Hers is a world of romantic elegance: European antiques, Italian painted furniture, columns and urns found throughout, without a nod to contemporary style. For that she does not apologize. “You must stay true to who you are,” says Moss. “You can’t go from Regency to Lucite.”
After a lifetime of decorating others’ homes, last year Moss decided to temporarily stop working with clients to focus on her licensing business, an empire that includes home fragrances, fabrics, wall coverings, bedding, carpets, case goods, china and scenic mural wallpaper. “It was time to listen to myself and set priorities,” she says. One of those priorities is to build a total home lifestyle brand. As a decorator, she has spent her career building interiors around her clients’ lives, taking into consideration “what they eat, read, how they entertain, and even how they dress,” Moss says. “Once you design a house for someone, you want them to look good in it.”
