In Pursuit of Beauty

Interior designer Timothy Whealon's style has universal appeal: as Elle Decor has stated "Timothy Whealon creates rooms that are right on the money: classic but cool, worldly but rooted in the comforts of home." In Pursuit of Beauty is his first book and captures the same audience as Victoria Hagan or Suzanne Kasler: those who want classicism alongside comfort, a mix of styles, and an artful blend of antiques and modern art. New York-based Timothy Whealon has compiled his top interiors in this beautiful, timeless design book. Ranging from elegant urban residences to casual weekend retreats, these houses reveal Whealon's appealing low-key approach to creating elegant interiors that are suited to today's more casual lifestyle.
