Get decorating ideas from the rooms of the royalty, the famous and the wealthy — from the 1820s, 1930s and 1960s, that is. From the Duke and Duchess of Windsor's banquette room to Lee Radziwill's drawing room, these interiors feature ornate furniture and draperies, as well as exquisite fabrics, mouldings and light fixtures. Each inspiring room was handpicked by the anonymous author of An Aesthete's Lament, a popular interior-design blog that celebrates "eccentricities, flamboyant flights of fancy and individualistic examples of personal chic." Classic style lives forever, as these spaces amply demonstrate.
