Description
The Inspired Home celebrates stylish living through beautifully crafted interiors that artfully reflect the personal and unique styles of the creative individuals who reside there. Through the romantic and artful photographs of Ditte Isager, authors Kim Ficaro and Todd Nickey guide the reader through the homes of fifteen dynamically creative individuals, including: Art Director Doug Lloyd's Hamptons beach house, musician Moby's Los Angeles home, and Mads and Cecile Norgaard's Copenhagen boathouse. Organized by theme, chapters are broken down to present different lifestyles and aesthetics: homes inspired by light and love; by darkness and mystery; by the quiet and still; or by natural landscapes or the seaside. Both youthful and sophisticated as well as romantic and upscale, the living spaces within The Inspired Home leave the reader thoroughly inspired to embrace their own inner creative voice to express their style in their own interiors.

"Inspired Home: Nest of Creatives by Kim Ficaro and Todd Nickey, celebrates the personal styles of dynamic creatives, revealing how inspirations translate to the home. The book opens the doors to masterful spaces of celebrated musicians, stylists, writers, producers, designers and tastemakers. With styles that vary from bohemian modern to beach chic, each space reflects how to live well among one's passions and histories." -EditorAtLarge.com"There's nothing we enjoy more than seeing how the other half lives-especially the cool creative half. You'll be jealous and inspired at the same time." -New York Post
"...beautiful coffee-table book...reaveals the inspiring combination of natural light and accidental, lived-in beauty." -New York Times Magazine
"Good books transport us--and this one takes us right into beautiful homes across the country and beyond." -Martha Stewart Living
"...a brilliant new book...The 208 pages of this highly original book are filled with original, bohemian, quirky and expressive and wildly personal interiors. In this new book, Ficaro and Nickey-deeply involved in the creative worlds of New York-have gathered a worldly roster of talented and ingenious (and home-loving) 'creatives'. Their pals in the field and friends of friends in the book include stylists, artists, architects, editorial stylists, fashion designers, a photographer, as well as creative directors...The interiors shown in The Inspired Home are highly diverse and diverting. Those 'at home' include art directors who plan and style and direct the visuals for catalogs or marketing programs as well as photo stylists for fashion companies and furniture designers, a potter. Few are big names in decorating, but their style, collections, editing, and eccentricity shines through. If you love the comfort, aesthetic and power of 'imperfection' this is your book." -The Style Saloniste
"In a beautifully crafted volume, Kim Ficaro and Todd Nickey immerse themeselves in the private worlds of some public creative types to "reveal the true nature of what makes a home a home." -Vogue Living
