At an early age, Alexa Hampton learned the language of good
design, the vocabulary to speak it, and the elements that define
it. As the daughter of interior design legend Mark Hampton, she
traveled the world by her father’s side, touring the great
architectural landmarks and discovering beauty, training her
eye.
Now one of America’s most influential designers herself, Alexa
Hampton provides a tour of stunning residences from her own
portfolio.
Eighteen classic spaces illustrate in rich detail the elements that
govern cultivated design—contrast, proportion, color, and balance.
Among the residences are a landmark 1912 McKim, Mead White
restoration on Fifth Avenue in New York City; an eclectic house by
the sea layered in textures, patterns, and colors; a contemporary
apartment distinguished by simple geometry and clean lines; and
Hampton’s own apartment, filled with an exquisite collection of
architectural elements.
Hampton also explains how she tailored each space to meet her
clients’ needs while retaining a timeless aesthetic, and she
provides design expertise on everything from fabric schemes to the
particulars of paint. From a French neoclassical tour de force of
architec-ture, artwork, and design to a Queen Anne summer cottage
furnished to showcase the house’s graceful nineteenth-century
dimensions, the spaces here speak the language of design—a language
that, under Hampton’s tutelage, anyone can master.
