Whether it’s jewel-like furnishings that light up the room, ornate mirrors as beautiful as brooches or bold, curvaceous furniture shapes, journalist Claire Bingham is taking readers on a luxurious journey around the world in her new book, Living in Style The New Art Deco.

 

Spanning ritzy venues to sublimely-styled houses, Bingham details spaces that are full of character and individuality. From modern-day glamour to Old World charm, Bingham visits private homes, chic hotels, stylish restaurants and trendy bars to locate and describe truly unique interior spaces. As she travels across the globe, she discovers the talent that goes on behind the scenes of each unique design.
