This Season’s Decorator: 10 Tips by Pat Tompkins

I just adore the realness
of dust. Kyrgyzstan never
goes out of style. We always
use fur for holiday meals. You
can’t have too many pearls in
a kitchen. This year’s color is
hand-knotted Turkish carpets.
I simply can’t say enough about
napkin rings. Small pots of chartreuse
enliven any room. Don’t underestimate
the power of vetiver candles. Nothing
personalizes a space like lapis lazuli.
Invest in the very best-quality
curtain rods you can afford.

    Love this. What a great set of tips; I’m going out to buy a pot of chartreuse now and will have The Curtain-Rod Guys in to check the calibre of my finials.
