De Gournay X Erdem Chinoiserie Wallpaper

Is it really May already? This is my favorite time of the year. I’m inspired to lighten up my perspective with softer, airy colors, organic elements and floral motifs. I want to share some of my favorite trends that reflect the renewal and freshness of the season.

Bokja Hand Embroidered Pillow

Embroidered Headboard and Cushion by Bokja

Embroidery

Embroidery weaves seamlessly into interiors, adorning everything from curtains and headboards to upholstery and even wallpaper. The intricate patterns and meticulous craftsmanship can transform pieces from ordinary to unique works of art, injecting spaces with layers of texture and luxury. Embroidered textiles elevate interiors into the realm of haute couture.

TOGO Sofa by Ligne Roset

Vintage

It’s so important to be mindful of reducing our environmental impact. Sustainability should be every season’s hottest trend! I always try sourcing from platforms like 1st Dibs and Chairish, where I can find a vast selection of vintage and antiques dealers from around the world.

I also applaud furniture companies that embrace reuse. Christofle has a dedicated team for sourcing, verifying, and restoring vintage pieces, while Ligne Roset RE has a team committed to the second-hand TOGO sofa market.

As Jean-Louis Dumas, former director of Hermes, said, "A real luxury product is the one that can be repaired." I couldn't agree more.

Voyage Botanique Wallpaper by Ananbô

Wallpaper

Selecting wallpaper can be an overwhelming process, but choosing the right one can truly transform entire rooms (walls, even ceilings!) into works of art. For panoramic wallpaper scenes, I like House of Hackney, Ananbô, and Nobilis. For Flower Power, go for Schumacher, Little Greene, or Coordonne’s Spring Festival. For more bold and graphic patterns, I recommend Pierre Frey, Elitis, Arte, and Casamance.

Whichever avenue you choose to explore, incorporating thoughtful details into your home will enhance your space and introduce a fresh and vibrant spirit of Spring.
