Named a Best New Interior Design Book of 2023 by the Hollywood Reporter and a Top Five Interior Design Book to Read this Fall by Women’s Wear Daily!
“[Romanek’s] sense of dynamic inspiration is on display in her first monograph, Liveable Luxe.”
—Vanity Fair
“In Romanek’s debut monograph, the designer offers an inside look at projects that embody her unique blend of the high-end and the accessible, including her own home in Laurel Canyon. Fans of Gwyneth Paltrow’s breezy California style will be happy to see a section dedicated to the Goop founder’s Montecito home and a forward penned by the star.”
?—CULTURED
“Livable Luxe presents a collection of Romanek’s distinctive residential interiors, highlighting luxurious yet casual homes and commercial projects in places ranging from Los Angeles to New York. Brigette’s essays and anecdotes share her intuitive and open approach to design throughout the book. Her aesthetic blend of both the high-end and the accessible, or as she calls it, ‘Gucci meets Gap,’ is a refreshing approach and fully apparent in the spaces she crafts. Extensively featured in the book are the homes of her well-known clients, including Paltrow and Molly Baz, who admire and seek her design expertise in creating spaces that evoke a laid-back-yet-elegant feel.”
—Essence
“Brigette’s debut book, Livable Luxe, outlines how to achieve this balance while unpacking the processes of her most breathtaking projects. The tome features priceless behind-the-scenes details about Brigette Romanek’s work and weaves them in with anecdotes about her life and the events that led to developing her signature eclectic style.”
—Architectural Digest
“She takes the best-made stuff and makes it feel like you can actually live in it.”
—Esquire
“With more than 150 lavish images from Romanek’s portfolio, details about her upbringing, and design tips, the book is a fantastic look into how the highly sought-after designer uses her ‘Gucci meets Gap’ philosophy to ensure each house she designs has style, comfort, and a sense of home.”
—Shondaland
?“Brigette Romanek’s flair for livably luxe interiors has quickly made her a star among Hollywood’s elite…where [her] book especially sings is in its wonderfully chatty, playful tone. Among the chapter headings are ‘Don’t Get Too Excited’ and ‘Where My Girls At?’ And many sentences sound as if Romanek were talking out loud. ‘I covered the . . . sofas in a celadon mohair. Ahhhh, so pretty,’ she writes about decorating a 1920s Los Angeles home. There’s also an endearing touch of self-deprecation. ‘I’m no art critic, not an authority in any way. I simply know what I like and respond to. And honestly, that’s all you have to know.’”
