Inspirational and soothing. This should be taught at architecture faculties.
Reviewed in the United States on June 27, 2024

Rustic and modern, time ago I got a book for architects about this topic. As an architect I understood the originality of the concepts and the designes; but I noticed just one or two of the houses were really enjoyable homes. The rest were investments, a sort of contemporary museums for collections of modern art as inscrutable as the houses. I don't mean that architects have been taken away from beauty and happiness, or that some customers aren't looking for that type of houses; just that maybe in specialized books the emphasis is mostly in an architecture that albeit very professional is so inscrutable that only a formal education gets you to understand it, and not much of homes that are meant to live an grow up and, most importantly, be happy.

In this book Joanna Gaines indicate that she has not formal education in architecture, and nevertheless this is one of the books with highest standards in teaching and showing the principles of its interior design. There is an introduction of styles, of ways they can blend; there is real life experience along the text whose absence in architectural books is a great sin in my opinion. I mean this because architecture doesn't make much sense in the academic system of colleges and universities, where it is forgotten that it is mainly a craft. You can learn all the laws about it, all the design principles, but as a craft you have to practice it, see with your eyes how the materials and colors and areas of spaces react to people living there and measure its success from that aspect, and that takes time and years. The work of Joanna Gaines and her husband has those years to show us what can be done. After finishing it I feel encouraged to making the place I live a more beautiful one, a more useful one, and one with my own identity.

One last observation about the book is the professionalism in it as an object. In the end each house is credited to the team of architects and designers that collaborated, in each chapter each design choice and material is explained and easier to digest thanks to the didactic categorization. Beyond the authors most of the photographers and editorial staff are women, I don't know if by choice or design, but I am happy for this because while I read the book I was curious by the excellent formatting of the book and the photographic work: they match perfectly the writing of the author as if she had made those parts as well. I am not sure if that feeling would exist if the staff had been different, I suspect not.

I received this book yesterday and have been spending as much time as I can looking through this book. Joanna, you are amazing - you first look at identifying style and I loved that. I have spent hours and hours before getting this book looking at house plans and trying to figure out our "style" - and this has been amazing. There are some drastic and some very subtle differences in style, but those differences can be huge for some people! I have looked at some reviews and they have said there is no "Color", this is "too neutral", I believe you start with your style and with the basics- then you can move on to color. That is such an incredibly personal thing, color is very specific to the individual person. One may want to add it through accents, another through painting walls and being creative with what you love. Joanna you are reaching everyone, and you certainly can add color to anything you want, but you have to start with the basics! What if you want to sell the house- or 10 years down the road you decide you want something different? I totally get it if you want color - paint red, purple, orange - it can be beautiful, and I may do that in some areas. We have just been so fortunate to buy a 16 acre property in Colorado and I am trying to get inspiration for a new house. I am SO EXCITED about this book!!!!! Most is figuring out our new house, but part is to sell our old house. I know people will not want a bright orange bedroom, a green wall in the front room, yellow kitchen.... That is crazy to resell, and honestly why I ever painted those bright colors is crazy, not a happy place. I have learned that in the future I will do more neutral colors and add bright accents, I can change those more easily than a full wall or room of paint - that means I can change what I do and create excitement with out painting walls all over and over!
Also, if any of you know Joanna - what episode can you point me too that had huge bright colors???? You should know her style by now and like it or not!! Thank you so much for a beautiful book and inspiration!

I got this as a Christmas present and I couldn’t be happier with it!! I am obsessed with Joana’s design style and her aesthetics and I really wanted learn more about how she does it.

I thought it was going to be a giant book of architectural photography but there’s actually a good mix of her design theory in between the photos and I’m learning a lot! The theory part is very accessible and well written and the tips are illustrated. The book is masterfully laid out and the visuals are beautiful. This book is a great place to start if you like the Magnolia design aesthetic or even if you’re just looking to learn a little more about design and what goes into designing interiors in general. Makes a great gift for someone who likes architecture or design theory already as well ;)
