Description

Renowned interior designer, design expert, and creator of EyeSwoon, Athena Calderone, presents a compelling exploration of how creatives design and curate their spaces.

“Live Beautiful” goes beyond aesthetics, showing how thoughtful design enhances our daily lives. Calderone draws from her global network of interior decorators, fashion designers, and tastemakers to uncover the process behind stunning interiors. She also invites readers into two of her own homes, offering a personal perspective on design.

Through in-depth conversations with homeowners, Calderone delves into the inspiration behind each space and breaks down the essential elements that bring a room to life—from layered textures and unique décor pieces to custom details. Practical advice is woven throughout, providing readers with actionable tips on incorporating these design principles into their own homes.

This book is more than just a collection of striking interiors. As Calderone states in her introduction, it serves as both an inspiring showcase and a hands-on guide, offering insights into why certain design choices work, the sources behind them, and the foundational principles at play.

Featuring stunning photography by Nicole Franzen, “Live Beautiful” is both a visual delight and a practical resource for anyone looking to create a thoughtfully curated home.
