What I love about this "Rooms to Inspire" series is the books give you novel ideas and fresh design images with which to decorate and update your rooms. This new addition to the series is a delight. Taste is all about exposure, and this book exposes readers to current, sophisticated, exotic and eclectic interiors around the world by top designers/stylemakers including Mary McDonald, Jonathan Adler, and Peter Dunham. I particularly loved Carolina Irving's New York City apartment.
The rooms featured should stretch your parameters of style which is positive. The photos will nerve your courage to infuse a jolt of something interesting in any tired, boring or cliched rooms you feel you have at home. Good design is an expression of the owner's personality, and the rooms in this book have a strong sense of personality. No cookie-cutter copies. And although they are city rooms, much of the decor could be adapted to homes of suburban or country dwellers as well, as the cover photo, which is a particular favorite of mine, illustrates.
The book has a small section on decorating with books and city kitchens which might be appealing to many readers. While I'd seen a couple of the rooms in this book in design magazines before, they looked even better in this book. The color is vibrant--you felt you could just walk into the pages and sit down in the rooms. This book is a great resource book of fresh, cosmopolitan, and tantalizing rooms under one cover to inspire and challenge you. If you liked the other "Rooms to Inspire" books by the author, you should enjoy this latest addition to the family.Get more detail about Rooms to Inspire in the City: Stylish Interiors for Urban Living.
