Emily and Louisa believe that there is a beauty in the unfolding of a room that takes the eye dancing from one piece to the next, swirling over velvets of peach and gold, gliding over glass and marble, and stopping to take in the homeowner's precious sentimental favorites.

However, it may not be for the minimalist-minded. It kicks off with an ode to "the art of more," and everything that follows--including the graphic design of the book itself, which features ornate lettering, bold stripes, and lots of historical patterns--lives up to that ethos. Designers Emily Ward and Louisa Pierce spill their style secrets--they favor antique Persian and Turkish rugs, and avoid using too much wood in an interior, as it "can veer into a lodge vibe"--while giving readers a glimpse into certain favorite projects, including the homes of A-list clients Melanie Griffith, Josh Brolin, and Kate Hudson. --ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST.COM <p/>Pierce & Ward are a design duo that has burst onto the scene in the last few years with Hollywood clients including Leonardo DiCaprio, Brie Larson, Kate Hudson, and Dakota Johnson.
