Given that Mario Buatta was crowned the “Prince of Chintz,” I can think of no better designer to feature in my first “chintz-piration” post. Known for his English Country style, Buatta was a true master at mixing colors and patterns to create elegant and enduring interiors. Floral chintz was a signature element of his timeless designs, his favorite being Lee Jofa’s Floral Bouquet.
Below are some of my favorite interiors designed by Buatta. And for more of Mario Buatta’s inspiring work, I highly suggest his book, Mario Buatta: Fifty Years of American Interior Decoration.
