KEN FULK: THE MOVIE IN MY MIND
There is a definite cinematic quality to designer Ken Fulk's work, whether it's the lushly decadent appointments of a restaurant in Florida, a luxurious hotel-esque apartment building in New York or multiple sumptuous private residences around the world. He freely admits his designs are heavily influenced by Hollywood, calling himself a "cinematographer of clients' lives" and describing projects as "movies". And, just like the cinema, this book transports and inspires readers to a realm of glamour and possibility. Ken Fulk, Assouline, $195
NOMAD AT HOME
As any designer will attest, travel provides the ultimate inspiration for ideas and concepts that can be transported back home. Here, the author, renowned New York stylist Hilary Robertson, explores the influence travel has on the home, delving into "nomad stories" of people in 10 destinations around the world who have relocated permanently, those constantly on the move and those whose homes brim with their exotic travel treasures. An insider's shopping guide to each location is a valuable bonus. Hilary Robertson, Ryland Peters & Small, $75
