Interior designer Alexa Hampton will offer decorating advice and discuss her latest book Friday during a lecture and luncheon that complements the American Red Cross Designers Show House fundraiser.

The luncheon at Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa in Manalapan marks the return of the luncheon program to the show houses annual schedule of events. The luncheon has the same title as Hamptons latest book Decorating in Detail.

The show house opens Thursday for a month of tours at a historic house known informally as the Birthday Cake Castle overlooking the Lake Worth Lagoon in Lake Worth. Hampton is serving as honorary chairwoman of the project.

In a related event this week, the Red Cross will host a by-advance-ticket-only preview party Wednesday evening at the show house, where more than a dozen design professionals have decorated rooms.

Hamptons name appears regularly on Architectural Digests AD100 and House Beautifuls Top Designer list as well Elle Dcors A-list.

She is a featured designer at the Mark Hampton LLC design firm and also serves on the boards of trustees for the New York School of Interior Design, the New York Landmarks Conservancy and the Institute for Classical Architecture.

Tickets to the luncheon are $75 and include admission to the show house. Advance registration is required.
