An Inspirational Journey with De Gournay
Known for their exquisite, hand-painted and hand-beaded wallpapers and fabrics, de Gournay is a master of bringing timeless elegance to modern spaces. Walking into their LA showroom last May felt like stepping into a world of art, history, and imagination all at once. As designers, our approach has always centered around creating curated experiences that foster joy for our clients and ourselves. So when we had the chance to introduce a client to de Gournay’s bespoke wallpapers, we knew it could be a transformative moment in their residential project.
From lush floral chinoiseries to intricate damasks and scenic landscapes, each wall tells a story.
From degournay.com:
Our artisans are artists. Each of our wallpapers, our fabrics and our porcelain is a unique work of art. In a hundred years’ time, they will be sold at auctions as valuable antiques. Each artist leaves a part of his soul in their creation and it is this ‘spirit resonance’ that distinguishes our work from machine made replicas.The ability to customize every element—from the color of the background to the size and style of the design—means we can create something entirely personal and tailored to their lifestyle. It’s a reminder that in interior design, every detail counts. Sometimes, the walls themselves become a canvas for storytelling, turning a home into a living work of art.
