"Casual Luxury is the cure for all design dilemmas. My six principles will work in your home regardless of its size, your personal style, and in any room. Casual Luxury has no boundaries."

In his first book in the Life on Mar’s series he shared his wonderful gardens and how they are cleverly designed to provide interest in all four seasons. Jennings now invites us all inside his Westport, Connecticut, home to explore his six design principles for creating a Casual Luxury home. This deluxe oversized coffee table book is filled with photographic essays by the renowned photographer Stacy Bass; they highlight his philosophy, while simple ‘sMARt tips’ make his resourceful ideas practical and applicable for any home or any space.

As outlined in this new book, Mar Jennings’ signature style of Casual Luxury is revealed in detail; for the first time he shares how it can be broken down into six design principles that anyone can apply. “Casual Luxury should be affordable to all and I’m delighted to offer my encyclopedia of professional ideas to apply in anyone’s home. It’s like an entire season of a home makeover show, in one book." This lifestyle expert does it with simplicity and style, balancing natural solutions with everyday elegance, as he guides the reading on a tour of every room in his house—and through the outdoor living spaces, too. Thanks to the clever worksheets that let the reader decode their own design dilemmas, the book takes the mystery out of home decorating and transforms it into an affordable DIY project.
