Made for Living: Collected Interiors for All Sorts of Styles Hardcover – October 27, 2020

The media could not be loaded. This book is stunning — the cover alone elevates my dresser, and the interior design inspo inside is next-level. The photography is beautiful, and the stories behind each space make it more than just decor. Stylish, thoughtful, and totally worth it!

Beautiful book with nice images

I bought three design books recommended by Jenn of No Demo Reno (she is hilarious and does beautiful design work) … quickly skimmed all three and Made for Living caught my eye the most. Read it in its entirety in a day and a half as could not put it down! Can’t even really explain why, was just very interesting and felt like I was actually learning something that I could possibly use. I have a visceral connection with nature and try to always bring the outside “in” whenever possible. Amber Lewis also seems to have this connection so her design style was similar. Also, too many new things makes a house pretentious; adding the right vintage pieces (irregardless of price) helps to calm down the materialism, which she also does. Most of the other design books are very elitist and involve a lot of (European) name dropping and things that are, quite frankly, ugly. This book was not that way and highly recommend it. (Immediately also ordered her next book “Call It Home.)

I keep it on my coffee table not just for the looks — it’s one of those design books you actually want to flip through again and again.

Muy bueno

Needed something "adult" for my coffee table that says "look at me, I'm domesticated and responsible" instead of the Car & Driver magazine that used to reside there. My female friends have all convinced me that interior design is important for some reason and a bunch of those useless decorative books that women buy to decorate their tables and bookshelves but never touch is actually a huge green flag if they see them at a man's house. Don't ask me why, I thought putting my money towards investing in the stock market to accrue compound interest and be able to afford for nice things in the future was a bigger green flag but nooooooooo.4 out of 5 stars because I'm not married yet. Really hoping it would work sooner but it does look good (and admittedly, does have some nice interior design ideas).

Love it!

I was purely looking for a book to use as decor and paired it with the other one in the picture. It’s perfect. And I nice neutral color.
