Luminous new photography showcases contemporary and historic homes in the beloved Spanish Style in Southern California, while offering, as well, a rare look at the original inspirations to the style, born in Andalusia, Spain.

The great appeal of Spanish Style homes lies in their aura of romance and drama, a sense of story, of magic, as well as in their very comfortable and engaging proportions and the great livability of the interior spaces. Deep shadow, arched doorways, trickling courtyard fountains, climbing bougainvillea on wrought-iron window grilles, wood-beamed ceilings, and white plaster walls are all hallmarks of the style. Here, through a celebration of contemporary and historic homes in Southern California, as well as existing historic precedents in Andalusia, Spain -- most notably the intricately detailed Casa de Pilatos in Seville and the Alhambra of Granada--The Spanish Style House presents the definitive picture of the style as it exists today.

Featured homes include the George Washington Smith-designed Casa Blanca (1928) -- a fantasy made real in stone and stucco replete with the romance of old Morocco in its horseshoe arches, domes, and evocative tile murals--and a Marc Appleton-designed beach house (2007) in Del Mar, California, which is a dream on the sea and an eloquent testament to the virtues of the style for today.

An unprecedented tour of stunning and architecturally significant Cuban palacios, mansions, and private homes that have been meticulously preserved, previously un-photographed, and inaccessible to visitors. 

At a time when more travellers are rediscovering Cuba, this lavishly illustrated volume offers a different view of the island’s cultural achievements. It presents not the Cuba of Castro’s era, with its derelict buildings and peeling paint, but the opulent world of the Spanish Creole aristocracy of the colonial period, with its Mudejar craftsmanship and baroque palacios, the sugarcane plantations (ingenios) and coffee plantations (cafetales), and classically inspired grand mansions. Exceptional preservation work has kept these villas in the magnificent state in which they were first envisioned.

The photographs, shot exclusively for this book, show examples in each area of the island-from the interiors and exteriors in Havana, Santiago de Cuba, Santa Clara, Cienfuegos, and Pinar del Rio to close-up details of courtyards, balconies, galleries, balustrades, grilles, and louvered doors in Trinidad, Matanzas, and Holguin. One featured home is Finca Vigia (“Lookout House”), the former residence of Ernest Hemingway.

This volume gives readers a glimpse into the interiors of these family homes with their sweeping marble staircases and grand rooms with elaborate parquet floors, intricate moldings, and mosaic details, enriched with sculptures and tapestries. All-new photography--as well as archival images showing the rooms and art collections as they existed in the day--celebrate the enduring beauty and exquisite restorations of these masterpieces, which reflect a lost way of life.

Hilary Robertson reveals a multitude of ways to style and display the ‘stuff of life’ – the flotsam and jetsam of possessions, from pictures and ornaments to hats and bicycles, that we accumulate over the course of time.

In the first chapter, How to Arrange your Stuff, Hilary identifies and illustrates four different approaches to arrangements – intuitive, narrative, practical and curatorial – and shows how each one can be achieved. She also considers the variety of display locations available within the home – walls, mantelpieces, windowsills, chests of drawers, tabletops – and suggests how to make the most of them. Next, in Stories Told by Real Homes, Hilary shares insider knowledge drawn from the experience of creating interiors that fall into five different styles – Neatnik, Bohemian, Naturalist, Sculpture Vulture and Noble Salvage. Some people are magpies – they love stuff; finding, collecting, and displaying it – while their opposite, the minimalists, are on a mission to contain or tame it. The ideas in this book will appeal to magpies, minimalists and everyone in between.

About the Author:

Hilary Robertson is a well-known interior stylist and journalist with an illustrious client list that includes Canvas, Ochre, Elle Decoration, Vogue Living, and the Telegraph Magazine. Also a talented writer, Hilary wrote the text for Josephine Ryan’s 'French Home' and is the author of 'The Stuff of Life', both of which are published by Ryland Peters & Small.

From the cofounder of Waterworks comes a beautifully curated collection of dream bathrooms designed by today’s top architects and interior designers, from Commune to Suzanne Kasler.

In The Perfect Bath and The Perfect Kitchen, Barbara Sallick walked readers through the creation of stylish, functional spaces. With the renewed emphasis on the importance of home, her new book takes bath design a step further. The Ultimate Bath devotes its elegantly illustrated chapters to the most luxuriously designed bathrooms from a wide-ranging list of contributors, including Gil Schafer, Nickey Kehoe, Brigette Romanek, and Miles Redd. These are baths that, while grounded in timeless elements, surprise and enchant. There are grand baths of high style with elegant mirrored and marble surfaces. There are bold rooms of rich maximalist pattern and color. There are strictly tailored spaces of great restraint and serenity. And finally, there are baths with restorative views to the garden or forest — or in the middle of nature themselves.

Gathered together, these spaces seduce, delight, and serve as a visual blueprint for readers looking to create rest, refuge, and beauty at home. The end result is a book that celebrates the unexpected and inspires readers to bring a magical quality to their own baths, no matter how modest or grand.

In her first book, Elle Decor A-List decorator Ashley Whittaker shares the secrets of her colorful, pattern-filled classic rooms.

Ashley Whittaker’s work is distinctively classic and sophisticated, but also inviting and warm. Dubbed a neo-traditionalist, she fearlessly marries adventurous colors and patterns in rooms yet still manages to retain a sense of elegance and restraint. In The Well-Loved House, she shares a selection of dwellings, from gracious Connecticut estates to chic Manhattan pieds-à-terre to waterfront beach houses on the Florida coast, most exclusively photographed for this book, including her own house never before seen. Whittaker believes houses are meant to be beautiful, but also lived in and enjoyed, and she shares her knowledge and strategies for achieving this interplay. Within each house, Whittaker offers guidance on furniture plans, complementing the architecture of a space, playing with color, and mixing pattern. She explains why it is important to have consistent threads throughout a home, but also contrast and juxtaposition. The results are stunning: Bohemian patterns mix with classic palettes; rich, saturated color mingles with highly polished finishes. Lacquered blue walls show off a collection of blue-and-white porcelain. An inviting L-shaped sofa and games table reinvent an unused library into a favorite space for socializing.

Whittaker’s houses all share both a sense of drama and a sense of comfort — they are homes that welcome you at the end of a long day, homes for living, homes to love.

About the Author:

Ashley Whittaker’s work has been featured in Veranda, House Beautiful, the New York Times, Southern Living, Coastal Living, and Domino. Acclaimed ceramicist Christopher Spitzmiller is the author of A Year at Clove Brook Farm.

Від автора бестселера про оздоблення дому For the Love of White надихає та інформативний посібник зі створення затишного дому в усі пори року за допомогою білої та нейтральної палітри.

«Мені подобається, щоб у домі було тепло, затишно, особисто та затишно, і навчитися прикрашати його білими та нейтральними кольорами — чудовий спосіб досягти цього». - Кріссі Ракер

У своїй довгоочікуваній другій книзі «Мистецтво жити з білим» Кріссі Ракер, засновник The White Company, досліджує 10 надихаючих будинків, які чудово ілюструють різні способи використання білого та нейтральних кольорів у різні пори року. Будинки різняться за розміром, стилем і місцем розташування – від мінімалістичного міського парку до заміського будинку в стилі Нової Англії, – але об’єднує їх усі гостинність, стиль і спокій, які створили їхні власники.

Домівки згруповані за чотирма сезонами, і кожен розділ закінчується коротким викладом сезонних ритуалів, які будуть працювати в будь-якому домі. Заключний розділ – «Натхнення та ресурси» – розглядає пошук власного стилю, те, як створити гарний баланс між роботою та домом у внутрішніх приміщеннях, мистецтво простих розваг та важливість аромату та дотику в справді комфортному домі.

Про авторів:

Кріссі Ракер є засновником і власником The White Company. Її історія почалася в 1994 році, коли вона не змогла знайти красиво оформлені, якісні білі предмети першої необхідності, які були б доступними за ціною.
Те, що починалося як 12-сторінкова компанія із замовлення поштою, стало одним із найулюбленіших брендів Великобританії з понад 60 магазинами в Європі та США.

Сьогодні The White Company надзвичайно розвинулась і стала повноцінним брендом стилю життя, пропонуючи широкий асортимент основних аксесуарів для дому, які дійсно роблять дім домом. Від красивої постільної білизни, рушників і порцеляни до більш широкого асортименту ароматизованих ванн і домашніх ласощів, а також асортименту для дітей, The Little White Company, вона також представила захоплюючий асортимент одягу, одягу для відпочинку та нічного одягу, а також меблів, освітлення та килимів.

Кріссі виросла в графстві Кент і покинула школу в 16 років, щоб вивчати дизайн від кутюр у Лондоні. Її трудове життя почалося у 18 років, працюючи в журналах, зокрема Harpers & Queen, Brides, GQ і Vogue. Вона також обіймала PR-роль у Clarins.
Відома своєю прискіпливою увагою до деталей під час створення продуктів, Кріссі прагне постійно вдосконалюватись, а також радувати клієнтів. Вона та The White Company отримали багато нагород, у тому числі MBE та OBE за послуги в роздрібній торгівлі, нагороду The Sunday Times Profit Track 100 Best Brand Award, Private Business Woman of The Private Business Awards 2012, спонсорованої PWC спільно з HSBC, і нагороду ECMOD за найкраще обслуговування клієнтів.
У 2014 році Кріссі заснувала The White Heart Foundation, допомагаючи незахищеним молодим чоловікам, жінкам і дітям. Кріссі також є покровителькою-засновницею Фонду принца, що підтримує жінок, і є послом Everywoman.
Кріссі живе зі своїм чоловіком Ніком, який «був моїм постійним натхненням і роком», і є мамою Тома, Елли, Індії та Беа.

A sweeping survey of the work of celebrated bon vivant Federico Forquet-whose decades-long design career has embraced couture fashion, elegant interiors, and imaginative gardens, reflecting both the best of Italian style and the dolce vita era of Rome.

Through his long and crowded life, polyglot designer Federico Forquet has been by turns a couturier who learned his craft at Balenciaga's side and whose creations for his eponymous house clothed the best-dressed women of the day; a decorator of interiors of singular style and charm; a discriminating collector of rare and beautiful objects, furnishings, and pictures; and a creator of magical gardens.

For the first time, the many worlds of this creative visionary are brought together in a richly illustrated celebration of style: from imagery of his lavish haute-couture gowns featured in 1960s and '70s Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, and other fashionable publications and worn by trendsetters such as Marella Agnelli, Sophia Loren, and Diana Vreeland to picturesque scenes of verdant Tuscan gardens and opulent, old-world Roman villas and palazzos decorated by Forquet. Accompanied by insightful texts from the design world's authoritative voices, this inspiring and utterly enchanting tome will appeal to readers fascinated by fashion, social history, gardens, interior design, and Italian style.

Exuberant interior designer Muriel Brandolini presents the broad scope of her whimsical style, combining the contemporary with classic elegance. 

Muriel Brandolini’s exceptional taste and unconventional aesthetic have made her a celebrated international interior designer. Her multicultural background-Vietnam, the Caribbean, and France-has influenced her unusual style, which is a mix of exoticism, elegance, and fantasy. Her interiors are marked by a dynamic colour sense, bold textures and patterns, and an unusual combination of antique and contemporary furnishings. 

Beautifully photographed, this look into Brandolini’s sophisticated world includes profiles of select residences-ranging from a seductive apartment marked by a dramatic draped Marie Antoinette-style bed and an entryway embellished with beaded song lyrics, to an airy beach house with a stairwell of hanging embroidered lanterns. Considered a design laboratory, her legendary townhouse is shown in several iterations. Included are such signature details as fabric walls, slipper chairs covered in hand-pieced antique fabrics, found treasures, and Asian-style split bamboo window shades. 

This avant-garde style-setter shows that with an unfettered imagination one can create an alluring home environment. 

About The Author

Muriel Brandolini was a fashion stylist before turning to decorating. Her work has been profiled in Harper’s Bazaar, The World of Interiors, Vogue, and Elle Decor. Wendy Goodman is the design director at New York Magazine. Franca Sozzani is editor in chief of Italian Vogue.

A reassuring, idea-filled guide to decorating by interior designer Leslie Banker, enriched by advice and contributions from other prominent decorators.

Interior designer Leslie Banker grew up learning the trade by her decorator mother’s side. The most important thing her mother taught her was that thinking like a decorator means focusing on developing the story of the space and its inhabitants. That story is what gives a place style, depth, character, and its own unique look, as well as — most importantly — makes the people who live there happy. Think Like a Decorator shows readers how to do just that.

Banker teaches readers how to drill down and articulate what appeals to them. She explains how to drop anchors for the project, whether it’s a favorite paint color or an inherited family piece, and what is essential to living comfortably in a home (hint: enough chairs at the dinner table). Banker also covers how to identify what is not working currently (the pile of backpacks that grows at the end of each day in that neglected corner) and how to solve the inevitable issues that will arise (the paint color that turned garish on the wall).

Witty and entertaining, with Q and As from noted designers including Alexa Hampton, Tom Scheerer, Amanda Nisbet, Katie Ridder, and Christopher Spitzmiller, Think Like a Decorator is, ultimately, about how to live happily and well at home.

About the Author:

Leslie Banker is principal at Leslie Banker & Company, an interior design and decorating business, and coauthor of The Pocket Decorator and The Pocket Renovator with her late mother Pamela Banker. She lives in New York City and Jamestown, Rhode Island, with her husband and daughter. Alexa Hampton, owner and president of Mark Hampton since 1998, is an AD100, Elle Decor A-List world-renowned interior designer known for translating the classical principles of good design and decoration into some of today's most elegant, enduring, and functional landscapes.

This Is Not a House takes a close look at spaces that reformulate the idea of what “home” means, in innovative houses in cities around the globe. This Is Not a House showcases recent projects that represent the vanguard of architects creating innovative spaces for living in the twenty-first century. Dan Rubinstein and the editors of the Amsterdam-based magazine have selected projects on five continents that will shape how we think of domestic life for a long time to come. Where the great experimenters of the last century were stripping away ornamentation and creating free-flowing spaces for the first time, today’s pioneers are researching the potential of new materials and techniques to push the boundaries of environmental sustainability, as well as creating new forms and bold, sophisticated explorations in the adaptive reuse of spaces originally designed for any number of other purposes.  

This Is Not a House presents the latest built residential projects by such design luminaries as Sou Fujimoto, Plasma Studio, and Michael Maltzan, as well as emerging ones such as Johan Selbing, among others, in an array of locations across the globe, including New York, London, Los Angeles, and Tokyo.

About the Author:

The first monograph of renowned architect and interior designer Thomas Griem in London (5 projects), Hong Kong (2), Paris and on Mallorca (3) and Ibiza. 

Architecture is mutually the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings or other structures with the aim to ultimately improve human life, by creating timeless, free, joyous spaces for all life’s activities. Interior Design is the art of enhancing the interior of a building to achieve a healthier and a more aesthetically pleasing environment for the people using the space. It is the seamless enjoyment of both that ultimately achieves a perfect unison.

Thomas Griem trained in London at the University of Westminster and at the Architectural Association. He has also made furniture, lights and has always been fascinated by the making, designing and creating of not only buildings or interior spaces, but products.

His work as an architect has been diverse, however he found that his passion lay in designing timeless beautiful homes. It has always been exceptionally important for Thomas to genuinely respond to the particular requirements of the client, the site and significantly the budget.

Thomas opened TG Studio in 2011 and this new book is a testament to the success of the studio’s creativity and approach to architecture and interior design.
