I love architecture and design books. From shabby chic to the gaudiest luxe, if the pictures are gorgeous and the text’s more than just a description of the picture, I’m in. Lemuria is featuring two of our design books now — a new book on Ken Tate’s houses in the South, including Mississippi and New Orleans, A Classical Journey, and Carolyn Roehm’s newest interior design book, A Passion for Interiors.
All of Carolyn Roehm’s books are amazing. We’ve got several of her entertaining books; in one, A Passion for Parties, Roehm’s memoir-like commentary runs alongside photographs of outdoor and indoor festivities for every occasion and season. A Passion for Interiors is her latest book, which invites the reader into three homes, two of which are hers, showcasing her incomparable style: classical architectural details softened by graceful fabrics.
And Tricia Guild’s new book is just fun. Her first book, Pattern, made up of full-page photos of fabric, was a textile-lover’s dream. Colors, Patterns, and Space is no less eye candy; her design style is bright and spunky, mixing up the classical and modern in playful yet incredibly elegant rooms.
