Discovering the Essence of Easy Living

In Down to Earth: Laid-back Interiors for Modern Living, Lauren Liess, star of HGTV’s Best House on the Block, unveils the secrets to creating a home filled with warmth, energy, and a natural aesthetic. As a renowned designer, Liess walks you through her decorating process step-by-step, emphasizing nature, easy living, and approachability.

Embrace Humble Materials and Found Objects

Lauren Liess encourages readers to celebrate humble materials and found objects. Her philosophy revolves around creating a space that is both stylish and soulful, with an emphasis on sustainability and authenticity. Each chapter in her book, from Point of View to Simplicity, offers substantive design advice and evocative photos that capture the essence of a relaxed, natural lifestyle.

Six Unique Homes, One Inspiring Philosophy

Lauren’s book showcases six distinct homes, each embodying her design principles:

  • A new farmhouse that combines modernity with rustic charm.
  • A classic American historical home that preserves timeless beauty.
  • A lakeside contemporary house perfect for serene, waterfront living.
  • A modern villa that offers a fresh take on luxurious simplicity.
  • A turn-of-the-century American foursquare blending historical elements with modern comfort.
  • A cedar and glass house on a bluff that merges architecture with nature.

Timelessness and Creativity in Every Chapter

Lauren’s belief in timeless design and creative functionality is evident in every book page. She writes, “Down to Earth explores the key elements of my aesthetic through a collection of homes that I believe embody the natural, relaxed, collected, and easy way of living I’ve come to love so much. . . . I hope this exploration into what down-to-earth means to me inspires you to create your own carefree, easy, and most importantly, fully present kind of life at home.”
