The No-Rules Approach to Interior Design
Jettison the old rulebooks about home décor and “undecorate” your space. Christiane Lemieux, founder and creative director of DwellStudio, challenges traditional design norms, advocating for a fresh approach to creating a beautiful and comfortable home. She encourages readers to set aside stuffy, professionally designed décor and infuse their own personalities into their spaces. The book profiles twenty homes across the country, showcasing their owners’ love for imperfection and unique juxtapositions, inspiring readers to embrace whimsy and practicality in their personal environments. From an anglophile creating an English manor in Hollywood with British flea-market finds and midcentury furniture, to a car enthusiast transforming a vintage Airstream trailer into a master bedroom in a Chicago loft, and a couple blending modern and eclectic styles in a rustic log house in Nashville, each home reflects an open-minded attitude. While designs vary, they all embody instinct and imagination, offering innovative ideas for homeowners to create spaces that resonate with their lifestyles and tastes. Lemieux captures the essence of each homeowner’s distinctive style, highlighting transformative ideas and thoughtful details. With over 200 full-color photographs, this work inspires a refreshing outlook on home design.
