Southern Interiors: A Celebration of Personal Style

Visit the homes of designers, artists, and tastemakers across the southern United States in this celebration of gracious living and personal style

In Southern Interiors, the first book from acclaimed design editor Tori Mellott, creatives across the American South welcome readers into their private homes to share what Southern living means to them. Spotlighting 28 residences in country towns, coastal resorts, and major metropolises, this stunning new book features homes in a variety of architectural and interior design styles, from modern and minimalist to Georgian-inspired to Southern Gothic.

Each of these deeply personal residences illustrates how the region’s traditions of hospitality and easy elegance are being interpreted by the South’s most stylish people today―by mixing heirloom antiques with contemporary art, pairing high-end furnishings with flea-market finds, and drawing inspiration from a rainbow of color palettes.

Peek inside Beth Webb’s coastal South Carolina getaway, artist Hunt Slonem’s historic Louisiana manor, and fashion insider Ann Mashburn’s airy Atlanta home. Among the many other luminaries featured in the book are interior designers Suzanne Kasler and Thomas Jayne, architects Stan Dixon and Bobby McAlpine, and tastemakers Elizabeth Damrich and Kerry Moody.

Since its founding in 1889, luxury design house Schumacher has been committed to design that transcends time and rises above the ordinary. It is the ultimate resource for extraordinary textiles, wallpapers, trim, and home accessories and is renowned as a style leader worldwide.
