Overview

In her much-anticipated second book, Victoria Hagan features an exquisite selection of new interiors that embody the 'soft modern' look that distinguishes her work.  A major force in the design community, Hagan is the master of juxtaposing old and new, showing luxury through simplicity, and creating homes that reflect their owners’ lives. In these appealing, timeless projects – including a New York penthouse, a Nantucket beach house, and a Western ranch – formal architecture is loosened up with a generosity of spirit and an appreciation for the whimsies of style. Throughout, Hagan discourses on the spirit of the unexpected detail – a vintage mirror or a unique chair – that adds soul and modernity. After twenty-five years of running a successful business, she shares her philosophy on attaining good taste and expressing an attitude through her work. Victoria Hagan: Dream Spaces is a beautiful and inspiring collection of this design superstar’s work and a must for every interior design library.
