By Kathryn M Ireland
Acclaimed interior designer to the A-list, Kathryn M Ireland celebrates 25 years of decorating in A Life in Design.
Organized by location, the book takes an overview of the interiors Kathryn has designed over the past 25 years, including her own homes in Los Angeles, London and the south of France. She shares her story of a life in design, from the early days in LA, where she started her career by decorating a home for Steve Martin, to designing houses all over the world, from California to the Cotswolds. This lavishly illustrated deep dive into Kathryn’s work is paired with a wealth of chatty, informal and invaluable advice on creating comfort, adding colour, finding and hanging art, designing great spaces for entertaining and the design rules she lives by. A Life in Design is full of character and charm, just like Kathryn herself.
Born in England and raised between London and Scotland, Kathryn M. Ireland arrived in Los Angeles in 1986. Today she is considered one of the most influential interior and textile designers in the world, with a signature style that is comfortable, colourful, bohemian and down to earth. Kathryn’s clientele includes Steve Martin, Drew Barrymore, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and David Mamet and she is the author of six books. She starred in Bravo TV’s Million Dollar Decorators and ITV’s Design Wars. Kathryn’s own line of fabrics is distributed across the globe and her work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, the Wall Street Journal and The Hollywood Reporter. Kathryn hosts design retreats each summer at her home in France, and design boot camps in Los Angeles for designers and enthusiasts.
