ABOUT THE BOOK

Curated Living: Elegant Interiors and Artful Homes, the new title from Susan Redman, examines the elements interior designers weave together to redefine elegance in the contemporary home. Featuring some of the most artfully curated houses and apartments from around the world, the book illustrates how these stylish sanctuaries are each characterised by poetic interiors filled with designer furniture, bespoke joinery, handcrafted décor and treasured artworks.

Each property has its own chapter, which contains valuable insights from the principal designer on how the home's interiors were crafted. They explain the way in which they have integrated old and new architectural details as well as novel ways to introduce and layer unusual combinations of colour, patterns and textures to create a soft-centred home devoted to comfort and visual delight in equal measure.
