Glam it up: Rhapsody Preview Part II

Still life of four graphic Kelly Wearstler dinnerware settings.

Kelly Wearstler fans: If you have yet to pick up a copy of Rhapsody, here are a few more pics to tide you over. The varying styles demonstrate that although Kelly has a distinct aesthetic, she’s able to uniquely apply it based on the needs of each project. Rhapsody walks you through this creative process in Kelly’s own words.

Soulful periwinkle bar sparkles with its many metal details and citron chairs.

Be open to unusual color combinations and to strong, confident hues. Never allow rules about color usage to restrict your self-expression. – Kelly Wearstler, Rhapsody

Artful hand–painted wall covering in a guest bedroom.

Newly commissioned Sheila Hicks wall tapestry grounds a tranquil sitting room.

Book–matched onyx coexists with a variety of graphic marbles in this serenely timeless lady’s grand bathroom.

The shape of something, and the way your eye and your spirit reacts to it, is as important to the soul of a room as the color on its walls. Whether it’s the lovely soft curve of a female nude, the sharp, graphic edges of an art deco chair, or the geometric pattern on a marble floor, our visual senses are constantly observing and absorbing the ebb and flow, the sometimes subtle, sometimes strident interplays of our tactile environment. – Kelly Wearstler, Rhapsody
