Description

Acclaimed for his understated elegance and European-inspired style, Marshall Watson creates interiors that blend quiet luxury with true comfort. With an in-depth knowledge of periods and styles, Watson is known for his meticulously researched designs. His rooms always make architectural sense and his work is often inspired by collaborations with architects. Watson strives to uncover and recognize the special qualities found in historic structures and furnishings, and to preserve them while moving them forward into the present. Watson’s interiors are noted for their calm and lightness of being, which he achieves through a gracious sense of proportion and a harmonious continuity via subtle repetitions in color, pattern, material, and silhouette. In his second book, Watson shares all-new work from a wide range of environments, revealing how his design principles adapt to different geographies and climates. Whether a light and airy seaside home in Connecticut or a modern renovation of a barn in Napa Valley, Watson explains how he translates each owner’s lifestyle, the house’s history, and the setting into a highly original form of elegance. Also, for the first time, Watson invites readers into his own homes—his richly layered apartment in Manhattan and his light and airy East Hampton retreat featuring his own landscaped gardens—discussing how he achieves design harmony and how anyone can discover his or her own. Beautifully photographed and with Watson’s thoughtful texts, this inspiring book is a must-have for interior design lovers. Read more

  • Dull interiors
Format: Hardcover
8 years ago I gave the designers first book a 5 star review, but I was bored with this one. The text is well written, but I didn't find the interiors very inspiring.

  • FULL of inspiration
Format: Hardcover
GORGEOUS book! I loved Marshall's first book, The Art of Elegance, and this one is even better. The photography is spectacular and every project shows such thoughtful attention to detail, location and the client. Every project is so different and so appropriate to the location - Hawaii, California, Florida, New York, the Hamptons...everywhere! ... show more

  • Not for me.

  • Don’t judge a book by its cover!
Format: Hardcover
The cover is absolutely beautiful, but if your into timeless, beautiful rooms filled with beautiful antiques, this might not be the book for you… I bought the book thinking that’s mostly what the book showcased, but Most of the book is modern, contemporary rooms, and coastal rooms. I know better next time to not judge a book by its cover! LOL ... show more
