Book Description

September 1, 2009
Glamorous Rooms showcases the elegant eclecticism of renowned designer Jan Showers's interiors, including many projects unpublished until now.
 
Illustrated with dazzling photography, Showers's accessible and useful design tenets will inspire readers to create their own luxurious yet relaxed homes. Showers's attention to detail seamlessly blends Hollywood high style, midcentury modernism, and classic 18th-century French styles with the local flavors of St. Barth's, Paris, and Rome. Her modern and timeless interiors, never overdone, have earned her a dedicated fan base of top designers, celebrities, and power brokers from Palm Beach to Del Mar. A must-have addition to any design enthusiast's library, Glamorous Rooms is sure to be an instant classic.
 
Traditional Home October 2009
Lucite and tufting and mirrors, oh my!  Love shimmering elegance?  You'll thrill to the work of Jan Showers, a Texas pro.

Veranda November-December 2009
Texas-based designer Jan Showers strikes just the right balance between restraint and high visual impact. Her superbly detailed rooms gain unique presence through a mix of styles, such as Hollywood Regency, eighteenth-century French and mid-century modern. Like her spaces, her furnishings-including her 1940’s-inspired Venetian glass lamps-exude American glamour.

House Beautiful November 2009
Jan Showers tells all, Dallas style. The how/why of glamour, one gorgeous room @ a time. Read the captions!

Luxe Fall 2009
Over 200 dazzling photographs of Showers’ design, which seamlessly blend Hollywood high style, mid-century modernism and classic 18th century French style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic, October 15, 2009
By 
Danielle (Dallas, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glamorous Rooms (Hardcover)
This book is beautifully done. She knows how to mix textures using fabrics and furniture from any time period, and she definitely has an eye for color and value. I love how she uses color throughout the book...each time the hues are perfect(the platinum/gray living is one of my favorites..so chic!). The rooms are glamorous and smart while being accessible. I will definitely use this as inspiration for my own home.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glamorous from cover to cover, October 15, 2009
By 
This review is from: Glamorous Rooms (Hardcover)
After devouring all 206 pages of design ideas and beautiful photography I can safely say that Glamorous Rooms will be a forerunner in my design library that I am starting to build. The book is divided into 6 "rooms" covering entry halls, living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, private spaces, and outdoor living. Jan Showers shares her portfolio of timeless interior spaces as well as ideas on how to achieve a touch of glamour in your own home. And these ideas are cleverly drawn from her 25 years of experience designing rooms of understated elegance. Several pages of my copy are already bookmarked -- whether they are rooms that I am inspired by or ideas that I wish to reference later and perhaps try in my own home. Until then Glamorous Rooms will be beautifully displayed on my coffee table as even the cloth cover, where Showers pays homage to Hinson & Co.'s Snow Leopard fabric, is glamorous.

5.0 out of 5 stars The ultra glam gift that keeps on giving!, June 23, 2010
This review is from: Glamorous Rooms (Hardcover)
Wow! I received this as a gift and what a great gift it has been! My whole house looks "better" just by having this on my coffee table. Not only is it full of beautiful photographs and wonderful tips, but it's also conversational and easy to read. And the foreword written by Michael Kors was such an added bonus... What a fun glimpse into his and Ms. Showers' friendship! My mother has since borrowed my copy and doesn't want to give it back! Needless to say, I will be passing it on... and buying her a copy of her own!
