In this fresh and serene first book, Melanie shares her secrets for creating understated, sophisticated, and functional rooms. Balance, scale, light, and subtle coloration all factor into her designs, creating a timeless effect. The elegant spaces featured in the book maintain an emphasis on simplicity and understated glamour, featuring a blend of clean lines, found and fine objects, and custom-designed, sculptural furniture.

Divided by look, the book features multiple homes illustrating each style: Calm, Clarity, Collected, Color, and Cool.

Regardless of the style, these rooms are united in the power and promise of their seamless, edited beauty.
