The first Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler book in more than thirty years, presenting the enduring and evolving interiors of one family’s homes.

This is an inspiring story about home—how beautiful interiors evolve alongside the lives lived within them, and how a close collaboration between decorator and client can create spaces of lasting comfort and belonging. 

Over twenty-five years, the renowned designer Hooper and his client have worked to create three exceptional family homes in London and Scotland. This book traces their creative journey, revealing how a shared design vision develops over time—how interiors are layered, refined, and reimagined, and how treasured furniture and objects move seamlessly from one home to the next. 

From a reimagined Victorian house in Notting Hill to a serene Chelsea artist’s studio and a striking contemporary home in the Scottish Highlands, each project offers a distinct expression of modern traditional interior design united by an emphasis on comfort, character, and authenticity. This long-anticipated volume is an inspiration to the art of creating homes that reflect not only style but the lives and memories they hold.
