Defining Elegance
Acclaimed for his elegant interiors and European- inspired style, Marshall Watson creates interiors that blend quiet luxury with true comfort. With an in-depth knowledge of periods and styles, Watson is known for his meticulously researched designs. His rooms always make architectural sense, and his work is often grounded in classic architectural principles. Watson’s interiors are noted for their calm and lightness of being, which he achieves through a gracioussense of proportion and a harmonious continuity via subtle repetitions in color, pattern, material, and silhouette.
In his second book, Watson shares all-new work from a wide range of environments, revealing how his design principles adapt to different geographies and climates. Whether a light and airy seaside home in Connecticut or a modern reinterpretation of a barn in Napa Valley, Watson explains how he translates each owner’s lifestyle, the house’s history, and the setting into a highly original form of elegance. Watson also invites readers into his own homes—his richly layered apartment in Manhattan and the beautifully landscaped gardens of his East Hampton retreat—discussing how he achieves design harmony and how anyone can discover his or her own.
