Last week we introduced you to
Darren Henault, whose extraordinary talent for creating luxurious, livable spaces has won him awards, accolades, and the attention of the most important design publications in the world. His clients include celebrities, business leaders, and the social elite. For Henault, “living beautifully is about editing and figuring out what positive changes to make that will affect how you feel about your home and, ultimately, yourself.” Epitomized in this home in Millbrook:
And this New York living room, seen in
New York Spaces:
We spent an afternoon with him on the hunt around the
DDB looking for his favorite finds for summer. Here's what he loves, and why.
-"This Diana églomise chest of drawers from
Jean de Merry is a great find. A gorgeous Old World technique on a clean and very usable piece of furniture:
-"The Windsor étagère from
Frederick P. Victoria & Son is gorgeous. As it's custom, you can lacquer it, distress it, whatever you like. Again something old made new:
-"The textured linens and silks from
Nancy Corzine are beautiful. They're formal but crisp and light enough to live with in the summer."
-"New bedding from
Leron! Change the room from Winter to Spring just by having the folks there whip up something light and airy:
-"Have I mentioned my new rug collection at
Holland & Sherry? How about using my designs and making them in cotton or linen? They're happy to oblige."
