Description

Acclaimed interior designer to the A-list, Kathryn M Ireland celebrates 25 years of decorating in A Life in Design.

Organized by location, the book takes an overview of the interiors Kathryn has designed over the past 25 years, including her own homes in Los Angeles, London and the south of France. She shares her story of a life in design, from the early days in LA, where she started her career by decorating a home for Steve Martin, to designing houses all over the world, from California to the Cotswolds. This lavishly illustrated deep dive into Kathryns work is paired with a wealth of chatty, informal and invaluable advice on creating comfort, adding colour, finding and hanging art, designing great spaces for entertaining and the design rules she lives by. A Life in Design is full of character and charm, just like Kathryn herself.
