They want them to be different, unusual, even daring. I used to work at a shelter magazine to which readers sent outraged letters if an unusual house was depicted, one that had a high zest factor; however if the houses depicted were just blandly lovely, readers just swooned. I still think Americans can be too reverent in their approach to decoration and worried about how their friends will react if they try something daring (I mean this broadly speaking). As for the new Vogue book, my favorite photograph has nothing to do with interior design but everything to do with mood: the allée of lemon (?) trees at Marella Agnelli's Marrakech house, all underplanted with a Monet-style froth of brilliant orange nasturtiums.
