Summary:

Well, as luck would have it, I just happened upon the most gorgeous book, replete with the most stunning photography of the works of the world’s most renowned design legends. Oh and bonus! - 100 individually written essays each penned by the designers themselves. What? Yes!

More Details

As much as I love to write, Wingnuts & Wallpaper Blog (shameless plug), sometimes my ADD just needs a large, coffee table book with beautiful, jaw dropping photos for me to drool over. Well, as luck would have it, I just happened upon the most gorgeous book, replete with the most stunning photography of the works of the world’s most renowned design legends. Oh and bonus! – 100 individually written essays each penned by the designers themselves. What? Yes!

“100 variegated perspectives, each creating a discourse on one subject within the design discipline. Together the texts represent a complete course in interior design.” – interiordesignmasterclass.com

Interior Design Master Class is destined to become a classic reference book to stand the test of time. Edited by Carl Dellatore and published by Rizzoli , the book is 352 pages chock full of the work ,inspiration and essays of the likes of Kelly Wearstler, Thomas Pheasant, Darryl Carter, Barbara Barry, and 96 more insanely talented interior designers.

The book is indeed a master class as the essays aren’t just fluff and weightless filler. They are, instead, a deep reaching and raw exposition of what drives and motivates each artist. Each individual designer’s paradigm is expressed in their own words and their heart and passion practically leaps up from the ink on the paper.

The book is divided into six sections; Theory, Structure, Style, Process, Elements and Inspiration. Kelly Wearstler’s Section is Style and her essay is entitled Glamor. Very apropos. Every contributing designer is placed strategically within as well.  Mario Buatta: Exuberance, Thomas O’Brien: Vintage Modern, Bunny Williams: Comfort. Each title deeply reflects the inner core and aesthetic of both the artist and the human being. It’s like being privy to insider secrets and it’s both elucidating and fascinating. And beautiful.

And then there is this:

“My philosophy and aesthetic are deeply entrenched in trusting my instincts and embracing anomalies. If there is one thing I have never lost in my career, it is my insatiable thirst for newness; my disposition as an artist is one of perpetual romance with the new.” – Kelly Wearstler

“Great decorating is powerful. Interiors, from the subtle to the demonstrative , have the ability to change the way we think and the way we feel. And while I appreciate a quiet, understated room, I am happiest in a clever, uninhibited room that is filled with color and patter.” – Anthony Baratta

These are just wee tidbits of the beauty that is contained within this amazing work.

Interior Design Master  Class  contains some pretty deep and insightful stuff. Not only is it an impressive collection of some of the world’s most beautiful interiors, it is an important source of reference and inspiration. One can just dive and explore the fathoms of what makes these geniuses tick…..or just look at the pretty pictures. Whatever your preference or mood, The Interior Design Master Class is a guaranteed classic and here to stay.

Darla Powell

Darla knows quite a bit about needing a retreat from everyday obligations. She spent the first half of her adult life in a completely different industry, dealing with harrowing situations on a daily basis. Eventually, her true calling would no longer be ignored, and Darla launched her interior design career full-time in 2016. Her business has been growing steadily ever since, almost exclusively by word of mouth. Clients are drawn to her genuine, down-­to-­earth approach.Because of her previous career, Darla is always calm under pressure and can handle just about any situation. And as anyone who’s been through a renovation can tell you, these things just love to test the limits of Murphy’s Law.Endless childhood days spent rummaging through her grandmother’s antique store gave Darla an extensive knowledge of antiques and collectibles. And she’s got an eye for spotting the diamond in the rough, taking a complete eyesore and transforming it into a gorgeous, elegant and soothing space.
