wall art, and modern Swedish flat packing with themed pieces to personalise any interior design. The feeling that ‘anything goes’ is evident, and knowing that older items can be boosted to their visual best with muted tones of matte, flat, chalky painted walls aids this link between past and present.
The supply of our own props are selected with popularity in mind, and the items found in the treasure-filled nest of Clubhouse Interiors also offer some lesser-known one-offs. The idea associated with antique items can impose a stuffy, less than desirable style for many young couples, aspiring professionals and graduates. Props and statement features can inject some quirky style and class into any type of home. With more and more Pinteresters and DIY interior apps available, the ability for anyone, anywhere, to become at least a little knowledgeable on the visual significance and appeal of unique collector’s items, can become a satisfying hobby in its own right.
