QUILTS, CROCKS, AND WOOD CARVINGS<\/strong>\u2014these are some words that come to mind when one hears the word \u201cAmericana.\u201d But folk art and small-town living are a limited take on a country of this breadth and enormity. Today, American style has evolved into a multi-faceted approach incorporating a full range of ideas and inspiration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In the West and Southwest a merging of Native American and European\nstyles is one of many design aesthetics. \u201cNative American heritage and the\nfrontier lifestyle gave us the reference to antler furniture, raw wood, and\nrich textiles. These things take us back to our roots\u2014and we don\u2019t have to look\nback centuries. We\u2019re just a short distance away from where we started,\u201d says\nAnn Sutherland, Perennials\u2019s CEO.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In his New York apartment, legendary designer Robert Stilin\ncreates an eclectic, vibrant room centered around two dynamic prints by artist\nWade Guyton\u2014showing how contemporary American art has its own place in the\nconversation about the new Americana.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

In the American Southwest, celebrated former design editor\nMary Emmerling\u2014who repopularized American folk art in the early 1980s\u2014today\ntakes a more modern approach with the design of her Arizona home. American\nantiques still play a large role but are updated with a casual, coastal Shabby\nChic sofa and a modern Tolomeo floor lamp. Traditional American motifs are\nrounded out with more global gestures like a Moroccan pouf and zebra rug.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Los Angeles-based designer Mark Sikes\u2014known as one of the\nmost important American designers working today\u2014 takes an updated approach to\nthe classic American blue- and-white theme. In his own home library\u2014with its\nlayers of pattern and texture\u2014the room feels fresh and unexpected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

When it comes to the new Americana, it\u2019s folk art with a\ntwist\u2014an oversized spongeware pattern, a twig table made of cement, or a\ntraditional wood ladderback chair in bright red.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

David Sutherland explains, \u201cAmerica is fortunate in that\nwe\u2019re surrounded by the Atlantic and the Pacific because it gives us our own\nidentity. We can draw from other cultures or other continents, but we\u2019re going\nto build on our own history.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Robert Stilin <\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

In the dining area of Robert Stilin\u2019s New York apartment, two Wade Guyton prints hang majestically over a Guillerme et Chambron table and Marolles Chairs, in a grand nod to the power of American art in design today. Inspired by the subtle, rustic yet elegant look of this room, we chose some distinctly American pieces to achieve the look.

Mary Emmerling\u2019s own\nliving room in Scottsdale, Arizona, features a myriad of antiques and vintage\nfinds all culled from craft and art fairs such as Objects of Art & American\nIndian\/Tribal in Santa Fe, New Mexico and the Roundtop Antiques Fair in Roundtop,\nTexas. Emmerling strikes just the right balance between new and old, and\nexpertly brings in global accents like a zebra-patterned rug and a Moroccan\npouf to round out the distinctly American flair of the room. Choose some\npatterns and motifs to add flair to your own decor. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

Layered and dynamic, fresh and bright are the watchwords in Mark D. Sikes\u2019s home library. Blue and white is a classic American motif, but it takes a deft hand to keep it from looking clich\u00e9d. Every inch is considered\u2014from the walls and ceiling covered in Shumacher\u2019s Ojai Stripe to the perfect accent of the Houl\u00e8s trim on a Pindler Roman shade. A Henredon slipper chair covered in Pierre Frey\u2019s Toile de Nantes fabric sits center stage. Add some traditional touches to your own d\u00e9cor with some of our selections.
