Event Update: DDB Book Signing rescheduled for Monday at 10:00 a.m.

Selecting favorite rooms from more than 50 renowned designers such as Kelly Wearstler, Bunny Williams, Albert Hadley, Nate Berkus, and Mary McDonald—and shot by the world’s top shelter photographers—Susanna Salk offers insightful advice on how to apply basic design principles to interiors in her new book Be Your Own Decorator: Taking Inspiration and Cues from Today's Top Designers. Afterwards, Susanna will be co-hosting the panel discussion "Designing Outside the Box" where the panelists will talk about maximizing their brands, whether publishing books or launching product lines or venturing into television, and how they continue to grow their businesses.



Organized into chapters on balance, color, mixing, accessorizing, arrangements, rule breaking, and whimsy, Salk walks through the process of great design, illustrating how the featured designers made the decisions they did to make these rooms look so great.



The book’s encouraging, conversational tone, practical tips and ideas, and quotes by the designers themselves explaining their philosophies empower the reader to create stylish, functional, and unique rooms of their very own.



Covering a range of styles from traditional to modern, formal to whimsical, and showcasing some of the best work by the best designers of our age, Be Your Own Decorator is a rich resource for the aspiring decorator.



Don't miss the book signing tomorrow June 19 at 10:00 a.m. or the panel discussion at 11:00 a.m. at Donghia Suite 700 at the DDB.
