The Joy of Home

More about the book

Interior designer Ashley Gilbreath’s first book reveals the breadth of her casually elegant style. Whether it’s in town, at the beach, or in the mountains, each home exhibits thoughtful planning and attention to detail in harmony with the client’s vision. Bringing family together is the reason Gilbreath designs. “Home is a place for people to embrace their families and celebrate life’s joys,” she says. Some of her signature design strategies include mixing old and new pieces and incorporating favorite custom treatments, including banquettes for dining and dressmaker details on chairs. Every space is influenced by Gilbreath’s passion for gracious everyday living. Her focus is directed toward functionality, comfort, beauty, and creating a welcoming spirit grounded in tradition. She has designed homes from New York to Florida.
