Gracious Interiors: Thoughtful Decorating for Beautiful Living - Hardcover

Designer Braff is known for an exuberant approach to classic interiors, creating spaces that balance playful glamour with polished sophistication. Her rooms feel joyful yet refined, steeped in pattern, color, and character. Each project reflects a belief in homes that elevate daily life, with interiors that invite celebration, conversation, and connection.

Organized into four sections--Country Living, Summer Escapes, Chic Retreats, and an intimate look at the designer's own welcoming Locust Valley house--this volume presents full residences that highlight a spirited, color-forward sensibility. From a breezy Nantucket getaway to a comfortably elegant house on the coast of Maine, an Antigua escape perched above the sea, and an inviting Palm Beach retreat, the book explores how thoughtful decorating enriches the cadence of living and reflects the personalities of those who inhabit each space.

The lush photography showcases Braff's distinctive command of refined yet playful traditionalism. Bold wallpapers, vibrant prints, chintz, block prints, lacquered finishes, fresh textiles, tailored upholstery, and artful accents reveal interiors that feel both timeless and newly imagined. Throughout, the book celebrates rooms that revel in charm, liveliness, and balance, offering inspiration and advice for admirers of American decorating, East Coast style, and maximalist color. It's an immersive testament to gracious living, vibrant style, and the enduring appeal of beautifully crafted homes.
