描述
In her first design book, Taylor shows readers how to embrace a lifestyle of classic elegance, both within the home and in the landscape beyond.
“Dripping with quintessential traditional style,” the interiors of Traditional Home Rising Star Taylor are luminously beautiful. Her layered, thoughtful, and welcoming rooms are informed by her time living in California, on the East Coast, and in Paris, as well as her belief that the best spaces have meaning and purpose. Creating a home always involves building a narrative of family, personality, and place, and each one must be both functional for everyday life, as well as nourishing for the soul.
The book showcases eight projects that are refined yet livable. From an alpine-chic ranch to a sophisticated penthouse to a historic renovation to her own graceful and expansive family house situated among stunning mountains, the book offers readers an array of architectural and interior styles and inspiration. As a keen gardener who places priority on where a home should sit on a site, Taylor also shows readers how to relate their homes to the natural world in the surrounding environment, bringing readers into many of the gardens, pools, and other exquisite outdoor spaces she designs with her clients. In addition, the book features essays on such topics such as where to begin when designing your home, the importance of the indoor-outdoor connection, and how to paint with pattern.
