Style by Saladino

John Saladino is one of the world's most respected interior designers. His design principles are rooted in clasical architecture, yet he creates interiors & gardens with a pleasing, contemporary feel admired the world over. He believes that, no matter where you live, it is possible to make the home feel like a sanctuary, the garden like Arcadia, & in this, his first book, he reveals his design secrets. Dividing the book into two parts, he first addresses perennial design problems; how to link a series of rooms so that each flows naturally into the next; how to use accessories to give an illusion of space; how to make the most of natural light; how to use color; & how to pare away unnecessary details to create order & balance. Each chapter deals with examples from both the home & the garden. Throughout the book, he looks at world-famous interiors & gardens (from Pompeii & Palladio in Italy to Syon House in London & Lincoln Center in New York) & cleverly translates their schemes & principles into practical design solutions. The second part of the book focuses on some of Saladino's most impressive creations around the world. Sumptuously illustrated with over 180 color photographs & drawings, Style by Saladino is a thrilling exploration of this masterful designer's unique sensibility.John F.
