Undecorate: The No-rules Approach to Interior Design by Christiane Lemieux

$20.00 NZD

Category: Interior design | Reading Level: very good

Jettison the old rulebooks about home decor and "undecorate" your space. As the founder and creative director of DwellStudio--which is famous for its brightly colored, graphic textile designs for home furnishings--designer Christiane Lemieux challenges tradition in a quintessentially American way, champ ioning a fresh, unconventional approach to creating a beautiful and comfortable home. Lemieux emboldens readers to push aside stuffy, professionally-designed decor, showing them instead how to infuse their own personality into their home. "Undecorate" profiles twenty homes from all over the country, revealing their owners' love of imperfection and penchant for surprise and unusual juxtapositions while inspiring readers to follow their own whimsy and practicalities in their personal spaces. An anglophile creates an English manor in Hollywood, mixing British flea-market finds with midcentury furniture.

A couple transforms a log house in Nashville, Tennessee, by blending their modern and eclectic styles with the home's rustic charm. Though the designs differ widely, the spaces all express an open-minded attitude. Some homes embrace their contexts, while others transcend them. All are shaped by instinct and imagination and share innovative ideas that readers can use to organically and elegantly create their home to match their lifestyle and tastes. Lemieux gets to the essence of the homeowners' distinctive styles, pinpointing the transformative ideas, thoughtful details, and useful solutions that make each home memorable. With more than 200 full-color photographs, "Undecorate" will both inspire and guide homeowners to a new outlook on home design. ...Show more
