With a foreword by Miles Redd, this luxurious decorating resource trains the eye to recognize enduring, quality home goods and to use them to dazzling design effect.
Quality matters. Just as a home’s foundation should be built to stand the test of time, so, too, should the furniture, objects, and elements of our rooms speak to an enduring sense of beauty and comfort. They should outlast trends and our loving day-to-day use. But how does one recognize quality and judge whether something is well made?
Christiane Lemieux set out to answer this question by interviewing the world’s greatest experts. Weaving together the insights and guidance of dozens of wallpaper and paint specialists, textile fabricators, accessories artisans, and interior designers, Lemieux has curated an unparalleled education in recognizing the hallmarks of timeless, heirloom-quality pieces. Hundreds of elegant home interiors—both iconic examples from the past and stunning residences today–represent the range of luxurious and customized environments that can be created with fine décor.

Lovely book overall, however the quality of the photographs used is inconsistent. Some are high-resolution at full-page, others are slightly low-resolution at this scale. This was a let down for me and I am contemplating returning the book. On one hand the book seems comprehensive, on the other hand it seems to depict a rather biased design style.

I like the layout of this book which gives helpful guidance on different interior design aspects. The most beautiful houses clearly shown, lovely illustrations just a pleasure to read.

I saw this stunning book in Chapters/Indigo for $75. This was $61. It arrived in less than 24 hours. I bought it as a decor piece. I had to hide the little cable box in a decorative jewelry box and elevated it with a couple of books. Itâs perfect with my gold and white bedroom decor. Book is pristine. Well packed in the box. The cover is textured, more of an orangey gold and creams. Lots of different styles and famous designers. A must have.
