Description
Design inspiration from around the world translated into ideas for everyone’s home.
Showcasing her expertise in color, pattern, and good design wherever she goes, Salk translates chic hotel décor, restaurant table settings, museum walls, and charming courtyards observed on her travels into inspiration and ideas for home interiors.
Organized into chapters such as Chic Color Combinations, Worldly Walls, Elegant Entertaining, and Public Spaces & Private Style, the book pairs Salk’s travel photos alongside images showing how she translated design inspiration into her own décor. From brightly colored doorways on a cobblestone street in London and whimsical containers used as flower planters in Istanbul, to jewel-toned museum walls hung with antique paintings in Lisbon and restaurant tabletops set with locally made ceramics and woven table linens in Athens, Salk’s magpie eye appreciates every detail.
She then recreates her favorite vignettes back home, showing us how to artfully incorporate these colors and compositions into our home interiors and to integrate far-flung tablescapes and floral displays into our dinner party decor.
Paired with Salk’s encouraging tips, this book inspires us to pay attention, wherever we are, to the details and textures that can add richness and personality to any interior, perfectly demonstrating that there’s a world of inspiration for design ideas.
