TEXAS DESIGN WEEK DALLAS IS A TICKETED EVENT. TO PURCHASE TICKETS, AND FOR COMPLETE SCHEDULE, GO TO TEXASDESIGNWEEK.COM. "The French have a much more casual approach to design than most Americans think. Homes are not meant to be museum- like — static and untouched — that is true for even the most glorious Parisian hôtel particulier or imposing château. The French firmly believe that furniture and objects should be treated as useful and therefore moved about to fit the needs and the mood of the moment." — Timothy Corrigan Fascinating Francophile: Timothy Corrigan I nterior designer Timothy Corrigan's latest tome, At Home in France: Inspiration and Style in Town and Country (Rizzoli), will convince you that your life is missing a certain French accent. His third book — which has more than 300 color photographs and candidly revealing text written with Michael Boodro — feels like you're seated next to Corrigan at a dinner party. We can vicariously live à la française as we tour his Paris apartment and his latest country château. Yes, his latest — the designer has become somewhat of an expert in renovating châteaux. Beyond sharing details about acquiring, renovating, and decorating his French properties, he also shares insights about antiquing in Paris, hosting graciously, touring the French countryside, and hanging art the French way (smaller piece on the bottom, since the eye travels upward, and so that viewers can get a closer look at From top: The grand salon of Chateau de la Chevallerie.

Corrigan has long been celebrated for prioritizing comfort in beautiful and elegant rooms, executed through not just the use of materials but also through scale, proportion, and use of color. His homes in France embody an aspirational comfortable elegance. ALP CV: Corrigan has been named to the Architectural Digest AD100, the Elle Decor A-List, and Robb Report's Top 40 Designers in the World. He's the sole American to be honored by the French Heritage Society for his restoration of several French national landmarks. Corrigan has collaborations with Perennials, Schumacher, Samuel & Sons, Fromental, Royal Limoges, THG-Paris, Kyle Bunting, and Dea Luxury Linens.
