Synopsis

Internationally celebrated designer India Mahdavi offers accessible tips for transforming your house into a home with personality. What Parisian Chic did for your wardrobe, Home Chic will do for your abode. Interior design icon India Mahdavi’s signature style incorporates bold accents of color, texture, and pattern. Yet as bold as her interiors are, the impact often lies in the details―color, lighting, placement, arrangement― and her solutions and inspiration translate into highlylivable interiors. India believes that your home reflects your personality, so it’s important to accent the best features, to highlight the highlights! Just like fashion, it’s all about style. She takes you through each step from moving-in day to easy “refreshes” that, over time, spruce-up your home without breaking the bank. No home is without shortcomings, but India’s solutions will make them disappear. Her tips make it all seem easy: open up the space by removing unnecessary doors, create perspectives by placing something beautiful at eye level, balance horizontal and vertical proportions, and avoid cookie-cutter style throughout the home. Her signature interiors incorporate bold accents of color, texture, and pattern. With pointers that include faux pas to avoid, dos and don’ts, classic versus luxury detail, ingenious storage ideas, time-saving tips, and an annotated address book for sourcing the best design items, this household bible will equip you with all you need to transform your home room by room. Whether you’re moving into a new space or rejuvenating an old one, Home Chic overflows with advice and inspiration shared in a light tone with ideapacked illustrations. The handsome volume features a ribbon page marker and leatherette binding.
