Home Chic<\/a>,\u00a0<\/b>by India Mahdavi,\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0is a guidebook for simple folk. \u00a0Its’ glossy illustrations and its personalized tips enables us to understand how to use space in a fashionable way without just filling it up with d\u00e9cor. \u00a0Divided into two main sections: the home guide and the designer\u2019s top design venues across the world. In the last section,\u00a0Mahdavi\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0\u2018City Guide\u2019,\u00a0features her international design fabrics and also enables the reader to tour locations from Beirut to the hot hub of \u00a0Cape Town.<\/p>\n

The books\u2019 pages show up the designer\u2019s selected works, including bedrooms at the\u00a0Hotel Thoumieux\u00a0and studded walls at the\u00a0Paradisio Cinema\u00a0in Paris.\u00a0The difference between this book and others is that it enables you to use it as a guide , providing you with things to keep your eyes peeled for, illustrated by images of\u00a0 private homes she has worked on as well as high profile spots like the\u00a0Coburg bar\u00a0at the\u00a0Connaught Hotel\u00a0\u00a0in\u00a0London\u00a0and the\u00a0Caf\u00e9 Germaine\u00a0in\u00a0Paris. \u00a0Mahdavi’s\u00a0combination of styles, lush fabrics and materials showcase for us how to achieve her signature style.<\/p>\n

A bonus for packing it into your bookcase, is its’ ability to take a sneak peek inside \u00a0Mahdavi\u2019s\u00a0 world of personal design, a closer look at her own home\u2019s interiors as well as successful works of her contemporary yet comfortable design. The features of Mahdavis\u2019 home \u2013 \u00a0ideal settings with individuality allow us a glimpse at how to avoid a cookie cutter room or look.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Inexpensive ideas such as how to assemble photos in frames so that it is appealing to the eye, and how to turn junk finds into artsy areas for gallery like looks are also a bonus.<\/p>\n

For example in the Hotel Germain,\u00a0\u00a0the sculpture of an oversized woman\u2019s torso in the middle of a restaurant \u2013 not only adds drama but creates an atmosphere of being in an art gallery while having supper. \u00a0How \u00a0can have more drama than that?<\/p>\n
