An intimate look at the ethos of one of today’s most exciting designers, and the people and places that have shaped her maximalist English country aesthetic.

British interior designer Flora Soames founded her eponymous firm in 2009 and launched an acclaimed collection of fabrics and wallpapers in 2019. Informed by her background in art and furniture, her style exudes the traditional charm of English country homes while incorporating modern, original touches that are comfortable and design-led. This embrace of old and new — along with Soames’s passion for collecting, heritage, color, and pattern — has resulted in an impressive portfolio of projects in the UK and beyond.

Inspired by the concept of a One Day Box — a place, real or imaginary, where we store fragments of our past that spark a feeling of connection — Soames presents her reflections on the concept of home, and explores the sentiments evoked by certain objects during seminal moments in her life. From personalities and places to beloved objects, Soames shows how our patchwork of memories can energize the process of creating and living in a home. Exquisite photographs of her projects — including her refurbished countryside cottage in Dorset, an architecturally prominent house in the Cotswolds, and her family’s home in North Norfolk — alongside images of vibrant fabrics and wallpaper bring her thoughts and distinctive style to life.

About the Author:

Flora Soames set up her design business in 2009 and launched a range of fabrics and wallpapers a decade later. One of House & Garden’s Top 100, her discerning eye and instinct for channeling both old and new has been formed through a lifetime love of collecting. She lives and works in Dorset, England.

Take a guided tour through the entrancing homes and lush private gardens of Palm Beach, a subtropical island that has long boasted some of the most spectacular residences in the country, in this two-volume, slipcased set

The allure of living in Palm Beach has continued unabated for more than a century, and no one is a greater authority on the island’s residences than Palm Beach native Jennifer Ash Rudick. Here, in The Palm Beach Collection, she has selected 50 of the most extraordinary homes – from restorations of iconic Mediterranean Revival mansions by legendary architects Addison Mizner, Marion Sims Wyeth, Maurice Fatio, and John Volk to charming bungalows, sprawling ranches, ultramodern villas, and chic apartments. All are exceptionally designed by a who’s who of the interior design world, with names including Peter Marino, the late Carleton Varney, Tom Scheerer, Mark D. Sikes, Mimi McMakin, Amanda Lindroth, and Frank de Biasi. The homes’ lush settings are as beautiful as the interiors, with the help of such superb landscape architects as Jorge Sánchez, Mario Nievera, and Fernando Wong. Rudick also includes newer Palm Beach homes by important architects including Jeffrey W. Smith, Thierry Despont, Fairfax & Sammons, Daniel Kahan, and Chris Stone and David Fox. Illustrated with more than 750 photographs by Palm Beach-based Jessica Klewicki Glynn and Nick Mele, this two-volume set offers the most comprehensive survey of Palm Beach homes ever compiled.

About the Authors:

The design editor at large for Galerie magazine and a contributor to Veranda, she is also a producer of documentary films, including the Emmy-nominated Iris and Scandalous.

The catalogues of the Paris Salons at the turn of the 19th to the 20th century provide a unique archive of illustrations of the decorative arts at a pivotal time in their development, the five previous volumes covering Jewellery, Furniture, Ceramics and Glass, and Objets d'Art.

The fabric designers of the Art Nouveau style who exhibited at the Paris Salons produced a remarkable oeuvre in printed and woven fabric, silk, lace, embroidery and tapestry.

Bookbinding was, and still is, a well-established French tradition, and bibliophiles commissioned unique bindings from artist-designers who, at the same time, were also creating and exhibiting non-bound leather goods - handbags, blotters, upholstery.

This volume is probably the most important in the series. Because of wear and tear, practically none of the approximate 1,200 textile and leatherware pieces illustrated have survived outside museum collections or appeared at auction, unlike the items covered by the earlier volumes.

Twenty-five world-class designers invite us inside their private French residences, providing intimate access to their creative universe and rich inspiration for home style.

Stepping inside the private residences of France's leading tastemakers provides unrivalled inspiration for interiors with a personal flair. From a modernist retreat to an urban-pop apartment, and from an eclectic cabinet of curiosities to an eighteenth-century hôtel particulier, each ambience demonstrates a perfect mastery of associations between colour, pattern, volume, material, and decorative genius.

Pierre Yovanovitch's elegant, purist sensitivity infuses his seventeenth-century château in Provence. Pierre Passebon, owner of the famous Galerie du Passage in Paris, has furnished his carefully curated home with a brilliant mix of tribal art, Wiener Werkst&aauml;tte masterpieces, and design from the 1930s. Jewellery designer Lorenz Bäumer’s own interior creations complement the resolutely contemporary pieces by modern masters such as Ingo Maurer, Ettore Sottsass, and Verner Panton in his light-filled, constantly evolving apartment. Fashion designer Gilles Dufour's eclectic collections include nineteenth-century history paintings, classical sculptures, and Christian Bérard drawings, displayed alongside a menagerie of sculptures by Claude and François-Xavier Lalanne.

These private residences, each created by a world-class aesthete with a discerning eye, offer up a rich palette of inspired ideas for the home.

A book dedicated to the newly constructed expansion of the Kennedy Center that provides a new topology for performing-arts centers and a view of how art is made, designed by one of America’s most influential architects.

As the first major expansion in Kennedy Center history, the REACH breaks down boundaries between audience and art. Set adjacent to the Kennedy Center along the Potomac River in Washington, D.C., the REACH is set to open in 2019. As a “living memorial” for John F. Kennedy, the Center for the Performing Arts takes an active position among the great presidential monuments of the Jefferson and Lincoln memorials. Steven Holl Architects envisions the expansion of the building to fuse with the landscape and river, connecting the Kennedy Center to the Potomac riverfront for the first time: walk through a grove of thirty-five ginkgo trees, watch a free outdoor simulcast performance projected on a wall in a public park, or look out at the Potomac from a river pavilion café. The book offers a comprehensive look at the history of the project and includes programming initiatives by the Kennedy Center to memorialize President Kennedy and his significant contribution to the arts and American culture.

About the Author:

Steven Holl is the founder and principal of Steven Holl Architects in New York. Holl has won many awards, and his work has been presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York.

Discover classic and contemporary Scandinavian style with specially commissioned photography of homes in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Finland.

Scandinavia is famous for its distinctive style: homes are pared-back and simple, and form and function are combined to create aesthetically pleasing and practical interiors. Scandinavians are inspired by light, having an abundance of it in summer but so little of it in winter, and house designs tend to maximize the amount of natural light that enters the home, and allow the inhabitants to make the most of outdoor life during the summer. Similarly, nature and the weather are major influences: homes are made warm and cozy for the freezing winter months — not just literally with log burners, but also through incorporating wood and natural materials. Here Niki Brantmark, owner of the interior design blog My Scandinavian Home, presents a wide-ranging collection of these beautiful homes and explores how the Scandinavian lifestyle is reflected in them all.

The first chapter, Urban Living, features styles ranging from minimalist to bohemian, and pale palettes to dramatic dark colors. By contrast, the Country Homes tend to have a softer, calmer feel, through color and textiles, in line with a slower pace of life. Finally, the spectacular Rural Retreats include a mountain cabin, beach house, and rustic summer cottage, and demonstrate how having somewhere to escape to is so important to many Scandinavians. This collection of stunning interiors will put Scandi style within every reader’s reach.

About the Author:

Niki Brantmark runs the daily interior design blog My Scandinavian Home, which was inspired by her move to Sweden from London over ten years ago. Niki has a background in marketing and communication, and her blog is extremely popular, having received over six million hits and averaging around 500,000 page views per month from readers all over the world.

The Scottish Country House will enthral anyone with an interest in Scotland, history, architecture or interior decoration – all wrapped in a compelling narrative of past lives and taste.

These ten extraordinary houses and castles have all survived the vicissitudes of Scotland’s history with almost all of their original families still in residence. Each house also represents a landmark in Scotland’s architectural history, ranging from the early seventeenth to the early twentieth century. The architectural revelation is matched by sensational settings, which merge designed gardens and landscape with the unparalleled wildness and vistas of Scotland.

But, as author James Knox writes ‘The glory of Scottish country houses is not just their architecture but their contents, which add layers of personality to the interiors.’ All of these cherished houses are chockablock with memories of the past, from swagger portraits to sporrans, from vintage photographs to ancient weaponry, from curling stones to fading chintz. James Fennell’s masterly photographs capture the distinctive atmosphere of each residence. As he guides the reader on an intimate tour of the houses, Knox recounts their histories and profiles the colourful lairds, clan chiefs and nobles who have called them home.

Irresistible interiors that capture the essence of seaside living.

Everyone dreams of a house by the sea, and this book presents the best examples of homes for escaping to the serenity of the seaside. Beautifully photographed interiors, exteriors, gardens, and patios offer a peek into these appealing homes, including Martha Stewart’s Seal Harbor, Maine, residence, Donna Karan’s Zen-like East Hampton retreat, Tommy Hilfiger’s Pop art–inspired Miami house, and Giorgio Armani’s Antigua getaway. Such top designers as Martyn Lawrence Bullard, Steven Gambrel, and Ken Fulk have decorated these lovely and inspiring homes — in quintessential seaside communities, including Block Island, Harbor Island, Malibu, and Martha’s Vineyard.

A seaside house is a place to unwind in a relaxed setting — white floorboards, whimsical nautical touches, pastel tones, and vivid colors. Indoor-outdoor living is the norm. Yet it is also a place to entertain friends and family in style and can express a range of chic decorating and design tastes. From clean, modern beach houses to traditional-style cottages, these breathtaking interiors — presented by a team known for style and taste — will inspire homeowners, designers, and anyone who loves a water view.
