The Art of Home cover

Sara Story's The Art of Home blends global influences and artistic passion, showcasing unique designs in diverse homes across the United States.

In The Art of Home, designer Sara Story presents her debut work, showcasing a distinctive blend of global bohemian influences and artistic passion. With a focus on creating spaces that are both clean and striking, she expertly balances style and adventure in her designs. Having spent her formative years in Japan, Singapore, and the United States, Story brings a unique perspective to her projects, drawing inspiration from her extensive travels and love for art and fashion.

Her approach to design marries bold contemporary art with antique pieces sourced from around the world, resulting in unique homes that reflect her clients’ personalities as well as her own. The book features a curated selection of homes from diverse locations such as Austin, Texas; Boulder, Colorado; and Beverly Hills, California. Each space is a testament to her ability to create polished environments that are both elegant and comfortable, showcasing her modern yet bohemian aesthetic.

The Art of Home also highlights Sara Story's personal residences, including her contemporary ranch in Texas, a Gramercy Park townhouse, and a historic home on the Hudson River. Each of these homes is designed with a distinct character, yet they all share a common thread of layered collections and a touch of whimsy. With essays on themes like Adventure, Curiosity, Discovery, and Beauty, alongside new photography and unpublished projects, this book is a must-have for enthusiasts of unexpected interiors.

"AD PRO Directory designer Sara Story imbues each of her projects—whether it’s her own Gramercy Park townhouse or a ranch in the Austin Hills—with a global perspective. (Little wonder, as Story was raised in Japan, Singapore, and Texas.) Her artful, bohemian ethos is captured in this book through such vignettes as a terrazzo-topped dining table surrounded by Gio Ponti chairs and a den decked out with a 1970s-style wall graphic composed of swoops and chain-link motifs." ~ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST
