Domino: The Book of Decorating

November 6th, 2008 at 05:00am Lindsey

In honor of the Domino book signing event tonight at Great Jones Home, we thought we would tell you more about the much-anticipated book. Domino: The Book of Decorating, is subtitled, "A room-by-room guide to creating a home that makes you happy." To help you to that end, three of the editors—Deborah Needleman, Sara Ruffin Costello and Dara Caponigro—created a valuable compendium of some of the best homes featured on the magazine’s pages. They also explain why each room works and what tips could be gleaned from each project. 

The book is divided into section based on rooms, such as the entryway, kitchen and office. Each section features examples of rooms done in different design styles, explanations of how each example works, furniture explanations, tips and how to mix and match, ideas to steal, and the story of one project start to finish.

Our favorite part is the many different styles they describe. There are no simple modern, contemporary or traditional styles in this book. Instead, the authors offer unique styles: brave bohemian, edgy classic, earthy modern, mid-century elegant and more. That inspires us to consider our own style. Romantic modern? Classically girly? We challenge you to pick up the book and define your style. See you tonight!
