Creating Beauty: Interiører

The Neoclassical Brooklyn townhouse chapter alone is worth the price—those before-and-after spreads made me rethink my own entryway. The paper quality is heavier than most design books I've bought, so the photography really holds up.

I bought this for the Hudson Valley house chapter alone and it didn't disappoint — the way a modern retreat gets balanced against the more traditional rooms is genuinely instructive. The paper quality makes the large photos feel worth lingering over, too.

The photos of that Central Park West penthouse alone are worth the price—I've flipped through them three times already. Scott walks through each project room by room, so it reads more like a design conversation than a glossy catalog.
