Description
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The trendsetting designer known for her effortless style shares the secrets of the art of layering, with more than 250 gorgeous photographs of her signature interiors. “Livability is my true north. The materials I use time and again all change with age and wear. Not only is that okay, it’s how you achieve more than a re-creation of what you’ve already seen, or what somebody else has done. You can do this, too—I promise.”—from the introduction Designing a room with all the vibes comes down to how you layer your décor. The more you can mix the elements of your room—your pillows, objects, patterns, and lighting—the more finished it’ll feel: not too new, not too old, but just right. Known for her eclectic approach that stems from her California cool, Amber Lewis trains your eye in Made for Living, offering friendly advice on everything from nailing that perfect shade of paint to mismatching patterns with wild abandon to choosing a stone finish for new countertops. These pages will help you design a home that's made to be lived in.

Well Done!
I had a real hard time deciding if I liked this book or not, not like cause this is simple living more like the likes of Scanadavian style of interiors , of course I would have loved to see more of a WOW factor and a lot more colors because how much of white can you possibly take but in spite of all that I like this book enough to give it five stars all the way because the way Amber does interiors, its a lot harder to do than you can possible imagine because it is an easy thing to go all wild with colors and put stuff every where but her style of doing interiors is through refrain and that grew on me as I gave the book time! So I would say job well done! Buy this if you like pretty interiors with amazing pillows!!

Gorgeous book to inspire home design
If you love interior design inspo that feels warm, layered, and effortless, this book is a real treat! Gorgeous photographs and easy to use advice on how to mix textures, patterns, colors, and vintage finds to create spaces that feel inviting and stylish rather than staged. The visuals are absolutely gorgeous and relaxing to look at! It’s a fun little book for inspiration or just to flip through on your coffee table. That said, if you’re looking for a step‑by‑step instructional manual, it leans more toward inspiration and aesthetic guidance than technical design theory. Great for kindling ideas and helping you find your design eye!

Functional & Decorative
Great decorative book for a coffee table stack. The cover art and colors match my living room aesthetic perfectly. Not overly thick, but it adds just the right amount of height and interest. Happy with the purchase!
