Acclaimed for his understated elegance and European-inspired style, Marshall Watson creates interiors that blend quiet luxury with true comfort.

In his second book, Watson shares all-new work from a wide range of environments, revealing how his design principles adapt to different geographies and climates. Whether a light and airy seaside home in Connecticut or a modern renovation of a barn in Napa Valley, Watson explains how he translates each owner’s lifestyle, the house’s history, and the setting into a highly original form of elegance. Also, for the first time, Watson invites readers into his own homes—his richly layered apartment in Manhattan and his light and airy East Hampton retreat featuring his own landscaped gardens—discussing how he achieves design harmony and how anyone can discover his or her own.

Beautifully photographed and with Watson’s thoughtful texts, this inspiring book is a must-have for interior design lovers.
