The 2026 Wuthering Heights movie is set on the moors of Yorkshire, a rugged windswept landscape that represents danger and harshness, but also a kind of wild freedom, that separates two homesteads, but at the heart of the Wuthering Heights story is the tale of the characters who inhabit them. Wuthering Heights is the more modest homestead represented by foreboding darkness, while Thrushcross Grange a grand estate of opulence and shown in technicolour.

The film set was never about documenting the 1800s literally, instead, it was about capturing the essence of a feeling, evoking feelings is also something we at The Coffee Table Book try to focus on with our wedding albums, in the case of the movie “a teenage fever dream” — the sensation of first encountering the book. The upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation certainly pays homage to architectural trends from the late 18th century, but the overall set builds pay tribute to several eras.

Wuthering Heights aesthetic is defined as a bold, surreal fever dream of Gothic Romance blending over-the-top Victorian-era themes while modern and surreal, opulent fabrics and corsets made of rich velvets and intricate lace. With subtle nods to the 19th century, the aesthetic takes on a dark romance feel with intricate jewellery and bedazzled hairpins and combs.

An intense colour palette often described as a bloody-red palette including burgundy and rich red hues, symbolising the passion and tumultuous love story between the main characters, Catherine (played by Margot Robbie) and Heathcliff (played by Jacob Elordi). Tones of blush are featured to reflect sweat-inspired “flushed” skin, as well as a saturation of pink and contrasting soft blue featured in the home interiors make an appearance.

A modern farmhouse & rustic charm is the backdrop of the “Wuthering Heights” set, relying on natural materials, such as exposed wooden beams, stone fireplaces, and weathered stone, designs we often see in barn style weddings. A Shabby Chic look prioritising a “well-lived-in” feel with vintage accents.

This trend includes unusual or intimate details like hand-shaped candle holders or motifs representing human anatomy in glossy or shiny finishes, to mimic the atmosphere of the Yorkshire moors, the location where the movie is set.
