Interior designer David Jimenez has lived and worked in Paris for
years, where he s celebrated for his distinctive and sophisticated
interiors. With a classic and modern style, Jimenez creates the
type of chic French-influenced interiors that so many of us aspire
to. And in these pages he imparts ideas and inspiration for how we
can design our own space with French flair. Organised by project,
the book features Jimenez s interiors in France (including his own
incredible pied-a-terre on Ile Saint-Louis as well as his new
fixer-upper chateau north of Paris) as well as the United States.
From grand nineteenth-century Parisian apartments to more
contemporary spaces in New York and San Francisco, Jimenez shows us
how to create elegant and romantic spaces by layering in art and
books, textures and colours, along with distinctive antiques and
our own collections. The last part of the book contains an elegant
how-to section sharing Jimenez s secrets and tips for decorating in
the French style, including: Essential French Colors, Modern French
style, and How To Hang Art along with tips for designing a small
apartment, creating chic arrangements, and finding the best
antiques and materials. Also included is a source section of
Jimenez s favourite Paris and New York flea markets, antique
dealers, and art galleries. With stunning photography and inspiring
texts, Decorate as the Parisians Do is a dream for style
Francophiles, or anyone looking to artfully decorate their home,
wherever they may live.
In their first book, Stamps and Stamps share their passion for
historical references and attention to detail, showing you how to
create a mood with floral patterns, brimming bookshelves, and
overstuffed armchairs. These interiors inspire you to create your
own personal sanctuary by layering your favourite objects and
vintage treasures into your decor to create lovely and personal
rooms. Above all, Stamps and Stamps show you how to make your home
comfortable, as they believe houses are for living in, not just for
looking at. With a focus on Southern California, where they live,
Stamps and Stamps specialize in designing, decorating, and
restoring historic homes and gardens. From an Andalusian riad in
Hancock Park restored and deco-rated for Ellen DeGeneres, to a
newly built California ranch in Rolling Hills, to their own home
and garden in South Pasadena designed around a Greene and Greene
carriage house, Stamps and Stamps have built their style on an
aesthetic foundation rooted in the past but with a lightness and
wit that s very much of the present. With its beautiful photography
and helpful sourcing an appendix details where to find fabrics,
wallpaper, and lighting Stamps and Stamps is sure to inspire you to
embrace interior design that s easy to live in.
The first book on the work of a designer whose refined classical
interiors are widely desired and emulated as the epitome of French
style. Honored as one of the top designers by all the international
design magazines and universally admired by design editors,
Jean-Louis Deniot is in demand. His updated classical approach now
graces interiors in Paris, the French countryside, Moscow, India,
New York, Chicago, L.A., and beyond--and his legacy is already
being compared to that of design greats such as Jacques Grange and
Alberto Pinto. Deniot is an architect first, ensuring that the
interior architecture of his rooms is harmonious before giving a
neoclassical approach to the decor. He brings education, logic, and
design history to his work, with one eye looking at the most
refined style of French eighteenth century and one eye on the
twentieth and twenty-first centuries. His mix is highly individual
and includes contemporary art and custom-made furniture, yet his
rooms always look comfortable and are never overly formal or
trendy. This book demonstrates a new, sophisticated classical style
that is changing the scene for international design and offering
inspiration and ideas to decorators, homeowners, and antiques
enthusiasts.
