YOUR SPACE, Your Style

Don’t let design rules

get you down— here’s how to create

a space that’s uniquely yours.

The world of interior design can be overwhelming, so it’s always appreciated when a book comes our way that breaks it down. Interior designer Sarah Richardson’s Collected: City and Country does just that. The book looks at a variety of different spaces and explores how good design can be livable and personalized, no matter what style it is.

START WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT

Throughout Collected, Sarah Richardson emphasizes the importance of fusing old with new, as she believes a home’s original features can be a wonderful source of inspiration and innovation. “Balance the best of what you started with,” she says, “and infuse it with new energy and ideas.” Even if everything in your space doesn’t fit together perfectly, it will be a space that’s curated just for you.
