Elvis Presley’s Graceland, more than just a home, served as a canvas for the King of Rock and Roll’s creative expressions.
Located in Memphis, Tennessee, this mansion was Elvis’s residence from 1957 until his passing in 1977. Within these walls, his artistic visions came to life, influenced by a team of Memphis-based interior designers who helped transform Graceland into a series of spectacular, theatrical room settings.
These designs not only reflected the drama of Elvis’s stage performances but also captured evolving design trends over the decades, from themed rooms to the integration of emerging technologies.
With the upcoming release of “Priscilla,” a biopic by Sofia Coppola set to premiere on November 3, Graceland is once again thrust into the cinematic spotlight.
The film delves into the life of Priscilla Presley, portrayed by Cailee Spaeny, and her storied relationship with Elvis, who is played by Jacob Elordi. The narrative spans the years Priscilla spent at Graceland in the 1960s up to her divorce from Elvis in 1972.
Beyond its role as a family home, Graceland became a public museum in 1982 thanks to Priscilla’s efforts, transforming it into a revered site for both music lovers and design aficionados.
As “Priscilla” prepares to bring new layers of the Presley legacy to audiences, Graceland remains a testament to Elvis’s enduring influence on music and style. Here’s an exclusive glimpse into the iconic Graceland, where every room tells a story, each a frozen tableau of a moment in design and cultural history.
