Book Description
Latin Style is the decorating book for bringing the vibrant energy of the Latin culture into your home. Vibrant photographs and creative, original ideas provide the inspiration anyone needs to bring true Latin style to his or her own life. Whether as a source of inspiration or a defining accent, Latin Style will be the perfect addition to any decor. Style icon Juan Carlos Arcila-Duque defines and celebrates the four key influences of Latin style: Paradiso is the lush abundance of the rain forest, filled with life of every kind. Hacienda is the old world, brick and stone elegance of ranches and country estates set in a rugged landscape. Cabana evokes the cool of the ocean with endless white beaches, turquoise water, and tropical fruits. Pueblo reflects the sun-drenched colors of the marketplace, folk art, colonial architecture, and quiet courtyards. Latin Style will feature a CD of Latin-inspired music.

 | Not enough pictures Oct 6, 2009 |
| It might be because I am a visual person, but one would think that a decorating book would have more and plenty of pictures of the spaces that a decorator has worked on. This was not the case with this book. Too much writing for a highly visual topic. What made it more of a turn off, is that most of the pictures in the book were not even of objects or decorated spaces, but were mostly of food, and people eating, and plants...??? I was highly disappointed, and will probably try to sell the book back as I am not really interested in keeping as a "reference" book. | | |  | Almost as good as a vacation to South American Jul 31, 2008 |
This is a charming book full of color, and the quirky style of what the author calls "Latin Style". This is much more than just a decorating book. The author chooses pictures that give you a sense of what it would be like to experience Latin style. There is a stunning photo of a small cabana with large hammock swinging in front, the hammock facing an endless ocean. The picture beckons you to enjoy total peace. Then there are glorious pictures that speak of movement. A native hauling a load of bananas across a sky of palm trees, then a swirl of a brilliant red skirt as a woman dances by, followed by a collage of intriguing dishes.
For those interested in decoration, there are pictures of haciendas. Plaster walls, heavy antique furniture, and the jolt of pure orange paint on a wall. One truly romantic home pictured has a "grand old corridor...with an assemblage of paints and old lithographs and ...dark brown leather brown chairs--again that necessary hint of masculinity." (p 85).
Very enjoyable and interesting book. | | | Write your own review about Latin Style: Decorating Your Home with Color, Texture, and Passion
