Celebrated interior designer Kincaid, known for her exquisite color palettes, custom details, and timeless style, opens the door to rooms where color, light, and bespoke dressmaker details, elevate a space from polished to unforgettable.

Kincaid explains how the foundations of great design—proportion, layout, and light—set the stage, while antiques, personal collections, and custom finishes bring a space to life. From hand-painted trelliswork to lacquered surfaces and couture details, her collaborations with talented artisans make every project stand out.

The book takes readers inside a range of remarkable homes, including a cozy Sun Valley ski retreat, a chic New York City penthouse, a breezy East Hampton escape, a charming Charlotte home, and an elegant Boston townhouse. Room by room, Kincaid discusses her choices for color, materials, textiles, and accessories, offering inspiration for dining rooms, living spaces, kitchens, bedrooms, powder rooms, and even outdoor areas. Contributors such as wallpaper specialist de Gournay, Leontine Linens, and textile designer Lisa Fine share insights into crafting the luxurious elements that define her look.
