Interior Design Author Releases Fifth Book

By Lindsay Field Penticuff

You won’t want to miss out on these 100 incredible spaces!

And who better to tell a story about great design than Carl Dellatore, interior design author and close friend of Designer Society of America? He released his fifth book earlier this month, and we can’t wait to share some insight into the new piece with our members!

Dellatore’s “100 Rooms: Lessons from the Finest Designers on the Art of Home” by Rizzoli New York features 100 individual designers’ remarkable spaces, which are broken down by type of room—Gathering, Transitional, Respite, Entertaining and Utility.

He spent nearly two years on the newest release, working closely with his team at Rizzoli New York to pare down a list of between 1,200-1,500 rooms to 100.

“I wanted to represent as many aesthetic visions as possible—minimalist, maximalist, traditionalist, contemporary—because that’s the landscape of design,” Dellatore says.

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Dellatore recently to learn more about his new book, including the intricate process of narrowing down his selections to just 100 designers’ spaces, and what’s next for him. Psst: He’s already working on his sixth book, and his seventh book won’t be far behind.
