Design book feels like home

Feels Like Home: Relaxed Interiors for a Meaningful Life is a design book that delves into the emotional connection between home and life itself. It is the third book by designer Lauren Liess, and it offers a sensitive, human, and conscious approach to design – one that starts with feeling, not with a trend.

The book starts from a simple yet profound premise: home is an emotion. Through original, previously unpublished case studies, Lauren Liess presents different types of homes – a rural farmhouse, a home in the heart of the forest, a Spanish colonial style home, and other classic homes – and examines how design principles such as proportion, scale, and color affect not only the appearance, but also the daily feeling of those who live in them.

The chapters are structured around emotional themes such as comfort, tranquility, belonging, freedom, love, and satisfaction, inviting the reader to think beyond the objects themselves – towards authentic, calm, and meaningful lives. This is a book that provides deep design inspiration, alongside personal text and magnificent photographs, and also becomes a beautiful object in itself.

Suitable for thought-provoking reading, for inspiration in design processes, as a coffee table item, or as a gift for design lovers who seek a connection between aesthetics and emotion.
