In Magical Rooms, Galli shares her collaborative approach to show us how we can transform our inspirations into good design.Showcasing twelve very different interiors--from a Brooklyn townhouse to a Tribeca loft to a Greenwich Village apartment to an Upper West Side penthouse--Galli illustrates how she has achieved the finished look for each and breaks down her design principles into instructive teachings on scale, structure, balance, and color that readers can apply to their own interiors.Through the lens of her favorite rooms, Galli shares her own inspirations and tried-and-true tips, revealing how she distills her influences into five elements that she uses, in every project: Nature (bring the outside in), Clashing (a no-rules attitude), Surrealism (subverting the rules of scale and composition), Bohemian (worldly, chic, and eccentric), and Sparkle (the influence of disco sprinkled like fairy dust).
