When I first became interested in interior design, Nina Campbell’s Decorating Notebook, was one of my earliest decorating books. She revealed “the trademark touches, the secret sources and techniques and the methods she uses to create her timeless sophisticated interiors.” I was hooked…
Equally conversant with formal traditional or tailored contemporary styles Ms Campbell, “the doyenne of interior design” is highly regarded for her classic, yet contemporary elegant interiors.
Her latest book Nina Campbell Interior Decoration: Elegance and Ease published by Rizzoli showcases the most recent design projects, with recurring themes that include Ms Campbell’s signature mix of antiques, artwork, custom finishes and inspired fabric combinations. She brings it all together for her inimitable take on the “elegance and ease” of classic British interior design today.
Classic chintz and damask rule in this traditional setting
A signature mix of warm color palette, classic art, comfortable seating and classic tie-back drapes
Love the layering of drapes, rug, luxe fabrics, Asian screen, mirrored wall & fireplace - relying on texture rather than pattern so the room doesn't look overdone
Strategically placed wallpaper panels for a cozy bedroom
Bold trim detail totally customizes the space
Inspired mix of patterns in pink and blue pull the room together
The Asian screen is seen more clearly here
Layers of art, accessories and tassels dominate this vestibule framed by a super glossy door
Beautiful details of delicately patterned sheers, trimmed edge drapes, tassel tie-back and plush velvet - the only thing missing is a book!
A very contemporary artwork relaxes a rather formal living room
Loving the turquoise/orange combo and the Chinoiserie wallpaper!
Liberal application of trim customizes the room adding another layer of interest
