Matthew Patrick Smyth
Matthew Patrick Smyth is an interior designer whose work evokes an enduring, traditional sense of style. He was consistently listed as a top designer on Elle Décor’s “A” List for 10 consecutive years. His work has also been featured in Architectural Digest, House Beautiful, Traditional Home, New York Magazine, WSJ, and Connecticut Cottage & Gardens. Matthew is also a recipient of the D&D Building’s Stars of Design Award.
Currently Matthew’s projects include residences in Palm Beach, Nantucket, Aspen, Geneva and Hampshire, England as well as homes in Litchfield and Fairfield Connecticut; the Hamptons; and city apartments in New York, London, and Paris.
Further personalizing his distinct blend of history with a modern study of scale, Matthew has broadened his work into product design with two rug collections for Patterson Flynn, and a collection of fabrics and wallcoverings introduced by F. Schumacher.
Matthew has participated in numerous designer showhouses, including five times for the prestigious Kips Bay Boys & Girls Club. Additionally, he reimagined the NY Mets Room at The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island and designed a celebratory room in honor of Traditional Home’s 25th and Schumacher’s 125th anniversary as a part of Holiday House NYC’s annual showhouse. As he wrote in his first book, Living Traditions: Interiors by Matthew Patrick Smyth from Monacelli Press, now in its second printing, “A single object can bring the entire room into focus and cause everything else to fall into place.” Likewise, the right designer can bring even the most challenging project into focus, imbuing the work with a harmonious feeling of balance.
“Through a Designer’s Eye” is Matthew’s most recent book for Monacelli Press
