‘Sleeping Beauty,’ revisited. For 15 years of rooms we love, the 2018 Kips Bay Decorator Show House. We wrapped the room in a custom hand-painted celadon garden wallpaper by GRACIE, then let porcelain flowers by Vladimir Kanevsky bloom along the walls. More than a place to sleep, it was designed as a bedsit, somewhere to read, write, sip a drink, or take a meal. Beauty and comfort, together.

Continuing our celebration of fifteen years of rooms we love, we are revisiting “Sleeping Beauty,” the bedroom we created for the 2018 Kips Bay Decorator Show House in New York.

The inspiration for this room begins with our muse, Pauline de Rothschild, an American fashion designer, writer, and legendary tastemaker who spent much of her adult life in Paris. Her Paris home reflected the same sense of individuality she brought to everything she touched: refined but unexpected, with beautiful French antiques, touches of chinoiserie, and an elegance that felt collected rather than composed.

For “Sleeping Beauty,” we enveloped the bedroom in a custom hand-painted celadon garden wallpaper by Gracie Studio, creating an immersive backdrop that wrapped the entire space. The garden continued through delicate porcelain flowers by the extraordinary artist Vladimir Kanevsky, which we displayed on brackets along the bedroom walls. Together, the wallpaper and porcelain flowers gave the room a romantic, almost dreamlike quality.

The concept for the room was also inspired by the idea of a bedsit, a bedroom conceived not simply as a place to sleep, but as a room to truly live in: somewhere to read a book, write a note, have a drink, or even eat a meal. It is an idea embraced by some of the chicest tastemakers—Annette de la Renta, Stephen Sills, Nicky Haslam, Sir John Richardson, and, of course, Pauline de Rothschild.

Our Kips Bay room was a wonderful example of how an interior can be entirely beautiful while remaining deeply comfortable: a velvet chair tucked into the corner, piles of books and magazines within reach, and a sense that everything was meant to be used and enjoyed. A great room should do more than look beautiful, it should inspire and energize the person who spends time there. Years later, “Sleeping Beauty” remains a reminder that the most memorable rooms balance beauty and imagination with comfort and a deeply personal point of view.

All in the details: walls and banquette are wrapped in green Kashmir Paisley fabric from QUADRILLE. Brass swing-arm sconces from Besselink & Jones with rattan shades add character, while a round garden table from Iatesta Studio Handmade Furniture & Lighting offers a cool, white counterpoint to the paisley.

Save this for your next summer-inspired moment. 💚

In this Florida powder room, Iksel Decorative Arts’ Kublilai’s Tent in Green transforms a small space into something transportive. Striped walls rise into a tented ceiling, while lighting by Iatesta Studio Handmade Furniture & Lighting with pleated shades in Brunschwig & Fils fabric adds another layer of pattern and soft green. The decorative border and thoughtful details create a room that feels intimate and unexpected. A reminder that even the smallest spaces can make a lasting impression.

All in the Details: This Miami room moves like a garden, with layered pattern, rich greens, and handwork that never shouts. A campaign desk wrapped in palm chintz sits beside an inlaid chair by Charles Jacobsen, Inc, finished with silk tassels from Samuel & Sons. Every detail brings the breezy spirit of the garden indoors.
