No Place Like Home: Interiors by Madeline Stuart

Product Information

Madeline Stuart creates interiors the defy categorization, unless breathtakingly beautiful can be considered a category. In her debut monograph, No Place Like Home, eight magnificent residences, ranging from a landmarked Streamline Moderne house with an old Hollywood pedigree, to a newly built modernist lodge in “Big Sky County” are presented in rapturous detail." — Incollect I want to reinvent the wheel every time and I want everything to be completely unique,” she says. “That may not be a good business strategy, but that’s the only way I wanted to do it, in a way that was interesting to me. There are so many beautiful things in the world, why do the same thing over and over?” Like it might not be your style, right? People might say, ‘I don’t like Arts and Crafts’ or ‘That house is too fancy,’” she says. “But so much of it is also making sure that the chair is really comfortable or that they have a place to watch TV.” In No Place Like Home, Stuart herself writes eloquently about her recent work. With insight and wit, she walks the reader through her design process, from initial vision to execution. From her meticulous renovation of Cedric Gibbons’s Streamline Moderne house to a newly built Montana ranch to a Mediterranean-inspired residence on the California coast, each project is informed by Stuart’s keen understanding of history and craftsmanship as well as her skill with scale, proportion, and balance. These, along with her unexpected combinations of furniture and fine-art and decorative elements, result in richly layered interiors that feel authentic to their period and place, while remaining always relevant, modern, and beautiful.

Think beyond the trends - it's more important to try and build a palette around things that you love, rather than trends. You'll love it a lot longer.'While born in New York, Stuart (the daughter of director Mel Stuart, best-known for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory)and his wife Harriet (a noted hostess and decorator in her own right) was raised in Los Angeles, so knows her movie history well. In the introduction, she paints an indelible picture of growing up in a house with frescos on the ceiling and patterned wood floors in the Spanish Revival style — classic old-school Hollywood — in a floral-patterned bedroom she didn’t particularly care for. But it gave her an eye for interiors that “feel authentic and somewhat undecorated,” she writes.
