Introduction
I have waited a long time to write this book; I guess I’ve been a little reluctant to come to the end of a project I’ve dreamed about for so many years. Details may seem like a small subject, but these finishing accessories are by far the most important part of decorating. People’s lives are expressed by little details. They give a room its soul.
Too often people go to a lot of trouble to create a perfect room and stop just before they’ve made it truly theirs. These final steps can include everything from arranging a wonderful tabletop, creating wallscapes, and adding the interest of books, to the smallest touches, such as locating the right scented candle or choosing the perfect fringe for a pillow. Details are like the frosting on the cake, and who doesn’t like frosting best?
Examining the way people dress is an excellent place to study the effect of details. People express who they are and what they like by the things they wear. Bold necklaces show a bold spirit. Cowboy boots and big silver buckles say it all. My sister Francie’s ever curious, outgoing personality shines through her unusual and wonderful glasses. Despite the limitations of jackets and slacks, I can express my love of fabric with my pocket handkerchiefs and bow ties.
In the same way, the details of a room create its identity. The accessories we display, their color and texture, abundance or restraint, similarity or variety, combine to establish a unique personality for each room. The way we put them together is art. It’s what it’s all about.
Some of my favorite rooms are densely layered. Silks with linens, checks with stripes, and florals with toiles—in the right hands—can be used in wonderful combinations in a single room. Objects from different countries and centuries add more layers of interest. I have been a standard bearer for all things French for much of my life, but when you cross borders and add English, Asian and Swedish influences, punctuated with contemporary pieces, you only enrich the mix.
Adding detail is the point where creating a special one-of-a-kind room happens. Every room can have its own mood, personality and charm. It’s up to us to create it. In Details, I’ll show you not just the results but the wonderful journey that is part of the process.
IntroductionTablescapesTablescapes
TablescapesRare tortoiseshell boxes that I have collected for more than forty years form the backbone of an outstanding tablescape.
When you are lucky enough to find the perfect table for a room, you’re just getting started. Whether it is a flawless antique or a spectacular contemporary piece, a table is, after all, meant to hold things. No matter how beautiful, a table looks lost with nothing on it. A tablescape—an artistic composition of accessories—provides the essential finishing detail.
At its best, a tablescape can be more than a grouping of
