Why everyone wants to decorate like a club
['Marco Mansi']
House & Garden
The appetite for a club look at home is undeniable, but the question is why.
To explore this, I spoke with Andrew Jones, whose book The London Club: Architecture, Interiors, Art is a lavishly illustrated and wittily written study of one of the capital’s most distinctive – and most secretive – institutions.
‘There has always been a dialogue between members’ clubs and domestic interiors,’ Andrew explained.
People want to live at home the way they live when they travel,’ Andrew pointed out.
‘I once saw a member’s wife come into an 18th-century club to measure her husband’s favourite armchair so she could have one made for their house,’ Andrew recalled.
