Beth Webb is an internationally recognized interior designer admired for her exquisite, light-filled residences. Her second book, Embracing Beauty: Serene Spaces for Living, features homes that span the US, from Sea Island, Georgia, to Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Webb calls on her previous experience as an art dealer to design 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 14 serene residences, from her own home in Brays Island, South Carolina, nestled under a canopy of ancient oak, to a gabled, storybook Arts and Crafts–inspired Kiawah Island residence.
A celebration of home as sanctuary, Webb’s new book instructs and inspires readers to embrace the beauty that is all around us.
