Vintage or Victorian? Orange or ochre? Successful interior design – creative, comfortable rooms with a personal touch – is built from layer upon layer of color, texture, pattern, embellishment, and more. But the plethora of choices available in the early twenty-first century has made it almost impossible to assemble these layers thoughtfully. Baird is here to help with On Interior Design, an incisive exploration of the essential aspects of contemporary interiors.
Baird considers architectural details, furniture, colour, fabric, flooring, lighting, and accessories, offering equal servings of expertise, history, and recommendation. She illustrates her topics with dozens of photographs of her own work, from apartments in New York City to houses in the Hamptons and Palm Beach to a residence in Paris.
