Episode 338: Markham Roberts

Million Dollar Decorating

Born in Indianapolis, Markham Roberts graduated from Brown University and moved to New York to work with the late Mark Hampton, before opening his eponymous firm in 1997. Called “a master of timeless American style” by Vogue, Markham has earned the reputation as one of the top decorators of his generation. He and his work have been featured in Architectural Digest, Domino, Elle Decor, House Beautiful, House & Garden, Southern Accents, Town & Country, Veranda, and The New York Times. Markham has been named to the AD100, Architectural Digest’s prestigious list of the top 100 interior designers and architects in the world, since 2014. Known for his creativity and ability to work in a wide variety of styles, Markham adeptly interprets his clients’ needs and wants in a seamless way that reflects their style and not merely his own imprint. Markham’s widely praised monograph, Decorating: The Way I See It, published by The Vendome Press, showcases his refreshing approach to decorating. In the words of Senga Mortimer, the noted editor, “There is a distinct refinement that runs through all of his work and is, indeed, emblematic of his personality … Markham, with his unflinching ease, his assured eye, his natural understanding of how a house should function, and his total lack of pretense, creates rooms that are timeless.” Markham Roberts lectures on decorating across the country. He sits on the board of the Cain Foundation, a philanthropic trust established by his late grandparents to support the arts, education, and to assist those in need.
