Aerin Lauder: Living with Flowers

Legendary hostess and style icon Aerin Lauder shares ideas for how to bring flowers into our home, entertaining and décor, inspiring both special occasions and the everyday moments 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 mother, Jo Carole Lauder. From fresh bouquets to floral patterns on wallpaper, fabric, and tabletop pieces, in Living with Flowers Lauder shares the many ways she brings flowers into her home. Whether it’s an arrangement of daisies in the kitchen to welcome friends or family for dinner, or a single stem on her desk to brighten the workday, flowers are an essential part of her home and her lifestyle.

With creative ideas for designing arrangements—from embracing the simple elegance of a neutral palette or incorporating a whimsical mix of color, to enhancing your holiday décor with seasonal blooms—Lauder generously shares her favorite 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 sophisticated and timeless, floral drapes in the bedroom are traditional and luxurious, while her contemporary floral-patterned tabletop collections add effortless, yet modern florals 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 inviting and personal spaces.
