The Romance of Home : Houses by Mohon Interiors

The chic, soulful, livable spaces of Texas-based interior designer Marcus Mohon exert a universal appeal with their air of timeless serenity.

This debut volume presents several extraordinary homes, ranging from a stone-clad villa in Austin to a casual seaside retreat to an art-filled family compound, each of which gracefully balances high style with easygoing comfort. Mohon draws on the heritage of the Mediterranean world to fashion living environments that transport their occupants to an enchanted realm far removed from day-to-day concerns. Intimate foyers beckon from behind carved wooden doors, dining rooms boast dramatically embellished chandeliers suspended above sleekly simple tables, and sitting rooms entice with luxurious blends of color, texture, and furnishings both modern and antique.

Included are many of Mohon’s exquisite watercolor sketches, which are integral to his design process. Their poetic sensibility infuses every room, translating them into spaces that exude romance. Mohon also shares a wealth of design ideas that resonate with today’s personally expressive sensibility. Sophisticated and full of patina, these interiors are sure to delight and inspire.
