Michael and Victoria Imperioli’s New York home is for the traditionalists. “We call it old-world chic,” says Victoria, who notes that their style is inspired by “a beautiful hotel suite.” This moody primary bedroom encapsulates their five-star style from the embroidered-silk bedding to the honey-velvet curtains. “The yellow in the bedroom is so that when you wake up, you always have this kind of sunshine,” says Victoria. The dark bedroom benefits from the brightness seen in the curtains and upholstered bed frame. Materials like velvet and silk reflect light, as does the crowning fish-eye mirror, which maintains levity in a somewhat serious space.
Flemish tapestries have been a designer go-to of late, like the one hung at the Imperiolis, with fans like Adam Charlap to Celerie Kemble to Pierce and Ward. As stylist Mieke ten Have explains, “Tapestries have a wonderful way of mooring a space, especially if they are large in scale.” Small or dark bedrooms (both, if you’re a New York City resident) might want to take a note or two from this book. McGee & Co’s tapestries are going for $330 if you’re looking to kick-start your hotel luxury suite style.
