About the Book

Called 'a master of timeless American style' by Vogue, Markham Roberts is renowned for his boundless creativity and ability to work in a wide range of styles. In this, his second book, he examines his working method, identifying the key elements of a project and explaining how he addresses them. He begins with his top priority - taking into account his clients' point of view by interpreting their needs and reflecting their style, rather than imposing his own vision. In the process, he helps them focus and edit, respecting their wishes while making it work. Other elements include establishing a sense of place, layering and embellishing to make spaces more personal and interesting, acknowledging the need for practicality in the choice of materials, and doing the unexpected, from upholstering walls to mixing disparate materials and styles of furniture.

Throughout, specially commissioned photographs of an array of his latest projects illustrate his solutions to the challenges each of the elements pose. He concludes the book with a chapter on a single project that encompasses all of the elements, making this book a must-have resource for anyone interested in interior design.



About the Author :

Markham Roberts trained with the renowned decorator Mark Hampton before opening his own firm in 1997. Since then, he has earned a reputation as one of the top decorators of his generation, his work featuring in numerous leading international publications including AD, Vogue, Town & Country and the New York Times.

Alison Levasseur is the Editorial Development Manager at AD.

Nelson Hancock works as a photographer, curator, and professor of photography and cultural anthropology.



Review :
"Every project is a welcome, and seemingly very fun, challenge for this designer who refuses to be pigeonholed. This monograph is a testament to that fact, and a visual ode to the embellishment, color, and pattern that recur throughout his work."--ADPRO "He features all those aspects that help to make his work so memorable--from sussing out the client's deepest desires to the practicality of challenges and solutions, the crucial addition of layers and the final touch of something unexpected."--Quintessence "In really listening to his clients, Roberts helps them edit and focus, and, in so doing, he helps them establish a sense of place at home. . . . The book concludes with a single project that encompasses all of the design elements most important to Roberts. Take notes."--Milieu "Interior Designer Markham Roberts is known for timeless, all-American style. His second book, Notes on Decorating, includes work from the past 5 years -- 32 projects in total."--L'Officiel "Markham Roberts has been creating comfortable, tailored interiors for decades. In his second book, the designer shares some of hims most valuable lessons."--House Beautiful "Markham Roberts is renowned as one of the greatest interior designers at work today. . . . His projects have taken him across the country and abroad to create some of the most daring and exciting rooms tailored precisely to his clients' needs."--Sotheby's "Markham Roberts shares his design process with readers to show how he creates timeless, spirited spaces."--Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles "Robert's latest monograph builds upon his often jocular, always informative teachings for designing interiors that are timeless, yet decidedly one of a kind."--Architectural Digest "To see Markham Roberts' new book as merely a collection of pretty rooms is a missed opportunity. His notes that accompany the photos from his favorite projects are lessons in design."--Houston Chronicle

    A Thrilling But Totally Believable Murder Mystery

    Read this in one evening. I had planned to do other things with my day, but it was impossible to put down. Every time I tried, I was drawn back to it in less than 5 minutes. I sobbed my eyes out the entire last 100 pages. Highly recommend!
