This first book on esteemed interior designer and tastemaker Richard Keith Langham presents lavish imagery and insider information on his life and process - placing him within the context of his mentors, Mark Hampton and Keith Irvine, and his contemporaries. This book will be a welcome addition to the libraries of decorators, architects, and design-savvy individuals who purchased books on Hampton, Irvine, Mario Buatta, and Albert Hadley, as well as Langham's friends and contemporaries Jeffrey Bilhuber and Tom Scheerer.
From Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and Pat Buckley to Hilary Swank and Blaine Trump, Langham has worked with a glamorous clientele. This volume presents his captivating stories and lush interiors - classic American with a vibrant and pattern-friendly Southern flair - that will inspire design aficionados, home decorators, and fellow interior designers.
Other people's rooms -- Time regained -- Tropical punch -- Upstairs downstairs -- Barn again -- Georgian on my mind -- A bedroom and a ballroom -- Pomp and circumstance -- Since I fell for you -- Into the woods -- A sunny disposition -- A home at the end of the world -- Bricks and bones -- Infinite mystery, infinite delight -- From Brewton to Manhattan -- If these walls could talk.
This first book on the esteemed decorator and tastemaker - known for beautiful interiors that are replete with tradition, saturated color, elegance, and Southern flair - will delight design aficionados. Richard Keith Langham's all-American interiors unite a traditional approach with dashes of whimsy, beautiful tailoring, and an exuberant color palette. Langham charms and inspires with a selection of city and country projects - waterside estates on Maryland's Eastern shore and Florida's Jupiter Island, gracious country houses in Pennsylvania and Connecticut, a grand town house in New Orleans, and city residences in New York, DC, and Memphis. Langham conjures his own brand of design magic by addressing his clients' rooms with the rigors of classicism, paired with an innate Southern predilection for paired-down elegance. Signature touches include custom-painted murals, curious antiques, and couture fabrics - motifs that both manifest Langham's design expertise and echo his early influences from working with legends Mark Hampton and Keith Irvine.
