Wonderland: Adventures in Decorating

Interior decorator Summer Thornton believes in designing with the wildest abandon: her world is one of nickel tubs, marble fireplaces, whimsical textiles, surprising patterns, and secret gardens. Often described as maximalist with a modern, fresh sensibility, Thornton manages to achieve highly polished, sophisticated interiors that indulge in a lighthearted, almost irreverent sense of whimsy. In her first book, she will inspire readers to follow their creative impulses and make their own rules.

Let yourself be transported with the dreamy, fantastical homes arranged by theme in Wonderland. ‘Fearless Romantic’ features Thornton’s own gorgeous city house. ‘In Here Comes the Sun’, peek into an over-the-top tropical vacation home that’s centred on citrus. Look for her to misbehave a bit in ‘Good to be Bad’. If refinement is more your cup of tea, the polished settings in ‘The New Formal’ are fit for a queen. Plus take a deep dive into the most colourful technicolour homes she’s ever designed in ‘Super Saturated’.

With outstanding photography from A-list photographers including Thomas Loof, Bjorn Wallander, Annie Schlechter, and Melanie Acevedo, and styling by AD contributor Mieke ten Have, Wonderland is a celebration of personal expression and fearless escapism.
