Interiors shaped by color, pattern, and craft

Kit Kemp: Design Stories presents interior design as an interplay of materials, objects, and personal detail. Its examples bring together vivid color and layered patterns with art, antiques, bespoke furnishings, and handcrafted elements, including hand-painted wallpapers and embroidered headboards. The book’s emphasis on individuality and a sense of place frames rooms as expressions of the people and choices behind them. Photography supports this visual account of Kemp’s approach, making the volume as much about combinations of texture and craft as about furnishings and decoration.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People interested in expressive interior decorating and furnishings
  • Readers who enjoy exploring color, pattern, antiques, and handcrafted details
  • Design enthusiasts interested in how interiors can reflect individuality and place

Book overview

Known for her distinctive design style that effortlessly combines vibrant colours and eclectic patterns, Kemp has become a global icon in the world of interior design.

With her unapologetic use of color, exquisite layering of pattern, and an eye for the unexpected, Kemp has revolutionized contemporary interior design. In her first Rizzoli book, she invites readers into her imaginative world, revealing how she transforms interiors into richly woven stories of texture, craft, and individuality.

Kemp's spaces are more than just rooms--they are experiences, each one a vibrant tapestry of art, antiques, and bespoke details that surprise and delight. Her signature aesthetic is a masterful blend of craft and sophistication, where embroidered headboards meet hand-painted wallpapers, where ikat-covered cushions blend with twentieth-century art, and where every corner holds a moment of magic.

Brimming with stunning photography and boundless inspiration, this essential volume is more than a design book--it is an invitation to break free from the ordinary and create interiors that reflect personality, passion, and a true sense of place. Whether drawn to playful pattern, soulful craftsmanship, or the art of storytelling through interiors, this book will inspire readers to make every space as individual as those who inhabit them.
