In this episode of the Trends Property Insight Series, we sit down with Dan Moir, Sales Director at James Dunlop Textiles, to explore how fabric, texture, and thoughtful design can transform a home from a space that looks good into one that feels truly liveable. With over a century of heritage and innovation behind the brand, Dan brings both deep family roots and forward-thinking industry knowledge to a conversation that ranges from aesthetics to performance and everything in between.
Dan shares how James Dunlop’s three brands—Mokum, James Dunlop Textiles, and the innovation-led Sepal—are leading the way with purposeful design, championing not just beauty but durability, sustainability, and well-being. He explains how their global perspective, anchored in local insights, enables them to develop products that cater to the unique lifestyle and environmental needs of New Zealanders, including high UV resistance, stain resistance, antimicrobial properties, and acoustic performance.
We delve into the evolving role of textiles in the home, from curtains that provide insulation and sound absorption, to innovative wallpaper that offers easy, long-lasting alternatives to paint, to upholstery that withstands pets, kids, and daily life. Dan also provides valuable advice for homeowners navigating the overwhelming world of fabric selection, highlighting how professional guidance can help bring Pinterest dreams to life without compromising functionality.
With warmth and clarity, Dan unpacks the relationship between texture and wellness, the emotional impact of layered materials, and how good design can elevate both comfort and resale value. Whether you're renovating, building, styling, or simply curious, this conversation offers a wealth of insights into how textiles can quietly but powerfully shape the way we live.
