Summary:

In Timeless Design author Bo Niles explores the concept of timelessness through the creative visions of the finest international interior designers and architects. Here we see homes that shun period style in favor of an eclectic look that straddles and transcends trends: a traditional Mexico City hacienda takes on contemporary form with a geometric spiral staircase; a Palladian-inspired summer home is imbued with New England charm; stately rooms are converted into comfortable gathering places. As the pages in this beautifully illustrated book reveal, timeless furnishings are exquisitely proportioned, cabinetry meticulously crafted, and structural elements distilled to their very essence. Regardless of style, timeless designs wear well. They uphold a standard that will endure into the future.
