Renowned interior designer Jan Showers returns to her signature world of glamour in The Glamorous House, her fourth book celebrating the beauty and drama of luxe interiors. In this richly photographed volume, Jan invites readers inside ten extraordinary private residences across the United States, each one a master class in high glamour, romance, and refined allure.
Jan’s celebrated aesthetic, a distinctive blend of timeless glamour, European sophistication, and relaxed American elegance, has long set her apart in the design world. Her interiors feel both curated and effortless, layered with the kinds of details that reveal themselves slowly over time. A designer’s designer, Jan delights in the creative process itself. For her, the joy of decorating lies in the discovery: exploring new combinations, juxtaposing unexpected elements, and seeing the magic that emerges when intuition leads the way.
In The Glamorous House, Jan’s vision unfolds across some of the country’s most desirable and storied locations. From the vibrant patterns and playful palette of her Crooked Creek project in Dallas to a serene Hawaiian retreat infused with tropical allure to a charming Palm Beach estate that radiates coastal sophistication, each residence captures a unique expression of her inimitable style. The book brims with never-before-seen photographs, offering an intimate look at the elegance, opulence, and understated confidence that define Jan Showers’s work.
Designer and tastemaker Mark D. Sikes captures her essence best: “Like her personality, Jan’s rooms are just as comfortable and inviting as they are eye-catching—highly glamorous, yet never unapproachable. In other words, beauty that lasts.”
