Synopsis

Mariette Himes Gomez, author of the bestselling Rooms and Houses, now turns her award-winning design sensibility to Apartments. Lavishly photographed in New York, London, and Florida, Apartments showcases the elegance and style that has made Gomez one of Architectural Digest’s Top 100 Decorators Worldwide, and a go-to interior designer for a client list that includes Harrison Ford, Peter Lynch, and director Ivan Reitman. From the placement of an antique French cabinet in a 1920’s Rosario Candela apartment in New York City to the replacement of mirrored walls for concrete floors in an ocean-side deck in Palm Beach, Apartments provides practical guidelines for building, buying, or renovating, and reveals how to create homes of unparalleled beauty and grace.

Explore thirteen distinct homes and discover Gomez’s philosophy on creating timeless interiors:

• Mixing Modern and Traditional: Learn how to hang a contemporary painting over a Chippendale chair or place a 1940s French mirror in a classic 1920s apartment.
• Space Planning Solutions: Discover professional tricks to make any room feel larger, from aligning doorways to create long sightlines to editing your possessions for a clean, uncluttered look.
• Working with Neutrals: See how Gomez layers thousands of shades of white, ivory, and taupe—combined with rich textures—to create rooms that are serene, calm, and deeply personal.
• Decorating with Art: Find inspiration for displaying your own collection, whether it’s a series of Cy Twombly works on paper or a single sculptural piece that holds an entire wall.
• Architectural Details: Appreciate the character of your space, from the grand proportions of a Rosario Candela building to the elegant line of a simple crown molding.
