Bestselling author Sikes, now the “standard bearer of great American design” (Architectural Digest), returns with a new book of fresh yet classic American decorating.

In this third book of the Beautiful trilogy, Sikes celebrates a full year of beautiful interiors inspired by nature. Colors, patterns, and textures, including his favorite blue and white, chinoiserie, rattan, gingham, stripes, and more, came from the world outside these rooms. In twelve chapters, he shares inspiration and advice from homes he has designed across America and abroad. There is a house for every month of the year, inspired by the seasons, from April’s leafy green Gardens of Versailles–inspired French Chateau-style home outside of Chicago to crisp navy in East Hampton for June, August’s homage to the pink sands in Bermuda, and holiday reds for December’s Swiss-style chalet on a sweeping horse ranch near Sun Valley, Idaho.

Mia ★★★★★

This book is packed with gorgeous photos of real rooms, and I love how each chapter breaks down a different season's decorating approach. The layout is easy to flip through for quick inspiration. It's already earned a permanent spot on my coffee table.

Samuel J. ★★★★★

I've already dog-eared about a dozen pages for our living room redo — the section on mixing classic furniture with fresher textiles is exactly the nudge I needed. It reads less like a catalog and more like a designer walking you through why a room works.

Claire ★★★★★

The photography alone is worth the price—I've been using it as a coffee table book and guests keep picking it up. What surprised me is how practical the room-by-room decorating ideas are; I actually rearranged my living room based on one chapter.
