Tricia Guild is known for her bold and original fabric and wallpaper collections. Following the success of her many books on color and pattern, she shares her long-standing fascination with using flowers in interior design—taking inspiration from her own garden as well as from all over the world to create stylish, sophisticated interiors. She draws on examples from her own designs where flowers have an enormous impact on the energy and mood of a room—whether it is a series of maroons and purples to amplify the sense of luxury in a dark and cozy boudoir or a collection of single stemmed red dahlias in vintage 1950s vases to inject urban drama and whimsy into a neutral minimalist living room. Included are hints and tips on designing a room with flora along with Tricia’s own flower care guide. With stunning, original photography and a text rich in insights from her own experience, this is a must-have compendium for anyone interested in contemporary interior design.
