SEAN SYMINGTON: THE WITHDRAWING ROOM

In the Withdrawing Room, a masterful curation of dramatically fringed drapery, tailored border banding, and countless tasteful touches in between adorn every opportunity for detail. Sat at the center of the room, a chestnut brown sofa is skirted with the Sophie Bullion Fringe in Walnut accented with a layer of Le Jardin Silk Gimp in Cork. Cushions above feature Orsay Silk Ribbed Border banding in Gold Melange, paired with coordinating Aurelia Cord seams in Honey. A central pillow features the same Ribbed Border banding, flanked by throw pillows framed with the Aurelia Brush Fringe in Surf.

 

To the left, an accent armchair echoes the sofa's skirt with a tailored Kensington Braid in Walnut. The pillow above features a curated pairing of Inca Brush Fringe in Mesa and Aristotle Greek Key in Chocolate.

 

Darling details are sprinkled throughout the room, including a Bagatelle Key Tassel in GIlded Gold by Timothy Corrigan hung from a key to a chest of drawers.

 

The room is wrapped in pattern on pattern, and drapery is distinguished from the matching wallpaper by Kensington Onion Tassel Fringe leading edges in Golden Surf. Each is held back by a Sophie Tassel Tieback in Glass. The walls are defined by a French Grosgrain outline in Seafoam, which also crosses the ceiling, meeting at the central light.

 

Table lamps illuminate the corners of the room, skirted by the Palais Tassel Fringe in Oro. Mirrored sconces above the sofa feature the Bagatelle Tassel Fringe in Dewdrop. Both capture the rooms palette in a mix of aqua and gold. A final touch of teal, the Rouen Tassel Fringe in Tourmaline skirts a timeless table skirt, subtle drama that rounds out this sumptuously layered room.

 

STUDIO ENASS: GARDEN FOLLY ROOM

A feast for the eyes from a lavish lounge. The first encounter of fringe unexpectedly lives on a cocktail table cleverly skirted with a unique application of Margaux Beaded Bullion Fringe in Forêt.

 

Throw pillows opposite build on the room's aureate wall panels with the Romaunt Embroidered Border and Blocked Brush Fringe in Rossetti Crimson by And Objects. Ruched bolster pillows are finished with a pairing of Normandy Silk Rosettes and Key Tassels in Rouge, framed by bands of Aurelia Crete in Bordeaux and Gold.

 

Roll-up shades are held in place by a final decorative flourish of Margaux Gimp and coordinating Key Tassels in Forêt. The room is crowned by the Orsay Silk Ribbed Border in Cherry, Coral, and Gold, which underscores the cornice molding.

 

SARA COSGROVE: THE MORNING ROOM

 

The Morning Room from this year's WOW!house is tonal masterpiece. Sophie Bullion Fringe in Glass adds a classic monochromatic skirt to the sculptural sofa, embellished by a captivating layer of Romaunt Beaded Fringe in Waterhouse Blue by And Objects. Echoing this accent, coordinating Romaunt Rosettes punctuate each sofa arm.

 

Patterned throw pillows are softly finished by the Ashton Cord in Springhouse Mist. Framing the entrance into the adjoining room, the Délicat Silk Tassel Fringe in Lilac adds a subtle third shade to the leading edge of the drapery, held back by an Aquarelle Single Tassel Tieback in Water.

 

HENRI FITZWILLIAM-LAY: THE BEDROOM SUITE

In the Bedroom Suite from this year's WOW!house, drapery is outlined with the contrast of La Terre Brush Fringe in Snow, gathered back by Saisons Tassel Tiebacks in Canvas, pairing fluidity with the timeless formality of a classic tassel.
