Ethereal Drapery at a 19th Century English Manor

Luxurious drapery and curated fabric installations fell from the ceilings of a 19th century English manor to create an ethereal reception.

In a collision of old-world romance and modern minimalism, luxurious drapery fell from sprawling ceilings to frame an ethereal reception setting.

Amidst the West Midlands of England, swathes of decadent silks softened a 19th century manor, bringing a contemporary twist to the regal space. A hand-sculpted, knotted fabric installation spilled to the floor dramatically adorning the cake table.

The manor’s parquet flooring, ornate ceiling plasterwork, and antique lighting surrounded a candlelit tablescape, creating a moody, romantic ambience. The gentle play of light on sumptuous fabrics brought to life the richness of textures.

Leading the visionary team behind this reception was stylist Mose & and artist Mia Sylvia (both featured in The Lane Directory).

Mose &’s Styling Tips

Utilize fabric strategically to enhance lighting, creating a captivating and luminous ambiance. Drape fabrics near light sources, such as candles or fairy lights, to diffuse and scatter the light, producing a romantic ambience.
Experiment with different textures and colors to achieve desired effects—light-colored fabrics amplify brightness, while darker hues evoke a more intimate and cozy feel.
Venues with ceilings over five meters create an ideal space for installations. The added height enhances negative space, evoking an otherworldly feeling when gazing upward.
