Interior of the house with your own handsInterior of the house with their own hands. That preachesJonathan: "A chic house is not one that is filled with fashionable but uncomfortable furniture or masterpieces of art that you do not understand. This is the place where things are collected that you love, surrounded by which you are happy. Homecoming should be an antidote to the problems and traumas of everyday life. It's just like hearing on the radio in the car your favorite tune, for the first time to kiss or collide on the street with your ex and ... notice that he's gotten fat. But not at all what to spend a Sunday evening for counting taxes and eating fiber. In short, design the dwelling so that it expresses your essence and gives you joy unceasingly from the very second you step over the threshold of the house. "

Plant a dog in the hallway

There is no real, get a ceramic one. This huge friendly dog ​​sits at the entrance to my apartment in Palm Beach, and every time I return home from somewhere, my mood rises.

Have fun with the soul

Don't take life too seriouslythis is the road to nowhere. If you are prone to over-reflection, I highly recommend a course of electroshock therapy - style and its characteristic clean lines, energetic colors and humor.

Walk barefoot

Tick ​​your toes with sisal and pamper your feet with fluffy sheepskin carpets. Surround yourself with natural materials - to touch your home should be as good as it looks.

Scale down the scale

Observance of scale is the most unreasonable of all decorating techniques. Feel free to put small benches in a huge palazzo and a Gothic throne in the studio apartment.

Mix the colors

Do not be afraid of color disharmony. Recently I was engaged in the redesign of Parker Hotel in Palm Springs. There on the white wall hung a stupid white regiment. I bought all the bright colored glass in the neighborhood and created a frieze in the style of pop. Life immediately became more fun.

Add a little lime

... into your interior. Juicy green invigorates, animates and gives a charge of optimism. It also goes well with chocolate, white, blue and ... any.

Learn to put beautiful still lifes

The key to a competent arrangement is experimentation. Try symmetry, compositions of three subjects of different heights. Put them in a row or combine into compact groups.

Aim the art disorder

Despite the strict architecture of this townhouse,its interior looks at ease and modern, largely thanks to the informally stacked books and freely arranged paintings and ceramics. Red walls also contribute to the creation of a vivid modernist image.

Buy Pendant Armchairs

Do you want to communicate with the child inside of you? For this, it is not necessary to study hundreds of books on psychology and introspection. Just hang a couple of armchairs in the living room - you will remember your childhood and stop looking back at the past.

Combine the incongruous

Do not be careful with the drawings. Within a single color range, you can seamlessly combine different patterns and motifs. If in doubt, repeat, repeat and repeat.

Paint the floors in white

You will feel careless and show yourself more slender than you are.

Imagine yourself a gallery owner

Hanging pictures can terrify, but at the veryit's all quite simple. Act intuitively - first hang up big pictures, and then ... just keep on hanging. Do not pay attention to the content of canvases, think of them as geometric shapes that need to be conveniently located on the plane. This is how abstractionists act. (If you liked the picture in the book, tear it out and paste it into a beautiful frame.) You will find even more tips in the new bookJonathan Adler "My prescriptions for an antidepressant interior" (Jonathan Adler, My Prescription For Anti-Depressive Living., ReganBooks / HarperCollins).
