Sabrina Soto Home Design: A Layer-by-Layer Approach to Turning Your Ideas into the Home of Your Dreams [Paperback]

Sabrina Soto's simple, step-by-step process for creating the home of your dreams

You want your home to look the way it does in your imagination—beautiful colors, stylish furniture, attractive lighting, and ample storage for all of your stuff. Whether you can see bits and pieces of it in your mind, or you are just inspired by a color or a texture and aren't sure how to turn it into an effective design, the thing that stands between most people and the home design they dream of is the lack of a simple, effective decorating process. If you have the ideas but are hungry for the "how," Sabrina Soto can help you realize your design visions one step at a time.

In this book, Sabrina shares with you her process of design, beginning with a cold, hard look at the space—an honest evaluation of who lives there, how you want to use the room, and your personal tastes and preferences. Once you've identified your design goals, she shows you how to tackle each "layer," such as color or furnishings. Following along with the chapters, you'll build a cohesive home design layer by layer.

Packed with useful and time-tested tips and shortcuts like those Sabrina features on her TV shows and website, as well as visual guides to different styles of furniture, fixtures, and other design elements, the book also shows you how to save money, time, and effort—without sacrificing style.

There's no time like the present, and no method like layering, to unleash your creativity and create a stunning home.

From the Introduction:

"You are creative. Even if you don't think so, you are. The reality is, we all have an imagination. It's where our best ideas are born. Being creative is just a matter of finding the right inspiration and an easy method to help you organize and develop your ideas. That's why I wrote this book—I wanted to give you the tools you need to create your ideal home design."
—Sabrina Soto

In Sabrina Soto Home Design, the popular TV personality and designer gives you access to the foolproof interior design process she calls "layering"—an easy-to-follow method for creating a design made of decorative elements layered one on top of the other. First, she shows you how to understand your space and plan your design, then she guides you through choosing colors, selecting surface treatments, integrating storage to organize your space, editing your furniture, picking colors, illuminating your design, and, finally, adding accents.

With Sabrina Soto Home Design, you'll create the living space of your dreams—layer by layer and room by room.
