Within these pages, acclaimed stylist Erin Swift offers a look at the exquisite homes of renowned designers, architects, and artists, simplifying the elements that define each room, such as color, art and furnishings, objects and accents, structure, and texture. Sharing the homeowner’s visions, she also highlights hundreds of fascinating and unconventional decorating details that you can draw inspiration from: Hang vintage board games - or a collection of clocks, each set to the time in a favorite travel destination - on the wall. Balance impressive architecture with slipcovers in primary colors. Highlight antiques by tucking them into a kitchen or bathroom - and display crystal or a stack of books like everyday sculpture. Elevate a pitched ceiling or a corner with artwork to make an event out of a space that would otherwise be overlooked Galleries featuring dozens of choices for molding, stone and tile flooring, frames, paint colors, doorknobs, and textiles offer even more ways to add a French touch.
