Guest Picks: Inspired by Scalamandre Zebras
Remember the first time you were introduced to Scalamandre’s zebra design? I do. Margot Tenenbaum’s bedroom in The Royal Tenenbaums, of course. At the time, I knew nothing of the brand or its history, but after one scene, I knew that I loved it. And now, years later, I have a house all my own and am on the lookout for a way to incorporate this classic design by Flora Scalamandre into my space. Whether it be with luxe fabric, bedding, dishes, wallpaper or even something inspired by the classic, rest assured that a few of these zebras are finding a way to come home with me! — Lani from Mon Petit Chou Chou
