Celerie Kemble To Your Taste: Creating Modern Rooms with a Traditional Twist

By Nick Tosches

Book Overview

Celebrate what's beautiful about traditional style while breaking some of its rules: Take a page out of a designer's book and add your own sense of relaxed whimsy and exuberant personality to create spaces that are versatile, original, and truly livable. That's designer Celerie Kemble's philosophy in a nutshell. It's all about blending a classic sensibility with a dose of irreverence and a dollop of humor to achieve a home that's tasteful, eclectic, always evolving, and always welcoming. Celerie takes you by the hand, gives you a detailed look at many of her signature interiors, and enthusiastically reassures you that, with the right information and attitude, you can overcome challenges and artfully achieve the ultimate design goal--a perfect blend of beauty and comfort. From finding inspiration in childhood memories, current trends, and favorite belongings to working around real-life design dilemmas (such as a lack of space or light, or awkward floor plans) to selecting just the right furnishings (including rugs, lamps, and accessories), Celerie Kemble: To Your Taste infectiously proves that when making a beautiful home, the process is the best part.

Customer Reviews

A noteworthy addition to my 'designer' book collection!

I consider myself an amateur 'interior designer,' and this book, like the others I have, presents the particular designer POV. Some of the rooms are way out of my price range, but I use the photos as suggesting different ways of seeing and displaying the objects in rooms in a whole new light. I would highly recommend it!
