　　Spectacular in scope yet intimate in detail, The Way We Live

transcends the archetypal style book to reveal global connecti***

and patterns in home decoration. This unique body of detailed

design inspiration encompasses the full range of opti***, from

climate, location, and size to surfaces, arrangements, and colors.

Whether you’re decorating a beach house in Chile or a loft space in

Paris, you’re sure to be inspired by hundreds of images from around

the world—a Moroccan house that coolly mixes the modern and

traditional in elegant interiors; a dramatic arrangement of shells

decorating a tabletop in Mauritius; flowers strewn across bare

floorboards for a Christmas feast in Sweden. The enormous range of

places here highlight connecti*** and parallels of very different

habitats in a way both striking and reassuring. The same attention

to detail can clearly inform the layout of a dining room in a

modest Mexican home as it does an exclusive club in Buenos Aires.

This encyclopedic tome, a sublime visual record of how we c***truct

and adorn our living spaces, celebrates our communal experience of

the home.

From coastal hamlet to urban center, design expert Stafford Cliff

compares architectural styles and decorating details from every

corner of the world, whether it is a modest adobe dwelling whose

contours complement those of the earth or a skysc***r of glass and

steel that contrasts the natural terrain. The ingenuity of each

culture shines through in the instinctive use of colors and

materials, and in the way the spaces are inhabited.

The world tour of interior design elements and accents is

lavishly presented in more than 1,000 glorious color p***ographs by

famed lifestyle p***ographer Gilles de Chabaneix. Humble yet

interesting structures, objects, and settings are all viewed with

the same eye as the grandest homes, the rarest antiques, or the

most exclusive addresses. From an unadorned Vietnamese sitting room

to a bustling Neapolitan street market; a modern London flat to a

baroque drawing room in Versailles; an Indian palace to a Chilean

café, here is a world where old and new, ***anic and synthetic,

happily coexist. And within these interiors, a myriad of choices

and inspirati*** are seen in the contrasts between stark simplicity

and sumptuous embellishment, minimal modernism and rococo splendor,

the self-c***ciously urbane and the authentically rustic, the

uniform and the eclectic. Fabrics, textures, and ornamental details

reflect the complexity of different spaces and lifestyles, spurring

countless ideas for personal self-expression. It seems that the way

we live is not always defined by where we live.

Commentary on communal open space, which connects us to one

another, and a meticulous guide to sources and materials round out

this ultimate treasury. Both beautiful and practical, The Way We

Live is much more than a decorating guide—it is a design for

living.
