A home decorating book for people who are tired of rooms that look perfect, are full of ridiculously expensive objects, and present a lifestyle that doesn't match up with anyone's actual daily experience.
"Zuraw outlines her 'slow style' approach, which draws on the 1970s slow food movement and the early 2000s slow fashion movement to counter mass production, help readers accumulate meaningful items over time, and consider the environmental impact of their purchases....readers new to design will benefit from the fun exercises, as when Zuraw lays out a step-by-step guide to creating a vignette with items one already owns. Conscious consumers ready to redecorate should check this out."--Publishers Weekly
Slow Style is a new way of practicing the art of decoration. Rather than focusing on the current product-driven approach to home design and decor, Slow Style shows you how to use what you already have, develop your eye for what works and what doesn't, and make choices that are truly connected to who you are.
Slow Style is about honoring our personal histories and our dreams for the future by taking the time to layer our homes with beauty and meaning. For example, incorporating antiques, handmade objects, and items that relate to our heritage and culture connect us to the past and help tell our story. Art--whatever the aesthetic or object--elevates our living experience. Taking aesthetic clues from nature connects us to our environment.
Zandra Zuraw teaches principles and shows how to execute them in your home, starting simply and then layering or changing as your style evolves over time rather than filling your spaces with what's trendy today but may not tell who you are or reflect how you live in your home.
More than making your home look pretty, Slow Style Home is about deeper meanings and why style matters. On an individual level, cultivating one's style can be an important process of self-reflection and personal growth, two things that everyone deserves to experience. And more broadly, addressing the multibillion-dollar production of cheaply made decor and furniture is something we owe to the health of our planet.
