Artful Home: Josh Young The Savage Style: Jonathan Savage S e r e n e a n d m o d e r n classicism" is Josh Young's stock in trade. In his first book, Artful Home (Rizzoli), he breaks down his overall creative approach and reveals how it can be deployed to make spaces stand the test of time. A lifetime creator born into a family of athletes, Young moved on from checking out books on Braque and Monet at the local library to studying in Milan, where he refined his artistic point of view and appreciation for complex patinas. For Young, "all roads begin with establishing the palette" (he prefers neutrals), then one should add texture, form, layers, and — perhaps most importantly — nostalgia. Collecting is an art form for Young, and he highlights the treasures displayed at his D.C. townhouse and never-before-seen country "For me, fashion, art, and design go hand in hand." —Jonathan Savage home (a 1780 Federal- style farmhouse the designer refreshed in Virginia's Hunt Country). Because these projects are so personal to him, the reader gets an unfiltered look at what Young deems his dream home — all the better for distilling his dreamy principles. Young is also a fine artist, and Artful Home showcases his works alongside the antiques he adores.

T he house-proud attitude of the South is an undeniable influence o n N a s h v i l l e - b a s e d J o n a t h a n S a v a g e . Southerners tend to know how to make a house welcoming, comfortable, and beautiful; the designer took to his first volume, The Savage Style (Gibbs Smith), as to the manor born. The book initially delves into his thoughts about what makes a successful living, dining, family room, kitchen, or bedroom (among other spaces), and graphic elements, Parisian treasures, and color abound. By embracing the classical principles of design — balance, harmony, form, proportion, scale, repetition, and contrast — Savage can break a few rules along the way. The second half of the book explores some of the designer's favorite projects, including his own Palm Beach apartment and Nashville house, a minimalist London home, and an ornate Music City estate JOSH YOUNG ZEKE RUELAS
