Gracious, elegant, sophisticated-words that appropriately describethe upscale shop called Julep's Home Décor. Filled with the graceful furnishings and refined accent pieces that are the hallmark of traditional décor, this shop specializes in interior design services.

And that's only part of what makes it special. For all its elegance and refinement, the friendly greeting and warm atmosphere make it clear that Julep's is not a stuffy, self-important shop, but rather a place that caters to customers.

Velvet, leather and brocade are among the sumptuous fabrics of upholstery and window treatments, enticing customers into a sensory experience. And whatever your mind conjures can be designed, as custom orders are their specialty.

Rich, dark woods shape all of Julep's furniture. With keen attention to detail, owner Sumaya Maghariaf has styled each area with these handsome furnishings and attractive accent pieces that lend an air of quiet elegance to your home.

From a beautiful, painted dresser with antique adornment to stately bookshelves bearing wonderful decorative items to the carved posts of a lovely bed, these pieces bear the dignified, yet relaxed appearance of British colonial furnishings.

Accessories co-star in this show, as their finesse meets the challenge of accompanying the urbane furniture. Custom designed floral arrangements mingle perfectly with decorative boxes, colorful ceramic pieces, metalwork, and much more.

And artwork is another distinguishing feature. Marvelous paintings-primarily, but not exclusively, pastoral scenes-are the crowning jewel of Julep's wall décor. And ornate mirrors add to this fine selection of wall hangings.

In lighting, uncommonly pretty lamps, topped by equally detailed shades, suffuse the room with cozy light. And majestic chandeliers offer understated grandeur.
