People often ask where I get my inspiration from when tackling so many different projects at a time, often in completely different styles. The honest answer is, I own a fantastic amount of design books! The more specific they are the better. When I’m designing a fireplace, I pull out my fireplace book, and when I’m up to my eyeballs in a kitchen redo, it’s kitchen books all over my house.  But when I’m trying to nail the details of a locale, I rely on the Taschen Style series.

Surely you’ve seen them, those beautiful little gems of books with minimal words and breathtaking photography. Taschen Books has a huge selection of gorgeous geographically-based design books overflowing with inspirational images. From Miami to Tokyo, Brussels to Morocco, whatever the look you’re going for, you’ve got a lot to learn from these vivacious volumes. Not to mention, their colorful dainty spines look beautiful on your bookshelves… all the reason you need to buy lots of ‘em!
