HOUSES FOR ALL SEASONS

Interior designer Gioia Bonomi takes us on an exclusive tour of six sensational private houses?in the city, in the mountains, and at the beach?each framed by a season of the year

To make a house a home requires an expert eye to guide every detail, large or small. In her first book, Houses for All Seasons, Gioia Bonomi’s choices of colors, lighting, décor, textures, and ephemera in the six private houses featured here, located in the United States, Europe, and the Bahamas, have all been carefully curated to create fabulous spaces. Experience the beauty of Northern Europe blooming in the springtime, the summer vibrance and rich palette of New York in the fall, and finally, winter escapes to the snowy Swiss Alps as well as to the sunny paradise of the Bahamian islands. Bonomi’s style merges a contemporary, graphic outlook among richer classical textures.

The houses?and lush gardens on America’s East Coast, designed by landscape architect Mario Nievera?have been photographed by Simon Upton, whose work is regularly featured in AD, World of Interiors, and Vogue, while a foreword by acclaimed designer Allegra Hicks sets Bonomi’s work in context. Throughout, Bonomi offers decorating tips and insights into her inspiration for each house. No matter the location or season, her style is timeless and eye-catching.
