Interior decorator Keith Irvine steamed into New York Harbor in 1957 and immediately embarked on designing the unique, inspired interiors that have ensured him a place at the pinnacle of his field. His designs are characterized by feelingwit, grandeur, comfort, dramaas well as by exquisite use of color, pattern, lighting, furniture, and accessories. Born in Scotland and trained in his profession in Londonnotably by the decorating legend John FowlerIrving combines oldworld wisdom and newworld enthusiasm in his mostly traditional rooms and houses. The first book on his work, Keith Irvine: A Life in Decorationwritten by Irvine and his wife, noted design writer Chippy Irvineis at once illustrated autobiography, collection of work, and elucidation of design philosophy. Irvin is known worldwide as an originator of the English country house looka look not inherited, the decorator points out, but invented in the twentieth century. His characteristic playeddown grandeur includes signature touches such as authoritative use of antiques of all eras, exquisite painted effects, rare scenic wallpaper, faded old carpets (his favorites are those that 'look as though they might be in their last week'), spirited English and French chintzes, and loads of busts and books ('one can never have too many!'). Included in the book are more than twentyfive projectsincluding homes for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Katherine Graham, Rex and Mercia Harrison, and Joan Kennedyillustrated with exceptional color photographs drawn from Irvine's own archive. Irvine also presents his most personal projectsthose designed for his own family.
