DESIGNING HOLLYWOOD HOMES

Setting the scene is as important in a home as in filmmaking, a skill that Stephen Shadley, decorator to the stars, has perfected. His expertise in visual storytelling, honed by work at 20th Century Fox, has stood him in good stead, making him a hot-property designer for such names as Diane Keaton and Jennifer Aniston. Contrary to what you might expect his style is understated and refined with a soupçon of glamour, as exemplified in the featured projects. Stephen Shadley, Rizzoli, $130
