Lauren Liess Livres

A practical and approachable decorating guide to bringing the outdoors into your home, through Lauren Liess's distinct and popular style

An elevated yet accessible follow-up to Lauren Liess's Habitat, showcasing her signature easy-living lifestyle Down to Earth picks up right where Lauren Liess's critically acclaimed Habitat left off. While Habitat walked readers through the decorating process step-by-step, Liess's latest title takes a step beyond the basics and invites readers to incorporate the main components of her familiar design aesthetic: nature, easy living, and approachability. With evocative photos and substantive design advice, Down to Earth focuses on creating a lifestyle that inspires creativity and functionality. Throughout the book, Liess shows readers how to incorporate six guiding principles in six unique homes: a new farmhouse, a classic American historical home, a lakeside contemporary house, a modern villa, a turn- of-the-century American Foursquare, and a cedar and glass house on a bluff. While each home has a different architectural style, fingerprints of Liess's down-to-earth style are evident throughout.

The third design book from the TV and social media star and author of Habitat and Down to Earth, Feels Like Home explores the emotional connection that a home can have to a person's life 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 beach cottage, 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. The chapters are inspired by the following themes: comfort, calm, excitement, belonging, carefree, love, and contentment.

Beach Life is the fourth design book from bestselling author Lauren Liess--costar of HGTV's Best House on the Block--exploring the beauty and culture of coastal living. In Beach Life, Lauren Liess picks up where Feels Like Home left off to explore the feelings associated with living that coastal life. Casual, soulful, thoughtful, nostalgic, inspiring, relaxing--Liess shows how you can bring these vibes into your home to experience a little beach getaway wherever you are. Full of interior design advice, radiant photography, memorable stories, lifestyle moments, seasonal recipes, and coastal culture, this book will give readers an escape into nature, sunshine, and sand. With case studies of five different homes, from a cottage in Martha's Vineyard to a dune house to a charming beach cabin, it's the perfect guide to creating your haven on the beach. It's an exploration and a savoring of the joy, tranquility, and peace we universally feel at the beach, urging you to wander, rethink, and recalibrate along the shore. Inspired by the mood and mindset of our beach selves, Beach Life urges us to not only live beautifully but give in to the demands of the ocean and live as freely as we live on vacation all the time!
