Decorate: Insider's Tips from Top Interior Designers

Michael Lassell, 2005

Each issue of Metropolitan Home magazine is filled with photographs of some of the world's most beautiful houses. But making your own home special isn't just about copying photos. Good designers have a vision of what they want to create, and come up with a plan for how best to achieve it. Understanding first the ideas, and then the methods, is the key to taking a house from drab to fabulous. In this book, Michael Lassell, who has been writing for Metropolitan Home since 1992, goes behind the photos. He uncovers the secrets of the professionals by asking: What did the designer want to do? And how did the designer do it? Each room or style is accompanied by insider's tips where designers reveal their trade secrets. In each case, introductory text explores the homeowner's and designer's goals. The book also explores how they achieved those goals: a «key to the style» box explains the designer's approach with a few key concepts; and «What the Pros Know About» boxes explains how the designer went from ideas to reality. With 200 color photographs, Decorate provides all the inspiration and expertise to help any home decorator find and achieve high style. Подробнее

Metropolitian Home Design 100

Michael Lassell, 2010

From its earliest days Metropolitan Home magazine grew into the standard bearer for contemporary home design in the US and became an active participant in reshaping the way Americans live. Always on the forefront of new trends, yet never elevating fashion over substantive style, Met Home championed creative re-use of old buildings, the opening up of homes to light, the reinvention of mid-century modernism, the green revolution in architecture, and the new big mix in interior decoration. Many of the designers and architects featured in its pages went on to become household names and leaders of the design profession. A favorite annual issue known as the Design 100 honored superlative invention and creativity in international design. Metropolitan Home Design 100 will focus on the best homes and the best rooms ever to have appeared in Met Home — as well as scores of new locations and never-before-published photographs. Each of the 100 houses, apartments, lofts, rooms, or design details included in the book is the greatest of something, and each has been created by one of the top designers or architects of our time. The 100 taken as a whole have been curated in the spirit of Met Home: lively, beautiful, accessible, aspirational, real. Metropolitan Home ceased publication with its December 2009 issue, but the spirit, the vision, and the legacy of the magazine lives on, in this book, in the hearts of thousands of loyal followers and in the way we live now. Metropolitan Home Design 100 is a celebration, a valediction, and a gift to anyone who loves modern design. Подробнее
