Out Of The Ordinary
A fall party in an English garden is always memorable, but especially so when it celebrates MILIEU’s 10th anniversary.
Larger Than Life
Nature is in full bloom, and in these wallpapers, art truly imitates life. Patterns of flowers and plants—whether the details are realistic or abstract—bring the spirit of spring to life and into your home.
An Embroidered Past
Centuries ago, nomadic tribespeople in Central Asia made large-scale, hand-embroidered textiles for their yurts, or tents. The colorful patterns, made with vegetal dyes, often depict flowers and dowries, where they have been thought to represent, and to bring, good luck, health, long life and fertility. Today's suzanis, antique or new, continue to bring life and vibrancy into your home.
The Great Cover-Up
Slipcovers allow you to make changes at home without making changes—or much of one. Old furniture becomes new. Add tassels and piping, trims and fringes, skirts and pleats to the slipcover, and the possibilities for transforming furniture and the rooms in which they figure become even greater—as Katrin Cargill, MILIEU's European Style Editor, proves here.
Curated Collectibles
When grouped well and thoughtfully, our treasured collections of objects and accessories assume a poetic presence in the home
Dutch Treats
Timeless still lifes of the seventeenth century revealed in precise detail the luxuries and bounty of the Dutch Republic. We recreated those genre paintings with fine jewelry of today.
Off The Wall
Much has taken place in England’s Haddon Hall, whose origins date to the twelfth century. Never before, though, has the manor house been populated with figures dressed in garments made of fine wallpapers. It’s a new chapter in the house’s history.
Tea Towels & Tabletops
Tea towels and tableware go hand-in-hand at the kitchen sink.
Hats Off
