Welcome to our latest blog post, contributed by the team at Moss Design. We were truly fortunate to have Meghan De Maria and Courtney Yanni join us at our recent office meeting, where they captivated us with tales of their recent trip to the enchanting city of Paris. As experts in luxury & colorful design, Meghan and Courtney shared invaluable insights into their approach to crafting exceptional experiences for their esteemed clientele.
"We had the incredible experience of traveling to Paris last month to visit Deco Off and Maison & Objet to preview new collections from an international cadre of fabric and furniture houses. While
we are not believers in following trends, as we feel your home should reflect your personal style and life experiences, we did notice many interesting themes in design that piqued our interest.

season and quiet luxury continues to evolve with highly textured fabrics like shearling,
soft wools and alpaca.

Europe has been sustainably aware for quite a while now, and we were glad to see that
sustainable design has taken a step forward with up-cycled lines, such as wallcoverings made
from magazines.

Overall, we were happy to see a return to decoration with luxe layers, colors, and patterns. We are
known for our bold and aspirational approach distinguished by our color confidence, thoughtful
space design, and highly personalized curation. We like to encourage our clients to step outside
of their comfort zones, stay away from sameness, one-dimensionality and being “safe” all while
feeling completely at ease and comfortable in their own homes."
