LAP OF LUXURY

George allows one splurge per room—here

the iconic Barcelona chair—then fills in with

less expensive pieces, like readymade silk

draperies and $15 matchstick blinds. (£)

W INNING W ISDOM

from George Marrone

■ Go with your gut.

The fact that George has

no formal training doesn’t stop him from tackling a

decorating project with gusto. “I have always known

what I like, so I just go with my instincts. I figure if I buy

things I love, they will all work together, somehow.”

■ Start with a focal point.

A blank wall is always

a hard place to begin. “I find art or a piece of furniture,

often something vintage, that I love then I build around it,” he says. In the

bedroom, the green lamps were the inspiration.

■ Think in pairs.

“Adding symmetrical elements like mirrors, artwork,

and sconces in pairs gives structure to even the most eclectic mix.”
