Bestselling author Sikes, now the “standard bearer of great American design” (Architectural Digest), returns with a new book of fresh yet classic American decorating.

AD100 and Elle Decor A-List designer and tastemaker Sikes believes there’s beauty everywhere: all we have to do is look for it. His classic, livable looks are beloved by celebrities and notables from Reese Witherspoon to Dr. Jill Biden, who hired him to redesign her White House office.

In this third book of the Beautiful trilogy, Sikes celebrates a full year of beautiful interiors inspired by nature. Colors, patterns, and textures, including his favorite blue and white, chinoiserie, rattan, gingham, stripes, and more, came from the world outside these rooms. In twelve chapters, he shares inspiration and advice from homes he has designed across America and abroad. There is a house for every month of the year, inspired by the seasons, from April’s leafy green Gardens of Versailles–inspired French Chateau-style home outside of Chicago to crisp navy in East Hampton for June, August’s homage to the pink sands in Bermuda, and holiday reds for December’s Swiss-style chalet on a sweeping horse ranch near Sun Valley, Idaho.

Throughout, each house features Sikes’s signature touches, inspirational quotes, and tradition updated for today. With all-new light-filled photography by Amy Neunsinger, Forever Beautiful reminds new and returning readers alike of the power of making it beautiful.

Industry Reviews

"From Beautiful, to More Beautiful, and now Forever Beautiful, Mark D. Sikes, who most recently refreshed the historic Blair House in Washington, D.C., takes readers inside 12 different projects, ranging from homes in Florida; Long Island, New York; and Vail, Colorado. The work follows the pages of the calendar, each project stands in for a different month of the year and the beauty that comes with the seasons’ changes." — Elle Decor

"Just before the publication of our November issue’s Blair House feature, Mark D. Sikes rounded out his Beautiful trilogy with the release of Forever Beautiful. This title celebrates a full year of the AD100 talent’s interiors—organized into 12 chapters, with one home as the focus each month. The ultimate goal? Celebrating the natural world’s beauty. “Nature is the ideal muse,” Sikes declares in the book’s introduction, and his position is clear through projects like a sleek, modernist retreat in Aspen inspired by the icy geometry of its surrounding mountains. This dexterity is among one of the many trailblazing qualities Sikes possesses as a new face of American design." — Architectural Digest

"Mark Sikes' Beautiful books are always in my stacks, and they usually make it to the top because of their smaller scale and pretty covers." — Kaitlin Smith, Kaitlin Smith Interiors (Veranda)
