Suzanne Kasler: Inspired Interiors
By Suzanne Kasler with Christine Pittel
Designers find inspiration in many things, from grand structures and fine art to the pleat of a dress or a bowl of forsythia. All of these things have, at one time or 
another, inspired acclaimed interior designer Suzanne Kasler’s style. But when it comes time to orchestrate a room, the principal inspiration for Kasler comes from the people who inhabit it.
With over 200 pages of strikingly beautiful full-color photos, Kasler, with House Beautiful senior editor Christine Pittel, strings together a narrative expressing the work and aesthetic of interiors that Kasler has created for herself and clients.
Inspired Interiors is divided into four sections. In the first, “At Home,” Kasler invites readers into her own home and discusses coming to know what she was naturally attracted to, encouraging her clients to express their personalities in their design selections. She takes it a step further in “Principles,” where she offers advice on important tenets of design, like editing. “Elements,” breaks down different facets to consider, from architectural factors to furnishings, color, and light.
Lastly, there is “A Sense of Place,” the fourth and final section, where Kasler imparts that no matter where the home, “each person has his own experience of a place, and his own idea of how he wants to live. A house…can be formal or informal, neutral or colorful, full to the brim with furniture or remarkably spare.”
