Description

In his first book, he presents his take on classic interiors that have been beautifully reimagined for today s taste, sharing the building blocks of this fun, vibrant traditional look. Bold Standard is about how to use colour in unexpected ways. Good Bones showcases architectural details. Less Is More focuses on creating a minimal look within a traditional interior. Eclectic Exuberance celebrates a collected appeal. Night and Day is a new look at the classic, graphic pairing of dark and light colours. Haute House looks at accessorizing with fashion-inspired elements. Playful Spaces is about creating rooms that cater to lounging, and nesting: kids bedrooms, family rooms, reading nooks, homework areas. With sidebars on practical questions such as how to hang a salon-style picture wall and choosing the right window treatment, this is a must-have book for fans of a fresh, traditional look.

"Corey Damen Jenkins's masterful book has remained at the top of our editors' reading lists since its debut in 2021. The brilliant tome showcases the designer's fresh and colorful take on traditional design while sharing Jenkins's advice on how to emulate the youthful look for yourself." -VERANDA"Corey Damen Jenkins's first book offers an enticing glimpse into the newly christened AD100 designer's bold interiors. Subsections focus on areas of his expertise, rife with examples of comfortable, lush lounging spaces, elegant architectural details, and his celebrated mastery of color. A foreword by Jamie Drake spells it out: 'The peacock has historically been a symbol of renewal and immortality, and in ancient mythology its tail is seen as having the 'eyes' of the stars. I think of Corey, and his work, as this gorgeous bird in the best sense. Personally, he is imposing and serene, yet full of vivacity. Likewise, the spaces he designs are restful yet deliciously piquant, always with a daring touch of boldness (or quite a few) added assuredly into his schemes.'" - ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST.COM
"Something borrowed, something new: ELLE Decor A-List designer Corey Damen Jenkins weds time-honored and contemporary styles in Design Remix: A New Spin on Traditional Rooms." -ELLEDECOR.COM
"Acclaimed for projects in Michigan and New England, the classically minded Detroit-based designer has found success by doing things his own way." -1STDIBS.COM
"Corey Damen Jenkins is nothing short of an inspiration. If you've ever come across his work, you've undoubtedly been struck by the vibrant colors and joyful lines that have become his signature. You have probably also encountered the inspiring story of his career, which rose like a phoenix from the ashes after the crash of 2008. What you might not know, though, is how that love of color and eye for design got started. In his just-published debut book, Corey shares the story of his upbringing and how influential the city of Detroit is to his style. The book also does something very few other design books do: teach." -ONEKINGSLANE.COM
