In This Must Be the Place, interior designer Chloe Redmond Warner explains how to design a home with real personality, layered with color, pattern, and unexpected touches that feel unmistakably personal.

Little Women on Acid . . . 1970s Sofia Coppola in Palm Beach . . . Stuart Little Goes Big . . . These are the fantasies designer Chloe Redmond Warner concocts for her clients. Now, in her debut book, Warner demonstrates how these beguilingly creative inspirations germinate into delightfully layered interiors.

Though each of Warner's interiors is aesthetically distinct from the next, the homes she features in This Must Be the Place all embrace ornament, tactile materiality, pattern play, sentimental totems, and exuberant color choices.

Formally trained in architecture and known for infusing wit and charm into her designs, Warner has a singular perspective that marries strategic space planning with uniquely personal touches. The result is homes that each have their own defined feeling and serve as meaningful backdrops to all of life's experiences--without taking themselves too seriously.

With confidence and a sense of mischief, Warner infuses her interiors and this book with a poetic mash-up of effortless and refined, pretty and perfectly unexpected.

In This Must Be the Place, Warner expands her design briefs, breaking down the elements--spread between art, architecture, and decoration--that, together, instill a carefully calibrated atmosphere. Each chapter opens with a "Style Guide" adapted from the mood boards she presents clients at the beginning of each project; what she calls a "sourdough starter" for the design.

From there, she articulates how she coaxes her signature mix of color, pattern, materiality, ornament, light, totems, and artifacts. Warner believes that anyone can learn from her design approach and walks readers through her process step by step, while offering lots of insight and inspiration along the way.

With playlists, pop-culture references, and stunning photography that perfectly showcases Warner's personality and her aesthetic, this book is perfect for those looking to inject more creativity, fun, and color into their homes.
