THE HARMONIOUS HOME
Designing Peaceful, Personal Spaces Inspired by Nature
A holistic approach to interior design that uses the colors, patterns, and textures of your favorite natural landscapes to make your home an oasis, from the author of Living with Color and Living with Pattern.
Hailed by Vogue for her "approachable patterns and textiles" Rebecca Atwood shares a new method for styling your interiors, one guided by nature: specifically landscapes that capture your imagination. As an artist, she has found that the details of a landscape helps make design accessible, and when decorating a home, it can even direct the decisions you make.
Think of a place outside that contains a mood you want to bring into your home, such as the beach or a garden you saw on your travels. Identify the colors in its landscape and you can choose a room's paint colors. Pick out its textures and you can decide what materialsrugs, wallpaper, upholstery fabricto bring into the room. The Harmonious Home walks you through six different landscapesDunes, Ocean, Field, Forest, Garden, and Cityand shows you how to pull together color and pattern combinations you might not have imagined on your own that evoke the feeling of the place without looking overly thematic.
Throughout, you'll find gorgeous photographs of interiors around the country and expert advice from celebrated interior designers for selecting lighting, a floor plan, window treatments, and more. With endless inspiration for building a room around a mood, The Harmonious Home takes you from fabric and paint swatches to a harmonious design that feels like home.
Rebecca Atwood received her BFA in painting from the Rhode Island School of Design before beginning her career designing and consulting for major retailers. Today, she is a textile designer, an artist who blends traditional techniques with hand painting, and the author of Living with Pattern and Living with Color. Her interest in pattern is deeply rooted in her childhood on Cape Cod and her everyday observations of life in Charleston, South Carolina, where she lives with her family.
