A tropical, moody and mysterious love story. 

Inspired by a Wong Kar-Wai film, In the Mood for Love, our 2022 Kips Bay Show House space in Old Preston Hollow Estates in Dallas conjures the romance and intense emotions of Kar-Wai’s film sets. We achieved this with a custom-designed orchid-hued ombre runner crafted by The Rug Company, a collection of vintage and custom furnishings, and a leafy mural by Ananbô Papiers Peints Panoramiques of Paris. Titled “3AM Dream,” this luxe tropical lair instantly transports you. You can hear the palm leaves move, feel the thick air and imagine that you are out too late in a mysterious, sexy place.
