Book Review – Feels Like Home: Relaxed Interiors for a Meaningful Life

August 14, 2023 by Shellie Wilson

As a reader, I was immediately drawn to the premise of “Feels Like Home: Relaxed Interiors for a Meaningful Life” by Lauren Liess. The idea that a home can have such a deep emotional connection to a person’s life is both intriguing and relatable. I was excited to dive into this book and see how the designer approached this concept.

Lauren Liess’s writing style is warm and inviting, and it was clear that she has a passion for creating meaningful spaces. The book is beautifully designed with stunning photography that showcases the different case studies. Each case study offered a unique perspective on how design can evoke different emotions and create a sense of comfort and well-being in a home.

The practical design information was also incredibly helpful. Lauren breaks down different design elements such as proportion, scale, and color, and how they contribute to the overall feeling of a space. The themes she explored, such as comfort, calm, excitement, belonging, carefree, love, and contentment, are universal and relatable.

I would highly recommend “Feels Like Home” to anyone interested in interior design, especially those looking to create a space that has a deeper connection to their lives. Lauren’s approach is thoughtful and inspiring, and her book is a great resource for anyone looking to create a meaningful and beautiful home.
