Styled: Secrets for Arranging Rooms, from Tabletops to Bookshelves Hardcover – October 13, 2015

Wonderful book! I can't get enough of it. It has introduction to styles for beginners like me. No obscure names and unknown words, she explains everything. There are many helpful tips on how to combine textures, choose bright colors vs tonal palette, how to show off what you have, and make it feel like "your" space.It also helps you determine your style. I agree that the quiz makes no sense, but I could go through the list of styles and pick what I like about every one of those. It has plenty of inspiring photos of interiors with explanations of how it was done. It does have a lot of mid-century modern examples, but those are examples and I took them as guides, not as "go do this to your room". Overall, it helped me relax my "every surface needs to be empty and clean" standards and gave me a sense of how to make my house a cozy place.

I am surprised by the negative reviews of this book from those her read her blog - the photos, styles, and rooms and very much in the same tone as the blog. I found this book to be fabulously helpful.I agree that the style quiz at the beginning is pointless and worth skipping, but past that I devoured every page. For every photo of a room, she highlights a few points to explain why items or choices work for that room. You don’t have to like the style of that particular room to learn from these tidbits. The tips in this book gave me a foundation to make thoughtful choices about my space to fit my personal style and living style. And the shopping recommendations list at the end is fantastic. I’ll reach for this one again and again.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book!! I am a home decorating book and magazine junkie, so I have read a lot of them. I always wondered why my house looked nice, but never like the pictures I see in these books and magazines. Now I know why! This book tells you how to take it a step further and "style" your house. It offered a very different perspective from everything else I have read. I also was quite surprised at my results on the style test. I always thought that I was something different and when I took the test in the book, I couldn't believe what style it said I was. I thought, this is so wrong, but then read the description and thought this is exactly what I like. Now that I have more of a direction, I think that I can cull my accessories and artwork a bit better. This book was just so informative! I just loved it and will probably read it again! Just awesome!

I read the whole darn thing in 1 day!Beautiful pictures. The quiz was fun and lucky for me aligned to what I already knew about myself, yet revealed terns I didn't realize. Zen, Modern Glam, Bohemian.The book is about STYLING your house not decorating it. Stuff about how to set up photos and whatnot. You can look beyond that though and get plenty of decorating ideas and inspiration for your hope. The resources list is nice too.

I've been a fan of Emily Henderson since she won Design Star on HGTV years ago so I was happily anticipating her book and wasn't disappointed since her and I have a very similar style. I find inspiration and ideas all through this book but I can see how those with a minimal aesthetic or more traditional style would be disappointed. Emily's style definitely leans to mid-century and boho, as many reviewers have pointed out, and many of the rooms she designs and showcases fall into one or both of those categories. The inside look at this book on Amazon features many pictures that are true to those styles so If you aren't a fan of what you see there, don't buy it...there's a lot more of the same on the inside pages. One of the things I like best about Emily is that she sometimes thinks "outside of the box" in some of her design choices and I enjoy the unexpected quirkiness she can bring to a room. I like a bit of "organized clutter" on a bookshelf and think a coffee tablescape is a great way to make a living room more inviting. If you are into that, Emily offers some great tips. The only thing about this book that I didn't care for was the style test. If styling or designing a home is your vocation, it might be a good tool for evaluating a potential clients' style but it didn't help me and was a wasted chapter in an otherwise very informative book.

As an avid reader of Emily's blog for many years, I had high expectations for her book and hoped that it would live up to the high standard of content that she has set for herself. I was SO relieved to see that the book embodied her voice, was full of new and useful content (too many books written by bloggers recycle), and had so many beautiful pictures. I was also pleasantly surprised to see many new styles displayed in the book that are not Emily's typical style, but are equally beautiful and still contain her styling signature. I spent over an hour going through the book and didn't come anywhere close to reading everything. What a great book that is both accessible and beautiful!

This is a very accessible book as an introduction for people who are new to the basic concepts of how to decorate a room in a stylish way. I appreciate the author's encouragement to work with what you have, rather than to go out shopping right away. However, there are some good tips for when it is time to shop. The design principles presented are brief and to the point, but I think that if the reader takes the time to learn and absorb them well, they can be applied effectively. This book appears to be geared more toward the average person, or used as a stylish coffee table book, rather than aspiring professionals. I'm at the beginning of my journey, so it was a fine choice for me.

Gostei muito do conteúdo e o livro é lindo demais! Eu estou aprofundando meus estudos em inglês e decidi abordar temas que gosto como design de interiores e estou amando o livro.

This is the best book for people who want to immediately start improving their home style. It's very practical and gives some solid advice on how to arrange things, match colours, etc.

Love this book! Is so pretty and interesting at the same time. Im learning so many good tips on how to style my home!
