The Simpsons and Wes Anderson’s films like The Royal Tenenbaums seem like odd bedfellows.

But when reimagined with creative yet faithful set design, the two seem like a perfect match.

Created for HomeAdvisor, these scenes and locations from the long running animated series have been transformed into real life places, but with careful style and design that make them seem at home in Anderson’s quirky but deeply lovable movies.

From Homer’s station at the nuclear power plant to good ‘ol Moe’s Bar, the scenery is believable and yet too perfect at the same time.

Via HomeAdvisor:

The Simpsons living room reimagined in Wes Anderson style with pink walls, a brown leather sofa and a striped rugThe Simpsons kitchen in Wes Anderson style with pink cabinets, a checkerboard floor and a round tableLisa Simpson's bedroom in Wes Anderson style with swan wallpaper, a Jazz sign and an iron bedMoe's Tavern in Wes Anderson style with a pool table, red bar stools and stained glass windowsThe Springfield Nuclear Power Plant control room in Wes Anderson style with an orange curved console and radiation symbolsMr. Burns' office in Wes Anderson style with green walls, a chandelier and a red carpet

The renders were produced by the creative studio NeoMam for HomeAdvisor, and they get the details right in both directions. The pink living room walls and the boat painting above the couch are pure Springfield, while the symmetry, the pastel palette and the vintage props are lifted straight from The Grand Budapest Hotel and The Royal Tenenbaums. We have a soft spot for both franchises. See The Simpsons get a Wes Anderson makeover, the animated version of the same idea, The Simpsons visualized in real life, and the Wes Anderson house you can book on Airbnb.
