Country is a new take on the style, where distressed finishes and modern silhouettes mingle for a warm welcome. Coastal is streamlined, with natural woven fibers, sunfaded linen and neutrals, and blues and whites galore. Mediterranean evokes faraway lands, with a saturated palette, ornate tiles and ikats, and iron details. Finally, theres Beautiful: a peek inside Marks own Hollywood Hills home, which nods to all of his favorite design signaturesincluding Italian wicker, blue and white, AngloIndian antiques, and more. With allnew photography by Amy Neunsinger, the book will inspire with rooms that are lightfilled and crisply patterned, chic yet comfortable, and just the way people want to live today.
