The Echo Design Group Celebrates the Beauty of Time with Time at Home
(New York - October 2001) Inspired by the overwhelming success of Echo's first book, A Home for All Seasons, Echo has created a second book titled Time at Home. A gorgeous home design book of exquisite photos and text published by Abrams, Time at Home celebrates time - the times of day, the precious time we spend at home. This book is full of great ideas, showing innumerable ways to create comfortable, welcoming spaces that allow one's personal style and creativity to shine.
Conceived by husband and wife team Steven and Meg Roberts, principals of The Echo Design Group, the book offers creative inspiration for every room, from bedrooms and living rooms to home offices and playrooms. Time at Home opens with the pale light of dawn and takes the reader through dozens of carefully selected rooms and outdoor spaces, the places we inhabit and enjoy throughout the day, showing how they are enlivened by the effects of light, color, texture, pattern, and form. Organized by the times of day, this slice-of-life approach to home design - captured in 115 glorious color photographs made specially for this book - places an emphasis on how and when we use various rooms and spaces. The inviting interiors illustrate how to combine style and function with personal expression in the choice of color schemes, fabrics, furnishings, and accessories, and how to incorporate antiques and collectibles into your d'cor.
Steven Roberts is Co-President and Chief Marketing Officer at The Echo Design Group. After completing his undergraduate work at Trinity College, he received his M.B.A from New York University. Meg Lesser Roberts is the Senior Home Designer at Echo, where she is responsible for the company's home furnishings division.
