Bursting with color and dramatic focal points, these exceptional interiors offer exclusive access into the homes of Pariss finest art and antiques aficionados. The magic of Paris is distinctly captured in its interiors: windows are tall, and rooms have high ceilings with grand architectural details; but the real charm comes in the thoughtfully selected elements that bring those spaces to life. Paris is rife with antique collectors, art historians, architects, and interior designers who dedicate their lives to the contemplation of each element that goes into the ideal interior. Barbara and René Stoeltie invite us inside the private oases of twenty of the citys celebrated interiors gurus, capturing in vivid photographs these havens of perfection, brimming with inspiration for the home.

Past In Present is a book for lovers of interior design, architects and restorers; the exceptional photography shows both interiors and particular workshops, illustrating the perfect combination of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
Past In Present is a lavishly illustrated and luxurious book full of inspiration: the book shows interiors from the Netherlands and abroad and gives extra information about such applied disciplines as restoring, furniture making, patinating and forging. The interiors show a great love for tradition in a modern setting. In addition, the book also contains cultural and art historical information, which places the interiors in a historical frame.

Thong Lei and Anne Noordam are the founders and owners of Decoration Empire, a company specialised in interior architecture and building restoration that follows up interior design projects in the Netherlands and abroad. With a team of highly skilled workers, Decoration Empire focuses on the use of carefully selected materials, traditional techniques and art.

Patina Style celebrates the beauty that the passage of time brings to the things your life. The antique and imperfect and the slightly worn combined with natural materials and a subtle color palette create a look that is both timeless and fresh.

Brooke and Steve Giannetti embrace the life in things: a newel post worn smooth by touch: a leather trunk bearing scratches of global travel; velvet that is faded over time, silver that is subtly tarnished or a flowerpot wearing a covering of moss. This is the essence of the Patina design style.

The Giannettis reveal how they create the look, repurposing salvaged objects, bringing outdoor pieces inside, turning old treasures into something better than new. Lavish photography and a clear design philosophy will inspire you to see the beauty in everyday objects and to develop your own patina style.

Intermediate outdoor spaces, such as patios, porches, and verandas, require as much planning and forethought as the interior rooms of a house. To that end, Patios, Porches, and Verandas provides more than 300 photos of beautiful, inspiring spaces which link the outdoor landscaping of a home with its interior style. Designed to serve as additional living spaces, the examples shown in this book use a wide variety of lighting, furniture, and decorative elements to create unique and breathtaking outdoor rooms. Whether your porch overlooks a beach or garden, or your patio is situated next to a lake or a lush lawn, this book will provide you with hundreds of ideas from all over the world.

Looking for inspiration and direction in the design or remodel of your home? Clearly written and profusely illustrated, Patterns of Home brings you the timeless lessons of residential design. The 10 patterns described in the book -- among them, "capturing light" and "the flow through rooms" -- are drawn from hundreds of principles and presented with clarity by the authors, renowned architects who have designed homes together for more than 30 years. This book will jump-start the design process and make the difference between a home that satisfies material requirements and one that meets your personal needs of "home." Patterns of Home promises to become the "design bible" for homeowners and architects.
