Inside Milan: Colorfully Creative Italian Interiors

I buy a lot of interior design books and most are beautiful in content and as books, but few have interiors that really look as if people live in them. They are many times over staged, removed of any hint that an actual human being inhabits the space, more an advert for products or the interior designer. This one is different- I believe that humans do live and love and have history in these spaces. I admit I tend to find that more frequently in European design books than American books. We, I think want more "cookie cutter" design. As long as something is linked with a celebrity, that's what is "in", what is pushed for public consumption.... and the pocket book (do people still know what a "pocket book" is?)Anyway, not to be long winded- I highly recommend this book! And I will leave it at that : )

Great book that shows how real people live in Europe....not a decoration book in the strict sense of the word, at least not for the North American concept of decoration. Very European and very relatable.

for the first time in a long time, got great insight into many wonderful apartments - great range of tastes and budget.. all wonderful

Such an incredible book... I hope there are many more to come...

Absolutely stunning!! Spectacular photography and images on every page. Very inspirational stimulating and insightful book. A must own book for your library.

Stunning images by photographer Guido Taroni that invite you into some of Milan’s most beautiful homes. An absolute gem of a book.

It’s a collection of interior shots of people’s homes that have no apparent connection to Milan …and all the interiors are similar styles — eg messy, cluttered spaces with tons of collections of various objects. I thought this book would showcase the beautiful Milanese style I saw in my recent visit — it does not. It’s more like a collection of interiors of homes from magazine articles.
