Jonathan Adler: Accessorising and Colour Ideas

If you're looking for a couple of inspiring decorating reads for the Easter break, then Jonathan Adler's Happy Chic Colours and Happy Chic Accessorising are your must buys. I've been nosing through them on my Tube commutes for the past week and have on several occasions I've been so engrossed in his upbeat and exciting ideas that I've nearly missed my stop! Expect to find inspired colour themes inside 'Colours', with Benjamin Moore shades picked out for many of the colour themes so you can literally shop the looks you like. You'll also find product 'inspiration boards' that give plenty of shopping ideas whether you're looking to makeover a whole room, or just a standalone statement piece. 'Accessorising' is equally as inspiring: the collection of divine vases (seen below) made me rethink the ability to make an impact by grouping multiple vases of varying shapes. Plus, throughout the book Jonathan shares his tips and reasoning behind why he accessorised his home the way he did, giving the title an informal and accessible tone. Here are some of my favourite pages from the issue...

    Everybody should get "something" by JA. His pieces are already classics and will be valuable down the road. He is a genious with the best sense of humor.

    Happy weekend!

    Warm hugs,

    Bright, happy post! I love the video of Jonathan and Charlotte Moss discussing their styles, in the premiere issue of the Traditional Home/Lonny collaboration. It's well worth a look!

    I posted about these on my blog too - I adore them!!! Even though I've read through them several times, I like picking them up when I get too icky about my 'bachelor pad-esque' temporary apartment. They remind that someday soon I will be able to decorate to my heart's delight and pull inspiration from Adler's amazing talents to create my own perfect spaces :)
