Evoking memories of the past and aspirations for the future to create
unique contemporary interiors.
Interior design should not be sterile or static; it's a living extension
of art meant to be touched, used, and admired. This mindset is the heart
of Brian Paquette's interiors. Beginning with the motto, "Function and
comfort, first and always," Paquette explores each client's interests
and lifestyle to create homes that reflect their identity, history, and
aspirations. Integrating the placement of furniture, exposure to light,
surface texture, and art, a client's memories are translated into an
evocative presence in the home, anchoring them to their past while
providing a space of comfort and function for their future. At Home
provides inspiration to replicate these methods in your own home
regardless of style or budget. How does a person keep their memories
alive in a home? Through fabric? A particular scent? Surface texture?
Light exposure? Considering these elements and others, this is how Brian
Paquette builds a room. By sharing each unique process of design for the
ten homes featured in his book, readers can begin to consider their own
memories and aspirations for how they too can create a home interior
that is a true reflection of themselves.
