Quality is important. Just as a house's foundation should be built to last, so should our rooms' furniture, items, and features convey an enduring sense of beauty and comfort. They should outlive fashion and our loving daily use. But how does one identify quality and determine whether something is well-made?
In The Finer Things, Christiane Lemieux set out to find a solution by interviewing the world's top specialists. Lemieux has crafted an unrivaled education in recognizing the signs of timeless, heirloom-quality objects by weaving together the insights and guidance of dozens of wallpaper and paint specialists, textile fabricators, accessories craftspeople, and interior designers. Hundreds of magnificent house interiors—both historic and contemporary examples—represent the spectrum of luxury and personalised spaces that may be produced with fine décor.
