More beautiful : all-American decoration / Mark D. Sikes ; photography by Amy Neunsinger ; text by Kathryn O'Shea-Evans.

Sikes, Mark D., (author,, designer.). Neunsinger, Amy, (photographer.). O'Shea-Evans, Kathryn, (author.).

Summary:

The author of Beautiful is back with a new book of his interiors, filled with blue-and-white vignettes, wicker, saturated color, and pretty patterns. Interior designer Mark D. Sikes burst onto the publishing scene with his New York Times best-selling first book, Beautiful. His new book, aptly titled More Beautiful, picks up where the first left off, in a celebration of classic, all-American decorating. The rooms featured in More Beautiful are divided into five distinct styles, all of which exude the happiness that comes with surrounding oneself with things you love. "Traditional" is chockablock with vibrant color, antique furniture, and heady doses of trim and pattern. "Country" is a new take on the style, where distressed finishes and modern silhouettes mingle for a warm welcome. "Coastal" is streamlined, with natural woven fibers, sun-faded linen and neutrals, and blues and whites galore. "Mediterranean" evokes faraway lands, with a saturated palette, ornate tiles and ikats, and iron details. Finally, there's "Beautiful": a peek inside Mark's own Hollywood Hills home, which nods to all of his favorite design signatures--including Italian wicker, blue and white, Anglo-Indian antiques, and more. With all-new photography by Amy Neunsinger, the book will inspire with rooms that are light-filled and crisply patterned, chic yet comfortable, and just the way people want to live today.

Summary

More Beautiful : All-American Decoration


Interior designer Mark Sikes burst onto the publishing scene with his first book Beautiful. His second book, aptly titled More Beautiful , picks up where the first left off, showcasing Mark's most recent decorating work and providing the reader with details on how to get the look. The rooms are divided into five styles. Traditional features rooms filled with painted wicker, botanical curtains, and inviting chintz armchairs. Country is a modern take on the style, with striped sisal stair runners, bamboo blinds, and white painted wood. Cottage is streamlined, with natural woven fibres, and furniture with simple lines. California is richly patterned, tailored and layered. Mediterranean features a deeper palette with tile, ikat, and wood. No matter the theme, all of the rooms are light-filled and crisply patterned, chic yet comfortable, just the way people want to live today.
