The luxe homes designed by one of Bravo TV’s Million Dollar Decorators Jeffrey Alan Marks demonstrate his breezy, tailored look. Jeffrey Alan Marks Inc. (JAM) specializes in residential and commercial interior design and architecture. Inspired by his Southern California outdoor lifestyle, Marks’s trademark look is a synthesis of a fresh informality infused with sophisticated English and European accents. His joyous, comfortable spaces are known for their playful charm, vivid colors, and patterns. He contrasts natural materials, such as weathered driftwood, with sleek finishes. This book showcases a series of beautifully photographed residences revealing Marks’s skill at capturing each client’s personality, from a movie star’s London townhouse full of eccentric furnishings to a charming Nantucket cottage with nautical embellishments. A striking surfside vibe energizes his Santa Monica Canyon beach house, where he hung a rowboat from the whitewashed bedroom ceiling. Marks explains how he made each project’s room a sanctuary where all details are synchronized. Through collective imagery and intriguing collages, he demonstrates his creative process. Marks’s favorite shopping addresses for fabrics, furniture, and antiques complete this inspiring volume.
Industry Reviews
"One of the Best Design Books of Fall 2013" -Elle Decor

"He manages to create enveloping interiors that are both easy and effortless... readers will delight in a closer look at his signature Southern California meets regal European interiors. I find myself truly impressed not just with his range (which is vast), but his master of mixing periods and styles. Jeffrey's homes never look decorated or designed. They read as authentic expressions- unique expressions- of the homeowners' lives and loves...Impressive to say the least. I have gone through the book several times with wide-eyed wonder and appreciation. You must add this to your design library." -Life in a Venti Cup

"...creative, fun, beautiful, and (perhaps most important) relaxed and livable aesthetic. I could live in practically any of the spaces he has designed, and love every minute of it." -Katedid Blog

"Mr. Marks is not a predictable designer nor does he impose a signature look. I would describe him as interpretive in the sense that he translates the needs and tastes of his clients to shape the look of their homes." -Attic Magazine

"Jeffrey Alan Marks' Meaning of Home is at the top of my list...filled with stunning images of recent projects and personal anecdotes on just exactly what it means to be home." -La Dolce Vita

"The book strikes the perfect balance of top design and comfort..." -The Simply Luxurious Life

This book has some of the most beautiful photography of interiors that I have ever seen. Jeffrey penned the text himself, and it is well written. You hear his voice as we have come to know it, and he shares details. details, details." -The Visual Vamp
