Celebrated interior designer Suzanne Rheinstein focuses on the use of rooms—from entries to outdoor spaces—that reflect her relaxed, elegant style, in which beauty and comfort are paramount. Suzanne Rheinstein is a master at translating traditional style into something fresh and elegant. In Rooms for Living, she shows how to achieve a calm and livable environment in casual or more formal settings. Rheinstein presents welcoming rooms to share with others, as well as private, cozy spaces for relaxing or sleeping. Included are examples of refashioned spaces, such as a neglected living room that has been repurposed for reading and writing, and a kitchen that has been expanded to accommodate informal meals. Rheinstein also offers innovative ideas on how to make a statement with an entryway by adding vibrant color, dress a bed for ultimate comfort and romance with luxurious pillows, display books in an understated way, and create a unique party atmosphere. No small detail is overlooked. Beautifully photographed, this inspiring book is a must-have for design-savvy individuals.
"Rooms For Livingillustrates the designer's skilled touch room by room - inviting antiques-filled entry halls, comfortable but rigorously curated living rooms; and welcoming dining rooms, including one that conjures a garden, with wall murals and hand-painted porcelain." -ELLE DECOR
"Much in keeping with the design style that Rheinstein is known for, whether designing homes on both coasts or through her many fabric and furniture lines, there is a timeless elegance that is associated with her work. . . . no detail, however small, is overlooked." -California Home & Design Online
"Attention to subtle detail, proportion and texture are evident in all [Rheinstein's] designs . . . From entrance halls to powder rooms, Rheinstein offers inspiration and advice on how to live with beauty and comfort throughout your home." -Quintessence Blog
"It seems appropriate, then, that Suzanne Rheinstein, a designer known for creating comfortable and gracious interiors, would christen her latest book, Rooms for Living. Peruse her work in this inspiring book, and you'll see that her rooms are never contrived nor affected. Instead, they are big, beautiful invitations for living, offering themselves up as spots for relaxing, for example, or entertaining." -PEAK OF CHIC BLOG
