Jan is the author of “Glamorous Rooms” published by Harry Abrams. The book is a compilation of Jan’s work over the past 25 years and is in its sixth printing.
“Glamorous Rooms” showcases the elegant eclecticism of Jan ‘s interiors, including many projects unpublished until now. Her work never ceases to strike a perfect balance between totally captivating and perfectly inviting. Michael Kors, who wrote the foreword for this book, explains it: “Design like Jan’s fuses great taste and an expert eye with the reality of life as it is actually lived. That’s why people are always so astonished at her glamorous touch —because it’s built into designs that are functional and comfortable and fun.”
In October 2013, Jan’s second book, “Glamorous Retreats” showcases Jan’s most luxurious interiors locales across North America and the Caribbean.
With more than two hundred gorgeous photographs,”Glamorous Retreats” makes bold yet sophisticated designs come to life by highlighting stunning accents, creative themes, and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces.
In early 2000, Showers decided to make custom pieces she had been designing for her clients.
“The Jan Showers Collection” is available through showrooms in Dallas, Dania, Houston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York and Atlanta.
Jan possesses a rare fusion of sophistication and warmth, poise and a good sense of humor. When asked why she’s so good at what she does, her reply is always that she truly loves her work.
Be inspired by Jan Showers and Associates!
