IBSN: 9780847872091

Multi-award-winning interior designer Greg Natale takes readers deeper into his intricate approach to layering—the art of curating and editing elements to create warm, welcoming interiors.

Presented in Natale’s engaging, personable style and accompanied by rich visuals, The Layered Interior celebrates the design elements that give a home character, such as vintage and contemporary furniture, lighting, artworks, ornaments, and accents thoughtfully combined with color and pattern. From the luxurious feel of a burgundy velvet chair to the dynamic impact of an Art Deco rug, and the transformative power of wallpaper, Natale’s work exemplifies the beauty of layering. Featured homes include a modern palazzo on Brisbane’s River with arches, red and gilt elements, and glorious patterned wallpaper; a Melbourne city mansion with sumptuous hues and dark, moody opulence; a Sydney Harbour penthouse blending soft pink tones and sculptural curves; and a Melbourne Toorak penthouse with a dazzling Dynasty vibe.

Through eight detailed projects, photographed by Anson Smart, The Layered Interior delves into Natale’s design process, from initial concept and inspirations to the application of finishes, furnishings, and accessories. This book is a captivating journey through the sophisticated interiors for which Greg Natale is renowned, filled with color, pattern, texture, and storytelling.
