TAKE TWO// INTERIOR INSPIRATION

EVERY ROOM SHOULD SING Beata Heuman Released earlier this year by publishing juggernaut Rizzoli, Beata Heuman’s hotly anticipated debut monograph is a joyous riot of imagination. Indeed, every room should sing, as does every page of this book. The Swedish-born, London-based interior designer showcases some of her most splendid projects throughout the 240 pages, from a Nantucket vacation home to her own townhouse. $55, rizzoliusa.com

ENCOUNTERING BEAUTY

Masterpiece London Art Fair is one of the not-to-be-missed events of the year. With attendees as well-dressed as the exhibitions, flowing champagne and a plethora of art, antiques, jewels and more to peruse, it was looking to be postponed due to pandemic restrictions. But, the show must go on, and on it goes indeed — evolving with the times, the online version means that you can see the best in show, attend virtual events and panels, and listen to fascinating podcasts in the comfort of your own home. The theme for 2021 is Encountering Beauty through the Material World , and 12 works of art (six pre-1900; six post-1900) have been selected by an all-star committee of collectors, dealers, historians, designers and curators. The criteria? To be an outstanding, rare and exceptional (or even undiscovered) piece that shows an interpretation of either stone, wood, pigment, bronze, ceramic or precious stone. Masterpiece 2022 runs June 30 – July 6; Preview Day on June 29, masterpiecefair.com

A ROOM OF HER OWN: INSIDE THE HOMES AND LIVES OF CREATIVE WOMEN Robyn Lea Go on a through-the-keyhole, around-the-world tour of the homes of accomplished writers, chefs, painters and directors. Described as “part biography, part interior design study,” this book’s pages are a dazzling journey from an Austrian castle to a New York City apartment, and have been expertly captured by Robyn Lea, a highly creative woman herself — she is a best-selling author and a lauded photographer. $65, thamesandhudson.com
