Each character’s home reflected the type of person they are.

The Usher family is incredibly wealthy, thanks to Roderick and Madeline taking over Fortunato, and so unsurprisingly, all the kids have pretty expensive homes. Kelsey says that their homes were dictated by the tpe of person each character was.
“It was sort of like a process of starting with, ‘Okay, are they in an apartment or a house?’ Those who are in houses are over here, those who are in apartments are over here,” she tells Insider. “And then within the apartments, what style of apartment can we give them, and how can we make them different?”
Kelsey used the examples of Camille L’Espanaye (Kate Siegel), Tamerlane Usher (Samantha Sloyan), and Perry Usher (Sauriyan Sapkota) and pointed out how even though they each lived in an apartment, their apartments were vastly different in accordance with their personalities.
“Camille is really hard-lined, hard-edged, modern. But Tamerlane’s got a bit of an Upper West Side classy kind of feel so she can have more moldings,” Kelsey says.
The youngest Usher, meanwhile, had an extremely millennial abode. “Perry’s the young, kind of obnoxious one, and he’s got more tech and more modern millennial kind of accessories,” she explained.
“Breaking down those kind of differences was what I leaned into because my main concern was that they might all feel like they live in the same apartment building,” she jokes.
