Book Review- Down to Earth: Laid-back Interiors for Modern Living

September 4, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

“Down to Earth: Laid-back Interiors for Modern Living” by designer Lauren Liess offers a glimpse into the designer’s creative process and aesthetic philosophy. This book provides an in-depth look into six unique homes that embody the relaxed, unplugged, and natural way of living that the author cherishes. The homes range from a new farmhouse to a classic American historical home and more, and each case study focuses on the key elements of Lauren’s aesthetic.

Through beautiful photography and practical design advice, readers will learn how to incorporate six guiding principles into their own homes. The author wants to help readers create a home that is not just stylish but also full of soul and enduring beauty. She focuses on the use of humble materials and found objects and how to celebrate nature in the home.

Lauren also includes chapters that focus on Point of View, Timelessness, Something Old, Something New, Nature, and Simplicity. These chapters delve into the author’s approach to design and offer readers a roadmap for creating their own relaxed and functional living spaces.

Down to Earth is a book that inspires creativity and a carefree lifestyle. Whether you’re a fan of Lauren’s work or simply looking for design inspiration, this book is a must-read for anyone looking to create a warm and inviting home.
