With his signature inimitable, eclectic style, American interior designer Wesley Moon is no stranger to crafting abodes that make an impact. Naturally, when it came to his own home, the results were nothing short of stunning. Still, Moon, who is also a trained architect, has a confession to make: Designing my own home was difficult because there are so many different styles I love, and it was hard for me to narrow it down.
The historic apartment is located in one of the last pre-war buildings on Park Avenue in New York City's Upper East Side. The century-old structure features art moderne elements, a style from the 1930s in which American architects sought to create streamlined designs inspired by classical architecture using geometry and curving forms.
Drawing on his personal passion for travel and history as well as the building's architectural origins, Moon focused on showcasing historic influences in a contemporary manner. My designs reflect a balance of contemporary and eclectic pieces, as well as a colour palette and materials that exemplify both comfort and intrigue, he elaborates. The result is a unique space that is timeless, elegant, and reflects the homeowner's personal taste.
In a home so lovingly detailed with carefully sourced art, furnishings, textures, and patterns, turning every corner requires a thoughtful pause to take it all in. Still, a standout vignette resides in the ornate dining room, where a custom De Gournay Sicilian panoramic wallpaper on a gilded background sets the scene for lavish gatherings.
