Over the last few years - especially through Instagram we’ve all become familiar with designers from across the pond. I have books in the Chalet’s permanent collection showcasing these amazing interiors I thought I’d share a few. Remember friends the Holidays are coming! Books are amazing gifts!

I am a huge fan of all things India Hicks… and this book A Slice of England celebrates not only her own home in Britain but, her parents beautiful home designed by her brilliant father Interior Designer David Hicks.

Since discovering so many wonderful designers I was thrilled to find so many shared in New English Interiors. This book is packed with inspirational images.

**New English Interiors: At Home with Today's Creative**s

I have been drooling waiting to get this book from the exceptional design team of Mary Graham and Nicole Salvesen. A New English Style does not disappoint!

**A New English Style: Timeless Interiors**

**A New English Style: Timeless Interiors: Is a Room Ever Finished?**

Friends there are so many more books filled with British Interiors.

A Place Called Home by Cath Kidston, Design Secrets by Kit Kemp, A Kind of Magic: The Kaleidoscopic World of Luke Edward Hall by Luke Edward Hall, A Life in Design: Celebrating 30 Years of Interiors by Kathryn M. Ireland and many more. Here is a list of great new British designers per Elle Decor in 2023.

I hope you find inspiration and beauty in these books - I know I do - as well as following many of these creatives on Instagram. Til next time be well and I’ll see you over on the Gram!

Planning a room layout and sourcing pieces for a client is one of the most enjoyable aspects of my job. This week I’m sharing a Teenage Boy Design. I concentrated on Blues, Greys and Driftwood tonality of wood and brought in Brass accents. I had to use this cool side table with a built in charging station. Design is all about understanding the use of a space and bringing it to Life!

I sourced elements as a design professional others as a consumer through - All Modern, Amazon, Crate & Barrel, Ikea, Pottery Barn Kids, Raymour & Flanigan, Target, Visual Comfort, Wayfair and West Elm.
