02. PROCESS
The design process began with a foundation of classic Victorian elements—ornate moldings, rich wood finishes, and custom wall treatments like wainscoting and paneling. Dark-patterned wallpapers were carefully selected to add mood and depth, creating a sense of drama and intimacy. These were balanced with lavish gold accents and layered textures to enhance the richness of the space. Modern design experimentation was thoughtfully integrated throughout, ensuring each element honored the era’s heritage while introducing unexpected flair. The result is a seamless blend where the historical and the contemporary amplify each other.
03. DECOR
Décor choices echo the opulence of Victorian style while embracing a modern edge. Furniture features carved details, velvet upholstery, and deep mahogany or ebony finishes, balanced with contemporary shapes and silhouettes. Lighting includes statement chandeliers and modern sconces that contrast beautifully with traditional backdrops. Accessory elements—such as antique mirrors, gold-framed artworks, and bold sculptural pieces—contribute to the storytelling in each room. This design creates a striking visual experience that feels theatrical yet refined, blending drama with sophistication in a truly reimagined royal setting.
