About This Book

Bestselling author Sikes, now the “standard bearer of great American design” ( Architectural Digest ), returns with a new book of fresh yet classic American decorating. AD100 and Elle Decor A-List designer and tastemaker Sikes believes there’s beauty everywhere: all we have to do is look for it. His classic, livable looks are beloved by celebrities and notables from Reese Witherspoon to Dr.

Jill Biden, who hired him to redesign her White House office. In this third book of the Beautiful trilogy, Sikes celebrates a full year of beautiful interiors inspired by nature. Colors, patterns, and textures, including his favorite blue and white, chinoiserie, rattan, gingham, stripes, and more, came from the world outside these rooms.

In twelve chapters, he shares inspiration and advice from homes he has designed across America and abroad. There is a house for every month of the year, inspired by the seasons, from April’s leafy green Gardens of Versailles–inspired French Chateau-style home outside of Chicago to crisp navy in East Hampton for June, August’s homage to the pink sands in Bermuda, and holiday reds for December’s Swiss-style chalet on a sweeping horse ranch near Sun Valley, Idaho. Throughout, each house features Sikes’s signature touches, inspirational quotes, and tradition updated for today.

With all-new light-filled photography by Amy Neunsinger, Forever Beautiful reminds new and returning readers alike of the power of making it beautiful.

This book features some lovely interiors by Mark D Sykes. Another reviewer called the designs basic, but I would have to disagree. I feel like a more apt one word summation would be tranquil. I especially like the designer’s use of wallpaper and the colors blue and green.

I got Mark’s new book this morning, and I love it! The previous review called it “basic” (seriously?!?!?), but I would call it “accessible.” Everything is gorgeous but more understated than previous books, so you could do many of these designs in a normal house without your neighbors thinking you had lost your mind, lol! And I think I already spotted at least one pic of Reese Witherspoon’s house (just dreamy). Thank you for another beautiful book, Mark! I haven’t read the words yet, but I’m sure they’re great too. Some of my fav pics are attached, but there are SO MANY MORE!

Mark Sikes is my favorite designer of all time. This book, like his previous books, tells the story of timeless accessible design. Less blue a white, and more daring colors. Totally classic. There are some really innovative ideas here, like the way they designed a runner for an unusual staircase. So many lovely details. I’m reading slowly to make it last.

pretty basic designs

Half the book is really boring and looks like a home goods ad or something. There are a few interesting pages and I like how the book is laid out with each season representated. But it's overall just "eh" to me. It also feels kind of dated but not in a good way.

Fabulous, Beautiful Book

Mark D. Sykes has done it again! This book is absolutely gorgeous and inspiring. I love the organization by month. The different locations, the attention to the smallest details which make all the difference in an overall look. The photos are stunning. If you love an interesting mix of color, antiques and contemporary pieces and design styles blended to create a classic look, this book is for you! Love it!
