the mindy project set design
One of my new favorite shows from this past year is The Mindy Project. I have long been a Mindy Kaling fan, so it was a no-brainer that I would fall for her show. Aside from The Mindy Project’s obvious comedic genius, the set design is KILLER. I always pay greater attention to sets than I do to dialogue, and Mindy’s character’s apartment always has me pausing + rewinding so I can really study her space. (It’s not annoying at all to anyone else watching with me, I promise.)
So being the obsessive person that I am, I did a little interneting and found these photos and interesting set design tidbits from EW:
This walk-in closet is just an extension of Mindy’s amazing bedroom (seriously, you’ll have to watch the show just to see her headboard!). I love her colorful wardrobe + the line of boots below the window sill.
Obviously I’m obsessed with the craft space. According to the set designer, this little nook was constructed to feature ribbons + other embellishments that Mindy’s character would pull from to create a card or decorate a box or pot. And I’m really digging the sofa + pillows at the end of the bed…! LOVE.
Since Mindy’s character is more of a restaurant-goer than an actual cook, the production designer gathered real menus from various NYC eateries and clipped them to the refrigerator. I love how colorful and real this space looks!
P.S. If you haven’t already, you MUST read her ridiculously hilarious book!

Her bedroom is killer! I love seeing her “house” on that show!
I’m absolutely in love with her apartment in the show! It’s my dream studio apartment for sure! That and probably the apartment in the Anna Faris movie “What’s Your Number.” I recommend you check out Anna’s digs in that one too!
Ooh, I haven’t seen that one! Thanks for sharing (:
