Edith-Anne Duncan, a Blacksburg interior designer, has published her first book, “Southern Sensibility.”
The book will be released Oct. 14 and is available through Barnes & Noble and Amazon. A signed copy may be pre-ordered through her website: edithanneduncan.com
The interiors featured in Southern Sensibility are meant to offer a balance between family time, cherished moments, and everyday modern life. Duncan says her philosophy is that a home should welcome guests and family with open arms, where nothing is too precious, but everything is thoughtfully beautiful.
There is a unique way of living in the South, a more gracious style with a modern twist. Sophisticated, casual interiors with pops of color have always been Duncan’s design aesthetic, as well as a respect for heritage and history. Growing up as a child in the South, Duncan’s family home was filled with inherited furnishings mixed with modern touches of chinoiserie and unexpected moments, like a white leather bench with emerald-green piping.
Duncan is the owner of Edith-Anne Duncan Design, based in Blacksburg.
