Have you ever wondered how to capture the perfect seasonal vibe in your home year-round? Award-winning designer Sikes, now celebrated as the "standard bearer of great American design" by Architectural Digest, has created the ultimate guide to living beautifully through every month of the year.
In this third book of the beloved Beautiful trilogy, Sikes takes readers on a remarkable journey through twelve stunning homes, each designed to reflect the unique beauty of its corresponding month. Imagine April's leafy green Gardens of Versailles-inspired French Chateau-style home outside Chicago, or crisp navy accents in East Hampton for June. August brings a homage to Bermuda's pink sands, while December shines with holiday reds in a Swiss-style chalet on a Sun Valley horse ranch.
What makes this collection so special is how Sikes draws inspiration directly from the natural world. His signature touches—favorite blue and white combinations, chinoiserie details, rattan textures, gingham patterns, and classic stripes—all come from the world outside these rooms. Each chapter shares practical advice from Sikes' decades of experience designing homes across America and abroad, making these beautiful spaces accessible to readers everywhere.
Whether you're redesigning a single room or seeking inspiration for your entire home, Forever Beautiful offers something special. Sikes's philosophy celebrates the belief that "there's beauty everywhere—all we have to do is look for it." His classic, livable looks have earned him clients from Reese Witherspoon to Dr. Jill Biden (who hired him to redesign her White House office), proving that true style transcends trends.
With all-new light-filled photography by Amy Neunsinger, this book doesn't just show you beautiful spaces—it reminds you of the power and joy that comes from making your own home beautiful, no matter the season or your personal style.
