Exotic Flowers for an Exotic Home

Housed within the covers of Flowers for the Home, recently published by Rizzoli International, the stories, sources and how-to’s of turning your home and events into an atmospheric floral delight come to light. Inspiration springs from all four corners of he globe–from a French boudoir to a South American tropical rainforest–and colours the glorious sets which are published throughout this coffee table edition.

The writers, Grayson Handy and Arturo Quintero from Prudence Designs, feed the fountain of gorgeousness with their inspiring floral and tabletop arrangements. Grayson’s Southern roots and Arturo’s fiery Latin side blend the brash and the graceful into one.

The book is set to become a hot favourite with interior designers for its original colour palettes and indigenous materials. Each chapter breaks down the element of flower arrangement in a clear and clever manner, and packed with step-by-step instructions and tips, Flowers for the Homes makes life without flowers an impossibility.

‘Flowers for the Home: Inspirations from the World Over’ by Prudence Designs. Written by Grayson Handy and Tracey Zabar, photographed by Ellen Silverman, foreword by Paulette Cole.
