Graceland was more than just a home for Elvis Presley; it was a place where the King of Rock and Roll could express himself creatively.
This sprawling house in Memphis, Tennessee, was Elvis’ home from 1957 until his death in 1977. Inside these walls, his artistic ideas came to life with the help of a group of interior designers from Memphis who turned Graceland into a number of stunning, theatrical rooms. Not only did these designs capture the excitement of Elvis’s stage shows, but they also showed how design tastes have changed over the years, from themed rooms to using new technologies.
The drama “Priscilla,” directed by Sofia Coppola, is set to come out on November 3, putting Graceland back in the movie film spotlight. There is a lot of information in the movie about Priscilla Presley’s life and her friendship with Elvis, who is played by Jacob Elordi. It tells about Priscilla’s time at Graceland from the 1960s until she and Elvis split up in 1972. In 1982, Graceland stopped being a family house and became a public museum thanks to Priscilla’s work. It is now a revered place for both music and design fans.
Graceland is still a sign of Elvis’s lasting impact on music and style, even as “Priscilla” gets ready to show new parts of the Presley heritage. Here is a rare look inside the famous Graceland. Each room has a story to tell and is a frozen scene of a time in design and culture history.
