[Dodi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Big beautiful interior design books are one of my guilty pleasures. Relaxed Elegance is a pleasure to read and gaze upon. I appreciate that Brittany Bromley relates her design process in the text that accompanies the pleasing photography. I'm sure I could never afford her services, so it's helpful to learn from her in these pages. Although I enjoyed looking at and reading about these projects, I was struck repeatedly by the scope and cost. (Bromley doesn't disclose the cost, but it's obvious.) I think the textiles or wallpaper from a couple of the rooms probably cost more than my house. There is a mistake on page 229--the text begins in the middle of a sentence without a beginning to the sentence. I wondered if a page had been left out. Bromley thoughtfully includes an extensive resource list at the end of the book.

Brittany Bromley's work is classic and stunning. I enjoyed how she took us through each home featured in her book (including her own!) and gave the details behind many of the design decisions. She also included some paint/wallpaper/finishings brand names (and colors). Her own dining room is the stuff of dreams... and I really really want those owl prints from Casa Gusto!
