Ashley Whittaker s work is distinctively classic and sophisticated,
but also inviting and warm. Dubbed a neo-traditionalist, she
fearlessly marries adventurous colours and patterns in rooms yet
still manages to retain a sense of elegance and restraint. In The
Well-Loved House, she shares a selection of dwellings, from
gracious Connecticut estates to chic Manhattan pieds-a-terre to
waterfront beach houses on the Florida coast, most exclusively
photographed for this book, including her own house never before
seen. Whittaker believes houses are meant to be beautiful, but also
lived in and enjoyed, and she shares her knowledge and strategies
for achieving this interplay. Within each house, Whittaker offers
guidance on furniture plans, complementing the architecture of a
space, playing with colour, and mixing pattern. She explains why it
is important to have consistent threads throughout a home, but also
contrast and juxtaposition. The results are stunning: Bohemian
patterns mix with classic palettes; rich, saturated colour mingles
with highly polished finishes. Lacquered blue walls show off a
collection of blue-and-white porcelain. An inviting L-shaped sofa
and games table reinvent an unused library into a favourite space
for socialising. Whittaker s houses all share both a sense of drama
and a sense of comfort they are homes that welcome you at the end
of a long day, homes for living, homes to love.
