An Elle Decor Top Design Coffee Table Book of Fall 2025
An Architectural Digest Best Design Book of Fall 2025
An interior-design book by renowned interior designer Penny Drue Baird that features 12 distinctive
residential projects across the United States, with a focus on full-page
images and in-depth designer insights.
PowerHouse: Interior Designs for Self, Style, and Sanctuary invites
readers into a collection of distinctive homes across the United
States, each an expression of its owner's spirit and style. Known for
her "couture" approach to interiors, Baird combines her expertise in
design with her background in psychology to create homes that are equal
parts refuge, celebration, and sanctuary.
This stunning volume showcases sumptuous contemporary and traditional
homes, from apartments in New York City and Hamptons beach retreats and
mountain getaways, West Coast deserts, and more. In each project, Baird's design process brings
together a unique trifecta: the location, the look and feel, and the
individual personality of the client. By blending these three elements,
Baird tailors every home to the specific needs and desires of its owner,
resulting in a space that enhances their sense of well-being, beauty,
and personal expression.
Key Features:
Personal sanctuaries: Each project showcases Baird's talent for translating individual client needs into uniquely expressive spaces.
Sumptuous full-bleed images: Lavish photography
immerses readers in the elegance of each design, capturing the beauty
and atmosphere of the homes in stunning detail.
Design and the psychological underpinning of home:
Baird's background in psychology informs her understanding of how
atmosphere affects well-being, and she discusses her in-depth thought
processes surrounding each project.
Trend-free style: Timeless materials and thoughtful details ensure these designs transcend fleeting trends.
Behind-the-scenes insights: Baird shares her experience of sourcing furnishings from diverse markets, antique dealers, galleries, and auctions.
Distinctive locations: Projects span New York
City; the Hamptons; La Quinta, CA; Montecito, CA; Vail, CO;
Williamstown, MA; Cresskill, NJ; and Atherton, CA.
Each chapter in PowerHouse offers insight into how
environment and atmosphere foster emotional well-being, strength, and
joy, creating spaces where anyone can feel truly at home.
