In some ways, BRIGETTE ROMANEK is extremely down-to-earth. In her debut monograph, Livable Luxe (Chronicle Chroma), the Los Angeles–based designer writes, “For me, [living well] means living in a place where the most important thing is the ability to exhale, not to worry about items but enjoy them — not living in a precious way. No rooms are off limits.”
