Legendary hostess and style icon Aerin Lauder shares ideas for how to bring flowers into our home entertaining and décor, imbuing both special occasions and the everyday with beauty and joy.

Aerin Lauder’s love of flowers is deeply personal, being passed down to her by her celebrated grandmother, Estée Lauder, as well as her trendsetting mother, Jo Carol. From fresh bouquets to floral patterns on wallpaper, fabric, and china, in Living with Flowers Lauder shares the many ways she brings flowers into her home. Whether it’s a bunch of daisies in the kitchen to welcome friends or family for dinner, or a cheerful bud on her desk to brighten the workday, flowers are an essential part of her decor.

With creative ideas for designing arrangements—from embracing the simple elegance of white or rejoicing in a riotous mix of color, to incorporating seasonal blooms into your holiday decor—Lauder generously shares her tips and secrets.

Lauder also takes readers through her homes, showing how she brings the garden indoors through her decor. Elegant floral wallpaper in the dining room feels chic and timeless, floral drapes in the bedroom are traditional and luxurious, while her contemporary floral-patterned china brings a modern and minimal floral to her entertaining.

Reflecting her unique blend of beauty and ease, Lauder’s floral designs and decor offer endlessly inspiring ideas for how readers can integrate flowers into their own homes to create welcoming and personal spaces.
