When a painting just doesn’t do it for you, let Lake Como become your living room décor. Crystal clear water reflected in a luminous room. Cool floors that bring to mind balmy summer evenings.

Windows bring the outdoors in, doing away with walls. Certain places feel like they were created to soothe the eyes.

Sara Magni's photos transport us into the homes of which dreams are made. Her taut shots are redolent of freshly pressed sheets and palatial ceilings. Pastel blues set off stylish furnishings, metal dragonflies sweep and swirl in the lamplight. Utter perfection in a still life that I would love to live in.

Moving on from a career as a set designer, Sara ventured into photography and today her work features in leading interior design magazines such as Abitare, AD, IconDesign and more.
