Habitat: The Field Guide to Decorating has become one of my all-time favorites. Lauren Liess has written a very thoughtful book filled with a concise strategy to use when decorating your home. She guides you step by step on the things to consider when designing a home that reflects who you are. Some other reviewers have complained that the photos in the book are too bland or they all look too muted and the same. That is because this is Ms. Liess aesthetic. Part of HER style. But she shows you how to arrive at your own style in a very detailed and deliberate way. It does require you to read the content and apply those principles to your own preferences. This book is worth repeated readings. She has so much information that might be missed the first time around. Truly a wonderful read! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #163,920 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #46 in Interior Decoration & Ornament #159 in Home Decorating (Books) #326 in Interior Design | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 800 Reviews | ## Images ![Habitat: Lauren Liess's nature-inspired decorating philosophy for creating warm, livable, personal homes. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OvoJk3SsS.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Reference *by A***R on March 12, 2020* Absolutely love this book!

Destined to become a classic on decorating. *by M***S on February 10, 2019* I have read countless books on decorating over the years.

Truly a wonderful read! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Incredibly beautiful debut and a serious achievement. *by H***7 on October 15, 2015* Lady Liess is an absolute gem. This book is a stunner -- full of great advice for the committed amateur, with super helpful resources and details that really show how Lauren prefers things and achieves a her beautiful aesthetic across every client style and objective. Excellent balance of photos and education. While there is plenty of new-to-readers work showcase (yay!), the "field guide" approach to the nuts and bolts of decorating is no gimmick -- she has put a lot of work into distilling the how-to's of her project organization and aesthetic approach and it really shows. Wonderful personal, conversational tone (as on her excellent blog). You never know if you're getting a ghostwritten photoshoot (some designers just don't want or need to write well), but I am super impressed with Habitat and now even more so with Lauren. Absolutely loving the read and the education. ## Frequently Bought Together - Habitat: The Field Guide to Decorating - The Art of Home: A Designer Guide to Creating an Elevated Yet Approachable Home - Feels Like Home: Relaxed Interiors for a Meaningful Life --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/18972095-habitat-lauren-liesss-nature-inspired-decorating-philosophy-for-creating-warm](https://www.desertcart.us/products/18972095-habitat-lauren-liesss-nature-inspired-decorating-philosophy-for-creating-warm) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-04*
