Slow Style Home: Decorating Personal, Meaningful Interiors

Creating Palettes and Composing Rooms Through a Slow Style Lens with Jewel Marlowe

Zandra Zuraw, Jewel Marlow Season 38

In this episode, I welcome back designer Jewel Marlowe, whose work is bold, layered, and always intentional. We dig into how she builds palettes using color, pattern, and materials—and why contrast matters just as much as cohesion. Jewel breaks down how she mixes unexpected elements (like leopard print and florals) and why visual weight and scale play such a big role in how a room feels. She shares examples from her own evolving home and current client projects, all while staying rooted in meaning and play. If you’re drawn to the idea of decorating over time with confidence and creativity, this one’s for you.
