Contents

  • A pop quiz : discover your style
  • Glam : a nervy mix of everything, from gilt to statuary, set off by bold brave color
  • New ruralist : natural materials play against the soulful patine of aged antiques and Mother Nature's perfect hues
  • Traditional with a twist : old-school silhouettes, patterns, and colors rooted in tradition, reinvented in fresh 21st-century ways
  • Modernist : clean lines, tailed detail, and luminous color deployed with an eye for the utmost balance and serenity
  • Accessorator : an audacious (yet perfectly composed) jumble of intricate pattern, vivid color, and very personal collections.
