That’s A’moire

A misty lavender wall covering from Schumacher lined the entrance and hallway, paired with a rare signed vintage David Marshall mirror over an antique Swedish bombé chest — the first nod to the eclectic 80s.

Woven alongside the Hollywood Regency/80s glam aesthetic was a quieter narrative: the four elements. Earth: a bespoke ombré stair runner in soft dark citrine, lightening with each step and arched at the half landing to hint at something just around the corner. Air: Philip Jeffries Japanese washi paper on the walls and ceilings of the main living spaces — a metallic silver base with a delicate cloud-like overlay, subtly bouncing light throughout. Water: Jennifer Shorto's "A Journey Through Japan" creating an immersively relaxing guest bedroom that felt womblike. Fire: the smoky energy of the moiré textile covering almost every surface of the primary suite. Each bedroom had its own distinct personality — from the transportive calm of the Shorto room to the Memphis-inspired teen dream with Schumacher's Deconstructed Stripe and vintage 80s lighting — yet colour and deliberate echoes tied them together, standing comfortably adjacent as a cohesive family.

The primary bedroom was the showstopper: a fully re-created monochromatic moiré fantasy inspired by Slim Aarons' 1950s photograph of Joan Collins in her powder pink bedroom. A bespoke asymmetrical swag canopy crowned the custom-designed bed, swathed in textiles chosen to shimmer, seduce, and surprise. The fabric's moiré texture — plus the 1950s Dean Martin song — gave the project its title.
