Explore the emotional connection that a home can have to a person’s life with Feels Like Home from Lauren Liess, the TV and social media star and author of Habitat and Down to Earth.

A house is a feeling. That is the conceit behind designer Lauren Liess’s third book, which explores the emotional connection between the way we decorate our homes and our daily lives.

She advises readers to think beyond just the objects in their homes and explore how design informs an intentional, happy, and authentic life.

The book includes practical design information, with never-before-seen case studies on a variety of homes including a farmhouse, a home in the woods, a Spanish colonial, and other more traditional homes. Each case study explores a hardworking design aspect (such as proportion, scale, and color), while also focusing on the emotional aspect of the home.

With chapters inspired by the themes of comfort, calm, excitement, belonging, carefree, love, and contentment, Feels Like Home provides inspiration while also serving as a beautiful object itself.
