Product Description
Old-world Hollywood glamour embraces modern insouciance in the signature style of internationally acclaimed interior designer Kelly Wearstler. Never one to paint a wall simply white, in her creations Wearstler uses bold colors and patterns and mixes elaborate architectural hardware with furnishings culled from a range of eras. In Modern Glamour, she reveals her decorating secrets and dramatic approach to design.

From basic design principles to personal accents, this gorgeously photographed book explains how Wearstler shapes interiors and exteriors into ingeniously functional environments. A survey of many of her most stunning projects provides ideal examples of bringing what she calls "the elegance of the unexpected" to life in any setting. Whether it is juxtaposing typically masculine and feminine design notions to infuse a room with edge and energy, or using embellishments to put a thematic mark on a room. Wearstler's essentials on design will inspire professional designers and aspiring home decorators alike.

For those who wish to discover how decorative visions can become luxuriant realities, Modern Glamour offers clear and enjoyable guidance on the art of creating seductively stylish spaces.

Inspirational. September 4, 2009
Jessica Goodall
I really liked this book from KW. The interiors and exteriors were fabulous and made me want to spend lots of money. Too bad, I can't really do that. But overall this is a fantastic design book from a fabulous designer. Also read her other book., Domicilium Decoratus.

Beautiful, inspiring pictures! December 16, 2008
G. Castaneda (San Diego)
Kelly Wearstler deserves all her success. Along with Jonathon Adler they helped launch a whole new era of design: Hollywood Regency. It's glamorous, exciting, with vivid jewel toned colors, dramatic white, black and even pink. I was so sick of midcentury modern and am glad there is a whole new style out there. Wearstler book is a great example: all the essential pieces are there and layed out beautiful in high quality large photographs. It has become my favorite decorating book. I am a feng shui consultant and have been able to incorporate many elements of Hollywood Glam style into my practice. LOVE IT!

The book is really great when it comes to interior decoration. Ms Wearstler definitely has a knack for colour, and I like the creative way she used fresh colours and chic furniture to create new looks.

Beware though. Ms Wearstler seemed to like Asian religious icons in her decoration. I do not think that this gives due respect to our religion. As this is common amongst western interior decorators, this use of objects sacred to others as mere decorative items, Ms Wearstler could be forgiven for this.
