Tom Scheerer More Decorating

Wednesday, November 13, 2019


Tom Scheerer More Decorating is a companion piece of sorts to 2013's Tom Scheerer Decorates, expanding upon his signature style defined by seasoned sophistication. The 16 client commissions featured span the design spectrum - city, country and coastal - paired with Scheerer's personal reflections on the design process implemented for each project. Regardless of locale, Scheerer's rooms take root in a number of design fundamentals, including a mix of fine & fresh furnishings, art & accessories and play on color palette & pattern, creating spaces that are at once elegant and effortless. This nearly 300 page hardcover is a masterclass, providing inspiration beyond the design trends and offering greater insight into the art of timeless decorating. Tom Scheerer More Decorating is a must add to your design library.

The book's cover photo (and 2 interior photos included) are from a Park Avenue apartment that Scheerer first decorated 23 years ago. Interested in a design refresh, the homeowner once again turned to Scheerer for his expertise in retaining classic elements while adding contemporary touches - discover more below.


*Read my previous Tom Scheerer post and ATLANTA readers take note, Mr. Scheerer will be at Bungalow Classic Thursday NOV 14th, 4-6pm, for a book signing.

**I have Vendome Press to thank for extending me a copy to preview.


Above: "The bold upholstery of the settee was inspired by Pauline Potter, the American wife of Baron Philippe de Rothschild. The dining table base is a mirrored cube that makes the top appear to float. The lacquered Panton chairs remain from the initial 1996 decoration. The Italian chandelier has been electrified to sparkle from within, yet retains a ring of beeswax candles for lighting at night." p.115


Below: "A RĂ©gence chair, upholstered twenty-three years ago, still presides in the room. The nine-foot bookcases were fashioned from black-lacquered dowels, mahogany shelves, and brass 'lamp parts.' They are firmly held together by steel tension rods." p.116
