The Beauty of Home combines refined elegance and innovative simplicity for a fresh, new perspective on traditional interior design.

Magic doesn't necessarily follow a formula, but perhaps it does have a framework. Marie Flanigan's interiors are timeless and soulful--immediately recognizable, yet also reflective of her clients' individual stories. Dive deeper into the nine elements that define her work, including architecture, illumination, composition, and surprise. Peek behind the curtain as Marie reveals her creative process and the essential elements for curating her signature blend of approachable elegance. Uniting poetry with purpose, this book uncovers the true beauty of home.

"Architect-turned-interior designer Flanigan is known for her holistic approach to timeless design informed by a home's architecture. In her first book, she shares her creative process for uncovering and showcasing the beauty in our lives. Though harmony is the overall goal, Flanigan judicially ­­uses juxtaposition to create additional interest.
Anyone trying to emulate Flanigan's refined, somewhat stark look will enjoy learning her methods and also poring over the inspiring photos."-- "Library Journal" (7/28/2020 12:00:00 AM)
