Our homes are places to seek both comfort and escape from the day to day. While there’s plenty of décor categories that can tick those boxes, there’s none quite as transporting as the Tuscan look. Rooted in centuries-old tradition, the style serves up an elevated take on interiors, shirking the trendy in favor of time-worn pieces and textured materials. Earthy, unpretentious hues evocative of an Italian hillside mingle with honored materials such as terra-cotta and wrought iron for a Mediterranean take on the ever-popular farmhouse chic. Tuscan Home & Living celebrates this elegant- meets-rustic aesthetic with with fresh ways to bring the look home, including shopping finds and weekend projects. You’ll also see nine real-life houses located both stateside and in Tuscany itself that prove this style is not about where you live, but how you live. And because no Tuscan- inspired home is complete without a lively table, there’s also a host of crowd-pleasing pasta recipes. We hope you’ll consider this issue your road map to creating spaces that are warm, inviting and worlds away.
