WELCOME TO MILIEU
In MILIEU, every story captures the look and feel, the mood and character, the style of a place—its milieu.
The milieu that defines a beautiful home or garden, the fashions and jewelry we wear, the places to which we travel, the art and culture we experience, the creative people who inspire us—these are the elements of MILIEU.
CURRENT ISSUE HIGHLIGHTS
Moving Into Town
After living for decades in the Spanish countryside, two designers moved to the main street of a Catalan village, where they have become daily players in its life
A Lasting Legacy
An interior designer and architect collaborated to create a new home for a client outside Birmingham. It’s a residence that is sure to endure into the future.
Fitting In
Architect Andrew Trotter builds structures so distinctive that they define their locales and become immediate icons. Yet, whatever he designs seems endemic to a given region and its people.
A Newt Experience
The Newt in Somerset is as much a place to retreat for a stay as it is to dine, explore, and learn about the region’s natural and built histories
Working Man
George Dunbar’s art is rarely predictable yet always identifiable as his alone. His works include (opening page) Mound Series, composed of acrylic paint applied to envelope paper, and (above) Rouville No. 7, which combines gold leaf with red Louisiana clay.
Larger Than Life
Nature is in full bloom, and in these wallpapers, art truly imitates life. Patterns of flowers and plants—whether the details are realistic or abstract—bring the spirit of spring to life and into your home.
Arranging Things
Illuminating the often misunderstood role of an interiors stylist, Colin King’s Arranging Things (Rizzoli) is a masterful look at the numinous, even sacred, nature of objects and an introspective musing on their dynamic placement. King writes how styling “can be a daily practice, one that empowers you to see the world differently and find new meaning in your surroundings.”
Showing The Colors
Bungalow Furniture, of Scottsdale, Arizona, in partnership with MILIEU Magazine and LEE Industries, hosted a festive gathering on November 10th, celebrating classic American style and all things red, white, and blue.

Behind the Scenes of Larger Than Life
The Spring 2023 cover story is so wonderfully playful and colorful, as well as creative in showing the vast varieties of wallcoverings on the market. However it wasn't until I saw the "behind the scenes" photos from the shoot that I fully appreciated fantastic, and frankly surprising, scale of the vignettes.
Preserving Beauty: Anne Blackwell’s Bountiful Botanical Adventure
Every cloud has a silver lining, and for Virginia botanical artist Anne Blackwell Thompson, it just happened to be growing beyond the garden gate.
