How To Decorate

We are thrilled to welcome Chicago-based interior designer Summer Thornton to the show. Her work has appeared in Architectural Digest, ELLE Decor, House Beautiful, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, as well as on the recent cover of Veranda. Her style is described as maximalist with a modern sensibility, whimsical textiles, bold art, and surprising patterns. She also wrote a fabulous and fun new book called Wonderland: Adventures in Decorating. We talk all about Summer’s fantastic use of colors, how to break the rules, and how if you really love something it’s never “too much”! What You’ll Hear on This Episode: We talk about how much we all love Summer’s coffee table book Wonderland: Adventures in Decorating. Why Summer loves using her dining room table as a “stage” when entertaining. How does Summer account for having two young children when designing? What are Summer’s guidelines for coming up with a color scheme? How you can break the color rules of a color palette and make it work. Su
