More than 250 rooms by iconic designers – the definitive illustrated handbook on the timeless style of grand millennial-chic Chintz, ruffles, wicker, and skirts: old-school decorating details are making a comeback in a fresh, new way thanks to a crop of designers putting their own unique spin on the classics.

From cozy canopied beds to cheeky needlepoint pillows, its granny chic for the next generation.

Chapters comprise visually exuberant explorations of: Chintz & Florals; Checks & Stripes; Toile; Matching Skirts; Slipcovers; Bed Hangings; Window Treatments; Scallops; Wicker & Rattan; Treillage; Decorative Painting; Vintage & Antiques; Collections; and Table Setting.
