Event Details

Within weeks of its release, CLS is thrilled to host the former Home Editor of Vogue Magazine and Design Editor at Large of Elle Decor, Mieke ten Have, for the Charleston launch of her new and debut compendium: Interiors, Styled by Mieke ten Have. Reputed for decades in the shelter category as one of (or the) leading interiors stylists in the industry, Mieke will share a career’s worth of insights into her time-tested techniques, her lens on teasing out certain elements of a home that make it compelling, beautiful, and alive in photography, and a little of the magic that happens behind the scenes in the always beloved editorial landscape.

About the Book

In her beautiful new book, Mieke ten Have identifies and explains the four principal elements that she always takes into account: Color Theory, Pattern Play, Wild and Tame, and Flowers for Living. She illustrates each of these principles with images of rooms that she has styled for such noted designers as Stephen Sills, Mario Buatta, Alberto Pinto, Rita Konig, and Victoria Hagan in a wide variety of homes and locations. Then Mieke demonstrates how she applies these concepts, season after season, in her own country home, the Barn. Rich, atmospheric images by photographer Frank Frances document the evolution of the house, capturing the distinctive light, mood, colors, tonality, and textures of each season. Both aspirational and inspirational, Interiors Styled by Mieke ten Have provides countless design ideas for beautifying our surroundings throughout the year.
