The Interiors Stack
This curated set of five rare, vintage interiors books is for the collector who knows that design is cyclical — and the best ideas always trace back to their origins. These volumes are the blueprint for so much of what inspires today’s design world, from loft living to department store fantasy rooms.
What’s inside:
International Book of Lofts, Suzanne Slesin
The cult classic that made open-plan living a global obsession. Every page is an archive of industrial spaces reborn as homes, studios, and galleries. The book that taught us how to live in raw, expansive space before “loft living” was a cliché.Decorating: A Realistic Guide, Mary Gilliatt
An unapologetically practical yet stylish guide that speaks to the nuts and bolts of creating a home. Gilliatt was known for bringing design into everyday life — a reminder that interiors are meant to be lived in, not staged.The New York Times Book of Interior Design and Decoration, Norma Skurka
Drawn from the pages of The New York Times, this is a sweeping survey of design’s evolution through the 20th century. Essential for anyone who wants to see how interiors moved with the times — and why certain aesthetics endure.Bloomingdale’s Book of Home Decorating, Barbara D’Arcy
An interiors addict’s holy grail. D’Arcy was Bloomingdale’s legendary decorator, known for her wild, theatrical showroom rooms that defined the department store as a design destination. This book is both campy and genius — a record of maximalism at its peak.Living in One Room, Jon Naar & Molly Siple
For the space-conscious modernist: clever layouts, multi-use furniture, and creative approaches to tiny living long before #smallspace trended. Proof that design innovation thrives under constraint.
