Book Review: Katie Ridder Rooms

Katie Ridder’s award-winning interior design work and impeccable sense of style has attracted clients from around the globe. Her attention to lavish detail, use of rich color and mix of periods and styles distinguishes her work from the others. I most love that Katie’s interiors are sophisticated, yet approachable. This feeling is perhaps a result of both of her California upbringing and being a mother of three.

As you can imagine, I loved her design book, "Katie Ridder Rooms" published by Vendome and released last fall. It’s 235 pages are full of beautiful large-scale photographs of Katie’s design projects {many not found on the Internet}. From foyers to dining rooms, kitchens to bedrooms – a large variety of her work is represented. In addition to rich narrative accompanying the photos, Katie provides us with decorating advice and a complete source guide!

The final chapter and my favorite, focuses in on the attention of detail that elevates Katie’s interior designs. This section touches on the design details in lighting, upholstery, embroidery, tile and wallpaper which Katie incorporates to create her exquisite, signature looks.
