Dwellings: Living with Great Style

With clients from Vera Wang to Tina Turner singing their praises, Stephen Sills and James Huniford, of Sills Huniford Associates, have written the ultimate guide to
creating a beautiful home.

For the first time, Sills and Huniford will share their much sought after principles of design - as well as many of their secrets - in DWELLINGS: Living with Great Style. Not since the greatest of American designers, Billy Baldwin, created his guides for stylish living in the early 1960's have decorators of the stature of Sills and Huniford written such an important book.

This book brings the luxury and sensuality of Sills Huniford's signature style to a practical level, addressing concerns like integrating technology into the home, devising the most flexible floor plan, and getting the most out of a small space and modest budget. Every aspect of style is addressed in clear

 
  language detailing the basic lessons of design. Their unmatched understanding of atmosphere, color, and design is brought to life in stunning and never-before-seen color photographs that prove both inspiring and practical. DWELLINGS is certain to become a touchstone for a generation that is searching for a new level of style and sophistication in the way they live.

DWELLINGS goes beyond your typical interior-decorating coffee-table book. Not simply a compendium of Sills and Huniford's work, the book provides real guidance and insight on how to think about the home you want to create and gives specific knowledge, from sources to techniques. Considering the lifestyle of today's consumers, Sills and Huniford explore integrating technology - like computers, faxes, and big-screen televisions - into your home; coping with small living spaces, and adapting rooms for multiple purposes; as well as deciding what's important - and what's not - to include in your budget.

Capturing Sills Huniford's unmatched understanding of atmosphere, color, and a room's sensuality, this innovatively designed book will serve as both inspiration and a reference tool for creating a beautiful home at every budget level.

The book is written with Michael Boodro, former editor at Vogue and current editor for the New York Times Magazine style section.
