Interiors for a Life in Good Taste: Interiors for Living Well
A$81.35
A fresh perspective on classic American interior design and practical advice on living well in our modern world, in this much-anticipated work from a rising decorator.
Gidiere’s design aesthetic is a modern take on traditional interiors, using contemporary and antique furniture with backdrops of joyful color and pattern to create spaces that are both new and classical—florals, botanical prints, rush baskets, tailored stripes, well-stocked bars, books, and comfort abound. The decorator not only presents her decorating capabilities but also shares her talents as a hostess, giving ideas on how to live and entertain in her inviting rooms.
Gidiere’s style is sophisticated and charming, taking cues from such accomplished Southern designers as Charlotte Moss, Richard Keith Langham, and Celerie Kemble. The book is organized by the ways in which a home is planned and utilized: Social Life is centered on entryways, living rooms, and dining rooms—spaces that are designed to receive and welcome others. Private Life focuses on bedrooms, libraries, and studies—the sanctuaries of our day-to-day existences. Family Life reviews kitchens, breakfast rooms, dens, and playrooms—places that are the heart and soul of the house. The Good Life celebrates how a home can be used for hospitality and entertainment, inside and out. And, finally, My Life shows how Gidiere interprets the art of living well in her own home. Each section offers in-depth information on topics that include setting the table, keeping houseplants, stocking a bar, outfitting a guest room, and entertaining outdoors. Gidiere’s aesthetic salutes interior design of the past, while interpreting it for our lives today.
