"At Home" by Brian Paquette is a beautifully thoughtful guide to interior design that focuses on creating spaces that are both functional and deeply personal. Paquette's approach is rooted in the belief that a home should be a living, evolving extension of art—an environment that is meant to be touched, used, and admired, not just observed.
With the guiding principle of "Function and comfort, first and always," Paquette delves into the unique interests, histories, and lifestyles of his clients to craft homes that truly reflect their identities. He understands that a well-designed space is not just about aesthetics but about creating an evocative environment that ties a person to their past while providing comfort and functionality for their future.
"At Home" offers readers the inspiration and practical advice to replicate Paquette’s methods in their own homes, regardless of style or budget. He emphasizes the importance of elements such as fabric, light exposure, surface texture, and art in keeping memories alive and making a space feel truly personal. The book features ten unique homes, each showcasing Paquette’s process of integrating a client’s memories and aspirations into their living spaces.
By sharing these intimate design processes, Paquette encourages readers to reflect on their own memories and dreams, helping them to create interiors that are not only stylish but also meaningful. "At Home" is more than just a design book; it’s a guide to making your home a true reflection of who you are.
