A Warm Welcome

ollowing his first book, , interior designer Mark D. Sikes is back with another volume that, the rooms are categorized into five distinct styles that all focus on happiness and the art of filling a space with items you love. “Traditional” is bursting with vibrant color, antique furniture, and plenty of trim and pattern. “Country” is a fresh take on the classic style, where distressed finishes and modern silhouettes create a warm welcome. “Coastal” includes natural woven fibers, linen and neutrals, and an abundance of blues and whites. “Mediterranean” has a saturated palette, ornate tiles, and iron details. Finally, there’s “Beautiful”—a peek inside the designer’s own Hollywood Hills home. This style nods to all of his favorite design signatures such as Italian wicker, blue and white, Anglo-Indian antiques, and more. Readers will enjoy the light-filled, crisp, and chic rooms while also relating to the approachable vibes that homeowners strive for today.
