With the grand architecture and extremely high ceilings, Brill wanted to keep the rest of the look minimal, finding a balance between lived-in and uninhabited. To make the set feel as real as possible, Brill stayed true to New Orleans style decor, choosing pieces with a French influence and feminine shape, but still had spooky potential, &quot;Everything has a spindly, kind of scary framework to it. Anytime it could look spidery we wanted it, because with lighting we knew we could get great reflections on the walls from pieces like that.&quot; -   Taken from &quot;Home Tour: American Horror Story's New Orleans Witches' Mansion&quot; by ESTEBAN GONZALEZ on www.mydomaine.com
