Should your 2008 New Year’s resolution include the word "redecorate"—or maybe you just want to add something sprightly to a room—may we direct your attention to the following pages. Here, you’ll find all the necessary objects to make your home as fashionable and personable as possible: a tub encased in fine Sicis tiles, furniture and fabric inspired by the most striking wildlife, a page full of white treasures, vivid carpets that bring the dull back to life, even black carbon-fiber barstools if bachelor sleek is your thing. We even resurrected the long-forgotten corner chair—once relegated to the nooks of 18th-century British palaces—this one is bright and red and will surely not be overlooked, no matter where you place it.
