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.
