<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Lauren Liess, an interior designer and founder of the popular blog <i>Pure Style Home</i>, fuses her love of design and the great outdoors into all her work. In <i>Habitat: The Field Guide to Decorating</i>, her first book, Lauren invites readers to bring nature inside by mixing the textures of natural elements such as wood and stone with eclectic groupings of modern and quirky vintage pieces. Readers will be inspired by the unique style of these rooms, which include lovely framed botanical prints and Liess's own textile patterns inspired by wildflowers and weeds. The book is divided into three sections: Part I focuses on the fundamental elements of design, with each chapter devoted to a particular element, such as color, lighting, and furniture; Part II addresses the intangibles of designing a space, such as aesthetics and creating a mood; and Part III tackles unique room-specific challenges in every part of the house.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>"</b>If you're a nature lover, this book by interior designer and <i>Pure Style Home</i> blogger Lauren Liess may be a fall read to add to your list. <i>Habitat </i>looks at incorporating natural textures such as wood into your decorating scheme, along with florals, nature inspired textiles and vintage décor."-- "Real Style Network"<br><br>"In her first book, famed DC-based interior designer and blogger of <i>Pure Style Home</i> brings readers back to the basics by breaking down room essentials (color, texture, lighting) and incorporating natural components into the home (cue backyard greenery). Stunningly simple, this field guide is a survival book for any budding decorator."-- "USA Today"<br><br>"In her new book <i>Habitat: The Field Guide to Decorating</i>, designer Lauren Liess shares her favorite, not-always-conventional ideas for livening up any space with art."-- "Country Living"<br><br>"Lauren Liess's <i>Habitat</i> has tons of tips, advice and sources. . . . Simple vignettes throughout inspire me to simplify and add more vintage and antique items to my house. This will be one I reference for a long time!"-- "Elements of Style"<br><br>"Liess proves an ability to mix natural elements composed of stone and wood with decidedly modern and vintage items (some of which can be rather eccentric). Figuring into many of the interiors we see in the book are some of Liess's textile patterns, the sources for which often originate with wildflowers and other foliage. Liess is as methodical in her design work as she is in the organization of the book."-- "MILIEU magazine"<br><br>"Liess's design approach is family and pet friendly, with an earthy neutral palette and an eclectic touch. Design is always personal, but no matter your design style, <i>Habitat</i> is a comprehensive guide to her step-by-step design process and decision making."-- "Portobello Design blog"<br><br>"Rich with thoughtful advice on how to create livable, comfortable rooms that bring the beauty of the outdoors inside."-- "Garden & Gun"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Lauren Liess</b> is a decorator, textile designer, and founder of the popular design blog <i>Pure Style Home</i>.
