Known for his intriguing mix of classic and modern styles that he masterfully assembles to create timeless, yet edgy, interiors, Alex Papachristidis s decorating has evolved over the last decade, with the incorporation of more artisanal furniture and artwork. This beautifully photographed book features a wide array of new arresting projects (many not published), including a luxe modern Hamptons beach house decorated in all gold, silver, and white; two divine Manhattan townhouses one full of modern art and eighteenth-century furniture and another for a young family that has a stylish vivid palette; and a colourful grand Bohemian Greenwich Village apartment incorporating mid-century furniture. Also included is Papachristidis s over-the-top extraordinary dining room from the 2016 Kips Bay Decorator Show House. Featured on the cover of Veranda, in what remains one of their most popular issues, it has become an iconic room. Throughout the book are tabletop settings styled by Papachristidis that are integrated in many of the featured homes. He shows his clients how to mix such wide-ranging elements as contemporary dishes with antique decorative objects to create eye-catching tableaux. With this book, the author shares his extensive knowledge for gracious living.
