About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Behind every beautiful interior is a sure sense of personal vision. From bungalows to city apartments, from a romantic garden house built in a weekend to artistic rooms that are always in progress this book shows how eighteen women designers choose to live-and how they create enriching and comfortable environment.

Whatever your decorating style, you'll discover a kindred spirit in Designers in Residence. One designer accommodates busy family life in an elegant home that takes wear and tear in stride. Another insists on red rooms: "Energy, passion, love of life-when you project that, you get it back." Another uses every corner to experiment with delicate line and color.

When refining your own look, the possibilities-classic formality, unbuttoned chic, ethereal whites, vibrant tones-are infinite, but how to decide? Informative text and exquisite color photographs show each designer's expertise-arranging furniture, selecting fabrics and paints, editing accessories, adding a serendipitous touch-and reveal just how she makes her own choices, and how you can too.
