To magazine editor and stylist Benjamin Reynaert, more is more when it comes to the home. The more patterns and colors combined, the more preloved pieces, the more surfaces to display treasured objects, the more a house will feel like home. Layers are key to achieving this maximalist alchemy. It’s a look developed over time, with intention, as you stay mindful of your space’s personality. Layering a home requires listening to and respecting your own instincts and taste. 

Benjamin takes the reader through amazing homes lived in by creative and curious people. From the United Kingdom and Paris to Delaware, Mississippi, and California, the interiors artfully integrate patterns, colors, textures, art, furniture, and objects to create rooms as unique as the individuals who live in them. More than 200 photographs capture striking maximalist homes, and Benjamin’s conversations with his favorite tastemakers reveal tips on collecting, arranging, and modifying rooms over time. 

Brimming with beauty and smart advice, "The Layered Home" shares how to curate interiors filled with warmth and visual interest by embracing abundance, imperfection, and craft.
