Bold colour, reflective lacquered furniture and mid-century inspired style define the work of New York City interior designer Amy Lau. Her first book, Expressive Modern (The Monacelli Press), features 13 of her residential interior projects, from glass-walled city apartments to beachy Hamptons cottages. Here, view ten of our favourite rooms, which offer ideas for dramatic wall treatments, framing views and layering character into a space.
