No question, 2011 was a beautiful year for film.The Artist, a nod to classic Hollywood, brought silence - and black and white - back to the silver screen. George Clooney, not too shabby himself, nabbed a Best Actor nomination for his role in The Descendants, set in Hawaii. And while we weren't entirely sure what The Tree of Life was about, we could sit back and watch it for hours. (And we did.)

This year's Best Picture nominees took classic themes and made them fresh - and we don't think it's a coincidence that we're celebrating them so close to spring cleaning time. Why not follow their lead to give your home a movie-inspired makeover? These looks will have you thanking the Academy.

1. Hugo-Inspired TV Room
Martin Scorcese's first 3D film, Hugo, leads the Oscar race with 11 nominations. The family-friendly mystery is set in 1930s Paris and follows the orphaned Hugo as he goes to great lengths to repair a broken automaton, or mechanical man, which he's sure has a message for him. The story unfolds among clocks, trains, and old films, giving it a steampunk look.

2. The Artist-Inspired Bedroom
In The Artist, silent actor George Valentin's star dims as Peppy Miller's rises. The pair may be from two different worlds (silent film vs. talkies), but they're perfect together on the dance floor and, dare we say, the bedroom.
