In "Rooms to Inspire" twelve trendsetters bring a fresh point of
view to creating interiors for a spectrum of living spaces-from
houses to apartments and country retreats. This selective
group-some professional decorators and others renowned for their
taste making-includes Marian McEvoy, Kelly Wearstler, Muriel
Brandolini, Jonathan Adler, and Simon Doonan. They offer their own
very personal perspectives and advice using their own homes as
examples-many published here for the first time. These intimate and
inviting, absolutely non-formulaic interior spaces express the
personal style of these highly creative individuals. Today's
designers show how to experiment freely with every detail. This
extraordinary sampling features the designers' own homes, ranging
stylistically from the theatrical to eclectically modern. Common
design issues such as color, balance, and comfort, as well as
innovative approaches to kitchens and bathrooms are addressed. The
designers also offer their favorite resources. This inspirational
guide for professionals and novices encourages us to infuse our
living spaces with style and personality.
The stunning venues in lush settings profiled here range in style
from the environmentally sustainable utilizing indigenous
materials, such as thatching and bamboo, to breezy courtyard
spaces. These homes take into account the dramatic natural
landscapes--some are surrounded by tropical plantings, while others
open onto dramatic sun-drenched beaches. The interiors incorporate
organic textures such as cane and bamboo furnishings, some covered
in exotic Indonesian fabrics, including ikat- and batik-style
textiles. Pool pavilions with decorative roof details are perfect
for outdoor entertaining, and infinity pools are presented as a
striking and organic part of the landscape. Beautifully
photographed, this will inspire readers with design ideas that can
be gleaned from these breathtaking dwellings.
