" If there's one thing to be learned from Timothy Corrigan, it's
how to exercise class without ever feeling staid. Corrigan is
uptown, East Egg, wear-a-tie-to-work-on-Friday. With each of the
rooms in his new book, thought, the AD100 designer shows how to
modernize the classics. For anyone looking to sharpen a
contemporary edge onto a traditional-styled project, the first step
should be taking a page out of Corrigan's book - literally."

"Elegance is the perfect word to describe the interiors designed by

diverse houses illustrate Corrigan’s design esthetic in this
informative, glossy book. What makes the book especially
fascinating are the “interludes” in which he details the steps to
successful decoration; these illustrated examples are wonderful
templates for anyone looking to update a room or
house. Corrigan is very generous with his knowledge,
which can be unusual in the design world." —CA Homes
"Is there anything designer Timothy Corrigan can’t
do? Corrigan's the highly anticipated follow-up, to his first
book, "The New Elegance: Stylish, Comfortable Rooms for Today"
(Rizzoli), features a diverse array of projects including a
prominent philanthropist’s 36th-floor apartment in Chicago, a Doha
palace presided over by the Qatari royal family, and even the
designer’s own sumptuous Paris pied-à-terre.
Corrigan’s masterful ability to create spaces that appear
effortlessly chic is on full display throughout. 'I wanted to
illustrate the concept that elegant can be comfortable,' he tells
Galerie. 'Just because a room is beautiful doesn’t mean it can’t
also be livable and practical.'
Organized by project, the tome features 11 chapters each punctuated
by approachable explanations of Corrigan’s core design principles,
which he says can be adapted to suit anyone’s style. 'The goal was
to make it accessible for the reader, so that they could go through
a chapter and then learn about the central elements they may not
have noticed.'"—Galerie
"It's one of the hardest things for an interior design to
accomplish: create rooms that are accessible, comfortable, and
livable. That is a dynamic that Timothy Corrigan has accomplished
repeatedly. The book reveals his ongoing ability to combine a
European sensibility with an American penchant for comfort and
ease. Apart from being able to indulge in his interior designs,
this book also offers practical advice to the reader about how best
to establish scale, proportion, and symmetry in our own interiors."

AD100 list of interior designers on multiple occasions not just
because he’s a well-known name, but also because he’s incredible at
what he does. In his latest book, The New Elegance, Corrigan tips
