The single biggest problem I confront with my clients, friends and family is “style paralysis.” They are just stuck and because of that, they don’t do ANYTHING for fear that what they will do will waste money, time or generally be embarrassing and lose them friends. I wrote and produced this book for all of those people. It starts by helping you find out what your style is (through a style diagnostic). Are you mid-century meets ’70s? Contemporary with a traditional bent? Once you are diagnosed, you learn exactly what that means and what you should be buying. Next comes my 10 steps to styling your home: Where do you start? How do you shop with confidence? And where the hell do you put everything so it looks good together?
“Styled” takes you through, room by room, vignette by vignette, sofa by sofa to show you how to style each piece so your whole space looks intentional, designed and, most importantly, like you. We all want that effortlessly designed space, right? The room that just looks perfectly thrown together—casual and inviting yet cohesive and beautiful. Well, that’s what we do as stylists. It’s less about the perfectly matching high-end sofa set and more about infusing your room with personality without it looking like a thrift store. It’s honestly not as hard as it sounds…if you buy this book and let it help you.
