I thoroughly enjoyed this month's issue of
House Beautiful, especially fun was this breakdown of the most seen design styles today
. Do you gravitate towards one? I'd say I'm an even blend of "The Glams" + "The Accessorators" with a bit of "The Ruralists" here and there for natural beauty and texture!
The Glams:As defined in H.B.: Sexy, intense, theatrical. More is more: Turn up the color volume, pile on the bling, add a little Baroque or Roman Empire. The Gods: Kelly Wearstler, Tony Duquette, Jamie Drake, and Diamond-Baratta.
The New Victorians:As defined by H.B.: AKA Steampunkian. The moody hipster, via East London or Seattle. Dark, Atmospheric, smoky, layeread. The found object, the reliquary, is king. Essential: The Edison Bulb. The Gods: Roman and Williams Architects.
The Accessorators:
The Ruralists:
As defined by H.B.: Global Country, pure, sophisticated, modern. Key Words: Artisanal, handmade, locavore. Must Haves: Fire Bowl or outdoor room, miles of linen. The Gods: Axel Vervoordt. McAlpine Tankersley Architects. Go to blogs:
