In an industry where few interior designers are known by their names, Kelly Wearstler is a superstar. Renowned for her distinct and innovative approach to interior design and architecture, the US-based designer gained fame for her bold and maximalist style, characterised by a flair for mixing different textures, patterns, and periods in a sophisticated and unexpected way.

Her opulent interior designs grace grand homes and luxury hotels worldwide, spanning Beverly Hills to the Caribbean. Indeed, it would not be hyperbolic to say that her distinctive style has revolutionised contemporary American design, earning her prestigious accolades such as a place on Architectural Digest’s Top 100 Architecture and Interior Design list, inclusion in Elle Decor’s A-List, recognition in Wallpaper’s Top 20 Designers, and membership in Time Style & Design’s esteemed Style & Design 100 group of global creatives.

Aside from her interior design work, Wearstler has also expanded her brand into various other creative ventures, including fashion, furniture design, and lifestyle products. The first interior designer to teach a Masterclass, she has been featured in numerous publications and television shows, and is the author of several design books.

As Wearstler celebrates the launch of her sixth book, Synchronicity by Rizzoli, Tatler speaks to her about her fearless and boundary-pushing design aesthetic.
