Today her Los Angeles based company, Rose Tarlow<\/strong><\/em> \u2013 Melrose House, is renowned for its reproduction or, in many cases, adaptation of antiques, as well as its more modern designs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWarm, relaxed, inviting: that\u2019s what I want my rooms to be,\u201d Tarlow says. \u201cI hate pretentious rooms. You should feel at home in your own house. It\u2019s your place, after all. If my rooms were food, they\u2019d be something comforting like macaroni-and-cheese with a crusty top. Or toast.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with all of her endeavors, Tarlow takes on interior design projects, which include work for David Geffen and Eli Broad, with much forethought. She is driven not only by her sharp eye but also by her sense that homes are deeply personal.<\/p>\n

Rooms \u201cmay be perfectly designed,\u00a0yet if they fail to reflect the personalities of the people who live in them, the very essence of intimacy is missing, and this absence is disturbingly visible.\u201d\u00a0Tarlow\u00a0writes in her 2001 book, The Private House.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cTaste is a matter of opinion, and is seeking constantly to define itself.\u201d Rose Tarlow<\/strong><\/em> says.<\/p>\n

Five Essentials<\/h4>\n

\u2022 I love woven things, like an old rush chair in a fancy room; it pulls things down to just the right level. Which is why I am obsessed with American Indian baskets.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you go by Edith Wharton, the better the house, the less the need for curtains. I\u2019m insane about Venetian blinds and sheers: They are contemporary and add freshness to a room.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Overstuffed furniture is not for me. A good sofa has to be tailored, well proportioned, and large.<\/p>\n

\u2022 All rooms need mirrors, but I am not crazy about new ones or copies. I like simple frames\u2014Queen Anne, Flemish, William and Mary\u2014but then again, in my bedroom I have a R\u00e9gence mirror I adore.<\/p>\n

\u2022 I prefer midcentury and contemporary lighting to fancy lamps, especially in a room with antiques. I love Cedric Hartman lamps because they\u2019re modern and you can fit them in anywhere.<\/p>\n
