Intimate Home

Victoria magazine pays tribute to private spaces, special places where a joyful love of life thrives and every day offers a round of pleasures. With the help of the magazine’s experts and 85 exquisite color photos, a haven can exist right in your very own home. All it takes is some imaginative decorating and “emotional furnishings” devoted to your personal pursuits. For example, you might install a cushioned window seat for solitary reverie, keep a basket with stationery and pen at the ready, or showcase favorite collectibles that will delight your eye. Bedrooms and baths emphasize grace and light, with creamy linens, flowery coverlets, and gossamer-sheer curtains. Inspirational writings from beloved authors such as Virginia Woolf, Balzac, and Saki accompany the superb photos.
