Live Beautiful

Live Beautiful is the interior design book by Athena Calderone, creator of EyeSwoon, and it looks the part before you even open it: a soft linen-toned cover, quiet serif lettering and a single cover image of a light-washed brownstone room with black steel windows, a cane-backed chair and an olive branch in a dark ceramic vase.

Inside, Calderone taps into her network of interior decorators, fashion designers and tastemakers to reveal how carefully crafted interiors come together, and opens the doors to two of her own residences. With each homeowner she traces the initial spark of inspiration that began the design journey, along with the deeply personal objects, stories and references that accompanied it. She then breaks the rooms down into their details – layered textures and patterns, collected pieces, customised vignettes – with practical tips for bringing those elevated elements into your own home.

Filled with gorgeous photography by Nicole Franzen, this design book is both a showpiece of exquisite interiors and a guide to creating a home that is unique and thoughtfully put together. At 23 × 28 cm it sits comfortably on a coffee table, a console or a low stack beside the sofa in a living room.
