Get this Look! Gabrielle Solis


Gabrielle Solis is played by Eva Longoria





Personality: Fiery, shes’s nouveau rich, warm, sensual and lives to her motto; Gabby wants Gabby gets!


Background: A Petite Latina who’s beautiful, adored, and bored, former Given Gabby’s penniless past, she flaunts her wealth.


Interior Style: Mediterranean and Mexican



You’ll know its Gabby’s house because it’s a complete reflection of her and physical beauty; you’ll know it from the moment you step inside her home. Her home interior is Mediterranean style decorated with Mexican decors to show her heritage and Old World Artworks to add more accents; with overflowing with luxurious fabrics in rich, golden tones uses Marble Tiles, silks and anything expensive. It makes her home very colorful and sophisticated.












1. Floors – Pick a customized floor carpet covering in beige or light grey

2. Walls – Yellow, the commonly used wall color paint for Mediterranean Inspired and White for Wood frames and areas you wish to make a statement on its own.

3. Furniture, For your Bed, Pick an Iron Made Four Poster bed make sure it has clean lines in Antique Finish. Choose a shade of Red and Gold for your Bed with Patterns of Classical or Mandala look to make it Heavy and Feminine. Picking Red makes her a fiery goddess and so do you! and For your Living Area, Auster Feel of Chaise Lounge and Pair of Seater sofa in light beige or grey that is a little bit darker than complements your floor. Pair it with a Glass Center table with golden legs with a little intricacy on the design. 

4. Art Work – Gabby may not be the person who appreciates art but she knows what would complement the look and feel she is looking for and that is Old World Theme. 






Gabby is my favorite character, her inner personal is just so hilarious yet she’s a bitch friend whom you would definitely make you laugh and say the things that no other friend can do; and her character shows a complex society that evolves from rags to riches. At some point, I see myself in her for being a go-getter and I see my friends in here too.

There are various ways to achieve this look
