Suzanne Rheinstein A Welcoming Elegance

Over the past decade, celebrated style maker Suzanne Rheinstein has achieved an unprecedented level of refinement and clarity. Her love of objects from the past remains a touchstone, but in her newest rooms, spare modernity and an elegant simplicity hold sway.

Presented are beautifully photographed homes of clients Suzanne Rheinstein has worked with before that reflect a vision of richness tempered by restraint. Her longtime fans will find new inspiration in these pages. Throughout, she shares her ideas of how to live in a relaxed way surrounded by artworks and personal collections. A traditional Georgian library is done in a totally untraditional lacquered green, while a San Francisco town house revamp includes a “California” room filled with Moroccan rugs and rattan chairs, and a serene retreat has a guesthouse evocative of the bohemian 1970s.

Leading interior designer Suzanne Rheinstein’s style is often described as “elegant civility.” She is included on Elle Decor’s A-list, and her projects have been published in Architectural Digest and Veranda, as well as in her best-selling book At Home. She was the owner of Los Angeles shop Hollyhock and has designed fabric and rug collections for Lee Jofa. Michael Boodro is a lifestyle magazine editor and writer.
