If rooms could wear couture pieces, they’d no doubt be rocking The Vale London. Founded by artist and designer Melinda Marquardt, The Vale’s collections of textiles and wall coverings are the haute couture of interiors—richly layered, artfully drawn, and unabashedly beautiful. Each design begins as a hand-rendered work of art, informed by Melinda’s transcontinental travels and love of European elegance. The reverberation renders a collection that tells stories in pattern, that moves across scales and surfaces with fluidity and flair. At Ten Easy Street, The Vale brings polish, panache, and a painterly edge to our softer spaces.
Showstopper Vibes
Why: Because fabric should be more than fabric—it should be an experience. With The Vale London, Melinda Marquardt has created a studio where fine art meets fine living. Her work carries the refinement of Old World craftsmanship and the exuberance of modern design, each pattern drawn by hand before being transformed into lush, livable textiles. It’s a collection born of travel, storytelling, and a belief in beauty that resonates beyond trend—a celebration of interiors as canvases.
What: In the Florence Suite, The Vale’s textiles add a layer of romance and unexpected flair. Think embroidered linens that feel like heirlooms, silk-inspired draperies with a painter’s touch, and prints that borrow from Baroque flourishes and contemporary abstraction. The artistry lies not only in the visual complexity, but in the impeccable hand-feel and versatility—pieces that elevate the everyday into something quietly magnificent.
Where: Within the Florence Suite, The Vale London’s presence is felt in the folds of the drapery, across accent pillows, and upholstered pieces that whisper of elegance and imagination. It’s a room that reads like a well-traveled wardrobe—tailored, expressive, and utterly transportive—thanks in no small part to The Vale’s ability to turn textiles into poetry.
