Years ago, when Martyn Lawrence Bullard visited Palm Springs for the first time, the English-born, Los Angelesbased designer stayed at the Colony Palms Hotel and Bungalows. The 1930s Spanish colonial retreat was a dreamy introduction to the desert city drenched in midcentury design, and Bullard was immediately smitten.Martyn Lawrence BullardPhoto: Sam Frost c/o The Shade StoreI fell in love with the beautiful warm air, its casual essence, and all the nods to Rat Pack history, Bullard tells AD PRO, so he kept returning weekend after weekend. And when a serendipitous flea market expedition yielded a pair of sconces that once adorned Frank Sinatras Palm Springs pad, Bullard knew it was time to splurge on a nearby home of his own to showcase those glam light fixtures.He chose a fantastical 1962 abode courtesy of set designer turned architect James McNaughton that Hugh Hefner and James Bond actor Roger Moore once lived in, and his connection to Palm Springs deepened. That special relationship to the citys landscape, culture, and intoxicating nostalgia are the impetus behind Bullards expanded collection of drapery, Roman shades, and cornices for the Shade Store, launching today.As though an extension of the midcentury wood paneling, the Cactus Weave fabric in Canyon offers an enveloping shade.Photo: Sam Frost c/o The Shade StoreRegister TodayAD PRO's 2025 Interior Design Forecast is almost hereArrowWhereas Bullards inaugural drop in 2021 is defined by the likes of traditional stripes that conjure dusty North African streetscapes and painterly European-style chinoiserie motifs, this time around multidimensional Palm Springs propelled him to take a more brazen approach. All of Bullards work is informed by his fashion-and-art-packed global travels, and now, hes incorporated those disparate inspirations because they fit the mold of my Palm Springs, he says.Uniting the quartet of designs is a sense of lightness, a freshness accentuated by a richness of tactility. I wanted something modern and exciting, and I think we pulled it off. This collection is very textural [and] super usable, and everything has these mixed yarns in them, says Bullard.Mixed yarns evoke texture and depth in the collection fabrics, as shown with layered Cactus Weave shades and curtains in Mirador Midnight and Indigo, respectively.Photo: Sam Frost c/o The Shade StoreNo matter how much I preach about color, at the end of the day most people still love cream and off-white, says Bullard, who curtains his Palm Springs living room in the Andreas fabric in Parchment.Photo: Sam Frost c/o The Shade StoreMirador evokes the rippling sand dunes, the views you see through windows in Palm Springs, he points out, while Cactus Weaves subtle movement calls to mind the opulent interiors of Sunnyland, the Rancho Mirage estate that William Haines designed in the 1960s. Desert Tweeds soft, fluid lines have the look of a chic haute couture garment that elicits not only Parisian runways but the extraordinary vintage stores in Palm Springs, adds Bullard, and Andreas, a reference to the idyllic Andreas Hills community, is a big patchwork.
