Detailed description:
This New York Times bestselling book from interior designer Mark D. Sikes is a celebration of American style today, showcasing chic and accessible ideas for every home. Modern and unfussy, Mark D. Sikes’s interiors are classic takes on California indoor/outdoor living, with natural fibers and crisp coloration, informed and influenced by the fashion world where he began his career. In eight chapters, he explores approachable, stylish looks, from “Blue and White Forever,” which features indigos, stripes, batiks, and wicker in casual rooms such as porches and pool houses; to “Timeless Neutrals,” presenting semiformal rooms filled with chinoiserie, gilt, glass, mirrors, banquettes, and French chairs; to “Garden Greens,” featuring happy, casual family rooms and kitchens inspired by the garden with treillage woodwork, rattan, and cotton. There are also “Beautiful Brights,” colorful rooms that are eclectic, layered, and fun, with chintz, florals, and Middle Eastern influences; and “Sun Faded Hues,” rustic coastal rooms with weathered fabrics and furniture. Each chapter presents light-filled images of the designer’s looks and offers the reader inspiration and advice. As famed film director Nancy Meyers writes in the book’s foreword, this is a book that shows design lovers “how classic can look fresh, how style and comfort go hand-in-hand.”

Gorgeous book full of lovely pictures of interiors to make your mouth water. Beautiful styling. Well worth buying if, like me, you are a house/interiors nut.

This book and his other book more beautifully are the best I’ve purchased for decorating. He has a beautiful mostly traditional style that I love. Would recommend both books to anyone who appreciates beautifully crafted interiors.

They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but in this case, it is perfectly appropriate. Beautiful is exactly that– beautiful, inspiring, thoughtful, and full of special details. The book is divided by some of Mark’s favorite color palettes for both interiors and fashion. Each chapter begins with a beautiful mood board and is followed by Mark’s thoughts on the chapter’s theme and so many gorgeous images. Beautiful is filled with quite a few never-before-seen projects and all of the things Mark loves most– blue and white, stripes, Chinoiserie, verdant gardens, and his signature take on classic California interiors. This is undoubtedly a book that I will return to again and again for inspiration.

Mi e’ piaciuto tutto di questo libro. Le bellissime foto che mostrano lo straordinario stile di questo artista, e le stupende case che ti portano in viaggio nei luoghi dove si trovano, dando ispirazione x l’amore che viene messo nell’arredare le case.

This is a beautiful book! The book is based on specific color schemes, so if those color schemes aren’t present in your own home (as is my case) you may not directly relate to the lovely photos. Still, I enjoyed looking at the photos and still found some inspiration – mostly that I need to add a few more pieces of blue and white porcelain into my Living Room.
Each page has text to describe the photo. Some of the text started with a larger font and I found it was helpful to read these descriptions as they provided some of the inspiration regarding the photos. In other cases, the photo text was smaller and merely describing what was in the photo. As I got about 2/3 through the book I found myself skipping the captions with smaller print as I didn’t think they really added to the photo itself and I just wanted to enjoy! In other words, they were more of a distraction.
My favorite chapter was on the color red – Excellent!

This is a stunning decorating book in every way. I am only on page 135 and needed to write a review immediately. This will be my new go to decorating book. Mark D. Sikes did an amazing job of organizing the book by interior color. I am a huge fan of blue. The color blue is represented well on the cover as well as throughout the book. The interiors are absolutely beautiful and layered in a masterful way. It was difficult for me to turn to page 18 because the room on pages 16 & 17 is beyond wonderful, especially the blue design on the draperies. The dedication of this book also touched me in that he honored his grandparents who stressed working hard and dreaming big. I can’t wait to see the rest of this book. Job well done! This book will be inspirational to many who love to live beautifully.

This book and his second book and just authority of lush, maximalist design. His use of fabrics and pattern play is brilliant!

This is one of the best decorating books I have gotten in a long time. Cannot wait til Mark’s next book is out. I love the way the chapters are done by color scheme, etc. I am a neutral person and I found so many decorating ideas that I hope to use in my new townhome. I was never a Blue person, but the blues are so beautiful and I hope to incorporate into my color schemes. I find green to be one of my favorites. These tranquil colors can be used in any room or sunroom of your home. His decorating style is exactly what I want for my new home. His arrangement of furniture and decorating ideas are outstanding. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for new and refreshing styles for decorating. I would give this book a 5-Plus. I cannot wait to incorporate a lot of Mark’s ideas into my home.
