Barbara Westbrook has been designing classically inspired homes full of Southern charm and a European touch for more than twenty years. A native of Virginia, Westbrook grew up accompanying her mother to antique shops and was introduced by her to Virginia’s rich architectural legacy. With a design vocabulary that ranges from casual American to formal English to French modern, Westbrook’s homes share a welcoming elegance, whether it is a country cottage or a penthouse apartment. In Gracious Rooms, she sets out her principles for creating a house rich with both polish and patina. Walking the reader through a dozen stunning homes—light-filled lake retreats, contemporary houses, and historic mansions—Westbrook shares her accessible, appealing ideas. From the judicious use of symmetry to the importance of including natural elements in a room, utilizing color to unify spaces within a house, and setting a mood with materials, Gracious Rooms is rich with advice and inspiration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rizzoli","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45254237519925,"sku":"ByrdShop_0847845052","price":50.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780847845057_5afeed73-0f12-4fac-9799-53633a1c23df.jpg?v=1779956244","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/barbara-westbrook-gracious-rooms-9780847845057","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
