The first book from renowned Hollywood-based interior designer Madeline Stuart, whose elegant decorating is predicated on timeless design, be it modernist or traditional in inspiration.

Stuart is hailed as an icon in Los Angeles for her exceptional work. Architectural Digest wrote, "In a city driven by artifice and spectacle, Madeline Stuart celebrates understatement, authenticity, and elegance without affectation." The daughter of director Mel Stuart (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory) and a decorator mother whose interiors were favored by actors and entertainers, Stuart grew up as a Hollywood insider. Today, her wide-ranging clientele comes from the entertainment industry as well as the world of business and finance.

In No Place Like Home, Stuart herself writes eloquently about her recent work. With insight and wit, she walks the reader through her design process, from initial vision to execution. From her meticulous renovation of Cedric Gibbons's Streamline Moderne house to a newly built Montana ranch to a Mediterranean-inspired residence on the California coast, each project is informed by Stuart's keen understanding of history and craftsmanship as well as her skill with scale, proportion, and balance. These, along with her unexpected combinations of furniture and fine-art and decorative elements, result in richly layered interiors that feel authentic to their period and place, while remaining always relevant, modern, and beautiful.

Reviews

"In her first book, No Place Like Home (Rizzoli, $55) Hollywood-based Madeline Stuart, an A-list interior designer, invites readers inside her meticulously layered projects, which are informed by history and craftsmanship. Stuart herself writes eloquently about her design process, walking readers through recent projects that successfully combine grace, scale, proportion and balance." ATLANTA HOMES & LIFESTYLES

In a world where Pinterest scavengers masquerade as professional decorators, Madelines insistence on the old-school virtues of design artistry and craft is all the more refreshing.  Mayer Rus, Architectural Digest

"Madeline Stuart is a true child of Hollywood. If theres any doubt, look no further than the title of the interior designers new monograph No Place Like Home: Interiors by Madeline Stuart which echoes the universal sentiment voiced by Dorothy in that ultimate musical fantasy, The Wizard of Oz, from Tinseltowns golden age. Stuart is a longtime go-to for an extensive list of starry and high-net clients in Los Angeles and beyond, most of whom prefer not to be singled out.  Among them are boldface names, such as former Fox TV Group co-head Gary Newman and his wife, entertainment attorney Jeanne Newman; Curb Your Enthusiasms Larry David; producer John Goldwyn and hotelier Jeff Klein; and producer Lisa Henson. (Past patrons include Jason Alexander, Stacey Snider, Lindsey Buckingham and the late Nora Ephron.)" Hollywood Reporter

"Madeline Stuart creates interiors the defy categorization, unless breathtakingly beautiful can be considered a category. In her debut monograph, No Place Like Home, eight magnificent residences, ranging from a landmarked Streamline Moderne house with an old Hollywood pedigree, to a newly built modernist lodge in Big Sky County are presented in rapturous detail." Incollect

Much like the character in her father's most famous film, the Los Angeles designer relishes the art of surprising and delighting. 1st Dibs

Madeline Stuart is an AD 100 interior and architectural designer and creator of the Madeline StuartCollection, a line of custom designed furniture. Madeline Stuart is a leading member of the Los Angeles design community whose wide-ranging clientele comes from the entertainment industry and the world of business and finance. Equally at ease designing a 1920 s Hollywood hacienda, a Fifth Avenue Manhattan apartment or a Rocky Mountain retreat, Stuart stresses, above all else, the fundamental marriage of integrity and beauty. Her projects reflect a collaborative relationship between architecture and furniture, function and form, client and designer. She grew up in Beverly Hills, the daughter of a producer/director father and decorator mother whose work was favored by film stars. Her father directed Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (in which Madeline had a cameo) and credited her with its creation: My father made Willy Wonka because I begged him to do it. I had one line. Since 1994, Madeline Stuart has restored and remodeled houses designed by architectural icons such as Gerard Colcord, Cedric Gibbons, Sylvanus Marston, and Paul Williams. In 1998 she launched her own furniture lighting, and accessories line, available at showrooms across the country. Her work has been featured in numerous publications.
