In Dream Design Live, decorator Paloma Contreras goes beyond interior design to show readers how to inhabit their homes in fulfilling and beautiful ways.

“Explores the design process through the lens of travel, inspiration, and personal style.

As such, the tome is both an instructional lesson and a personal story, a great read for the design professional and enthusiast alike.” ―Architectural Digest

This beautiful, full-color, overfilled book proves that the most appealing interiors are also the most personal ones.

Chapters include:

• Finding Inspiration
• Creating Your Signature Style
• Setting the Stage
• Form and Function
• It’s All in the Design
• Effortless Entertaining

Contreras takes readers through the design process and encourages them to seek inspiration from the approach that works best for them.

From thinking creatively to improve both your home and your life, to showing you how to turn your dreams into realities, the author reveals how you can take the welcoming space you’ve just created and spend meaningful time there pursuing the activities you love.

Contreras writes in her introduction, “During my time in the design industry, I’ve come to realize that la dolce vita starts at home because that’s where we are our truest selves.

Our homes can help us live the lives we want and can be tools for living. They provide an environment where we can retreat from the rest of the world and set the stage for the type of life we want to live. When things look and feel good at home, this feeling serves as an impetus for living beautifully in other areas of our lives.”

With stunning photography and accessible-yet-elegant tips, Dream Design Live fuses interior decorating advice with lifestyle recommendations and demonstrates how living a happy and satisfying life starts at home
