Interior Design Today: The New Rules

Join House Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Stephen Drucker and celebrated designers Jamie Drake and Celerie Kemble as they discuss the fast-changing world of interior design, and how they see people decorating now.

Stephen Drucker
Editor-in-Chief, House Beautiful Magazine
Stephen Drucker has spent his career as an editor and writer in the style world. He has held positions of editor in chief/executive vice president at Martha Stewart Living and editor of The New York Times Home section. At the end of 2005 he took over as editor in chief of House Beautiful. His total redesign of the 113-year-old publication launched an exciting new era for America’s oldest decorating magazine.

Jamie Drake
Designer
The man behind some of the country’s most dynamic, distinctive, and livable interiors knows how to create delightful environments and craft décor that is as right for a particular place as it is for the person or family occupying it. Equally comfortable in traditional and contemporary styles, he has a natural gift for making modern interiors inviting, and enlivening traditional spaces with a fresh mix of contemporary elements. Drake’s device of choice is color – used boldly, fearlessly, and with great flair. Says, Drake, “there is little that doesn’t inspire me.”

Celerie Kemble
Designer
For 12 years Celerie has been working as a much publicized residential and commercial interior designer based out of New York City. She has also created a to-the-trade fabric collection with F. Schumacher, a faux leather and technical surfaces collection with Valtekz, a recycled and recyclable commercial fabric line called FRESH for Valley Forge Textiles, and a furniture collection with Laneventure.
