Live Beautiful: new book by Athena Calderone

March is just around the corner and the month will begin with a brand new design book by Athena Calderone: Live Beautiful.

In this highly anticipated design book, the EyeSwoon creator taps into her international network of interior decorators, fashion designers, and tastemakers to reveal how carefully crafted interiors come together from New York to California and from France to Copenhagen. She also opens the doors to two of her residences to give the readers insight into her design process. 

The interiors in this book are an exercise in creativity that is often difficult to articulate. In tracing the often winding journeys to home, Calderone offers a window into the thought process behind the design — how in the mingling of pieces, a dialogue begins, and the language of a room takes form. 

With each homeowner, Calderone explores the initial spark of inspiration that incited their design journey. She touches upon layered textures and patterns, collected pieces, the importance of contrast and composition, and customized vignettes while offering digestible tips on how to bring these elevated elements into your own home. 

Filled with arresting photography by Nicole Franzen, this book is both a showpiece of exquisite design and a guide to creating a home that is as thoughtfully put together as it is beautiful.
