About the Book
The highly anticipated second book from esteemed, Atlanta-based interior designer Webb, known for her ethereal, lushly textured interiors, is a study in organic elegance. Inspired by her previous experience as an art dealer, Webb designs beautifully composed spaces. She believes in the power of light, and shadow, in creating atmosphere; a pale, luminous wallcovering may be balanced by the presence of antiques, or a chapel-like white bedroom may segue into a deep gray sitting room. As important is a sense of hand: the feeling of glazed earthenware, a worn oak farm table, the softness of fine linen. Webb is also motivated by the pursuit of joy and the power of beauty—she makes sure these are rooms for living, for gathering with family, for refuge. Accompanied by guiding inspirations from art, landscape, history, and travel throughout, Webb shares fourteen serene residences, from her own home in Brays Island, South Carolina, with its pavilions of wood, stone, and glass nestled under a canopy of ancient oak, to a gabled, storybook Arts-and-Crafts inspired Kiawah Island residence on the edge of the Atlantic. A celebration of home as sanctuary, Webb’s new book instructs and inspires readers to embrace the beauty that is all around us.

Founder of Atlanta-based Beth Webb Interiors, Beth’s body of work spans from North to Central America and is known for its sophisticated and inviting appeal.

This concept has fed her journey since childhood, which was marked by a rich education in art history and the liberal arts that ultimately led to her Master’s degree from Sotheby’s in London.

She’s able to coalesce decorative elements that span cultures, continents, and centuries fascinatingly and seamlessly. Beth’s work has been featured in top-tier magazines, including Veranda, House Beautiful, Traditional Home, Elle Decor, Milieu, and Luxe. As an admired veteran of the design industry, Beth is a board member of the Design Leadership Network. A tome devoted to her work, An Eye for Beauty, was published by Rizzoli in 2017 and her signature furniture and accessories collection with Arteriors was launched in 2020.
