Mikel Welch: The Forever Home, Gebunden

Blurb

A LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • This stunning, easy-to-follow design book shows homeowners and renters how to maximize their budget and create a space that is functional, timeless, and uniquely their own---from the co-host of Netflix's Hack My Home and in-house design expert on The Drew Barrymore Show.

We often hear the term "forever home" and think of an imaginary place we want to live in for the rest of our lives, where we've splurged on fantastical details to pass down through generations. However, a forever home can be any space, whether a house or an apartment, where you put down roots, make lasting memories, and feel completely at ease.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by what color to paint your walls or which wall coverings to buy, Mikel Welch takes the stress out of decorating, walking you through approachable design principles to help you create a home you can love for as long as you want. At every step, realistic budgeting is front of mind as Mikel shows when it makes sense to splurge and how else you can save through the art of illusion (AKA making things look expensive without spending a lot of money!).

With forewords by Drew Barrymore and Shea McGee of Studio McGee--as well as photographs of stunning spaces and graphics to illustrate design concepts--The Forever Home walks you through how to make informed decisions on decorating details. You'll learn Mikel's point of view on determining the proper rug size for a room, developing a cohesive color palette, shopping for pieces that will last a lifetime, and more. Whether you're a first-time homeowner, a short stay dweller, or have already found your forever home, this book is your one-stop resource for classic, timeless design.
