Who doesn’t long for a little more romance in their home? The kind that makes your heart feel at ease when you walk inside and close the door on our fast-paced world.

Who doesn’t long for a little more romance in their home? The kind that makes your heart feel at ease when you walk inside and close the door on our fast-paced world.

Today’s romantic interiors come in many different forms, but all share a passion for beauty. Romantic rooms are filled with treasures that honour the past and are defined by graceful furnishings, subtle hues, and evocative items. It’s a style that easily mixes with other design eras, from traditional rustic and French country to modern luxe.

In The Romantic Home, Fifi O'Neill presents twelve well-loved homes to set the heart a-flutter. In the first chapter, ‘Reclaimed Romance’, she visits an artist’s cottage and a restored 1902 loft in Minnesota. ‘Modern Crush’ features a designer’s apartment in Los Angeles and a sensitively updated Rhode Island home. In ‘Love Stories’, Fifi reveals a writer’s hideaway in Florida and a classically elegant abode on the West Coast. And in the final chapter, ‘Classic Vibes’, she travels from a vintage-inspired ranch-style home in California to an authentic farmhouse in the South of France.

Past meets present in each of these idyllic homes, which combine calm and collected interiors with abundant personal charm.
