Book Review: Vintage Remix

Inte­rior designer Kis­hani Perera knows that good design is every­where and at every price point. Mixing modern with vin­tage, and retail with custom, her eclectic inte­riors incor­po­rate pieces from designer show­rooms and Etsy alike to create spec­tac­u­larly lay­ered, vibrant homes. In Vin­tage Remix, Perera’s striking inte­riors serve as a guided tour through the stages of design, from deciding when to skimp or splurge to adding the fin­ishing touches and unex­pected ele­ments of whimsy. Her mix-​​and-​​match phi­los­ophy will help readers dis­cover and express their own tastes. Perera takes the intim­i­da­tion out of blending styles, proving that pairing seem­ingly opposing pieces can strike a bal­ance that is clas­si­cally chic.

Kis­hani Perera is founder of the L.A.-based design com­pany Kis­hani Perera Inc. and has worked with many celebrity clients.
