WE SIMPLY ADORE the work of Los Angeles-based interior designer Mark D. Sikes, whose work has been featured here many times. His love of blue and white, chinoiserie and wicker, and classic style matches our own, and his work for the 2018 Kips Bay Show House, which he’s entitled Sleeping Beauty, surpasses all expectations. The sheer elegance and romance of the space is best described with the quote from his website, which encapsulates our thoughts perfectly:
“A custom hand-painted Gracie scene is the perfect backdrop for this bedroom that features Mark’s new fabric collection with Schumacher. Antiques from James Sansum that once belonged to C.Z. Guest and Bunny Mellon are mixed with 18th century European treasures from Carlton Hobbs. Mark’s Room is not only beautiful, it’s comfortable, inviting, the idea place to rest, to read a book, write a note, or even have a drink.
The room is full of timeless style, glamour and beauty, yet approachable, inviting and comfortable. Delicate porcelain flowers by Vladimir Kanevsky sit adjacent to modern art by Kit Reuther, but and white ikats mingle with chinoiserie, dhurries from England dance with gilt, batiks flirt with bullions, and stripes play along the side of layers and layers of trims and embroideries.”
