What Makes It Special

In the new Schumacher book, FSCO Content Director Emma Bazilian and Art Director Stephanie Diaz dive into the old-school decorating techniques that are making a comeback in a fresh, new way. From cozy canopied beds and cheeky needlepoint pillows to treasured personal collections and antique furniture, the book guides readers on how to execute traditional design for the next generation. Chapters are filled with timeless spaces by designers like Ashley Whittaker, Markham Roberts, Celerie Kemble, Rita Konig and more, as well as looks back at the work of legendary talents like Sister Parish and Mario Buatta who continue to inspire today. Each room illustrates the successful ways in which today’s decorators are melding an appreciation for the past with an eye toward the future.
