The Forever Home: Classic, Clever Design to Help You Put Down Roots

榮獲《圖書館雜誌》（LIBRARY JOURNAL）年度最佳圖書 • 這本令人驚豔、易於遵循的設計書，向擁有房產者和租房者展示瞭如何最大化利用預算，創造出一個兼具功能性、永恆感和個人獨特性的空間——作者是 Netflix 節目《Hack My Home》的聯合主持人，同時也是《The Drew Barrymore Show》的常駐設計專家。

我們經常聽到「永恆的家」（Forever Home）這個詞，並將其想像成一個我們希望餘生都居住於此、不惜重金打造夢幻細節以傳承後代的虛幻之地。然而，一個永恆的家可以是任何空間，無論是房子還是公寓，只要您能在這裡扎根、創造長久的回憶，並感到完全自在舒適，它就是您的永恆的家。

如果您曾因不知道該為牆壁塗上什麼顏色或購買哪種壁紙而感到不知所措，Mikel Welch 將為您消除裝飾的壓力。他將引導您瞭解容易上手的設計原則，幫助您打造一個讓您隨心所欲地愛下去的家。在每一步中，實際預算都是 Mikel 優先考慮的要素，他會向您展示何時值得花費大筆預算，以及如何通過視覺幻象的藝術（也就是說，如何在不花大錢的情況下讓物品看起來很昂貴！）來節省開支。

本書有 Drew Barrymore 和 Studio McGee 的 Shea McGee 所撰寫的序言，並配有令人驚豔的空間照片和圖形，以闡釋設計概念。《The Forever Home》將引導您就裝飾細節做出明智的決策。您將會學到 Mikel 關於確定房間合適地毯尺寸、建立協調的配色方案、購買能使用一生的家具等方面的觀點。無論您是首次購房者、短期租客，還是已經找到您的永恆之家，本書都是您獲取經典、永恆設計的一站式資源。

A LIBRARY JOURNAL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR • This stunning, easy-to-follow design book shows homeowners and renters how to maximize their budget and create a space that is functional, timeless, and uniquely their own—from the co-host of Netflix’s Hack My Home and in-house design expert on The Drew Barrymore Show.

We often hear the term "forever home" and think of an imaginary place we want to live in for the rest of our lives, where we've splurged on fantastical details to pass down through generations. However, a forever home can be any space, whether a house or an apartment, where you put down roots, make lasting memories, and feel completely at ease.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed by what color to paint your walls or which wall coverings to buy, Mikel Welch takes the stress out of decorating, walking you through approachable design principles to help you create a home you can love for as long as you want. At every step, realistic budgeting is front of mind as Mikel shows when it makes sense to splurge and how else you can save through the art of illusion (AKA making things look expensive without spending a lot of money!).

With forewords by Drew Barrymore and Shea McGee of Studio McGee--as well as photographs of stunning spaces and graphics to illustrate design concepts--The Forever Home walks you through how to make informed decisions on decorating details. You'll learn Mikel's point of view on determining the proper rug size for a room, developing a cohesive color palette, shopping for pieces that will last a lifetime, and more. Whether you're a first-time homeowner, a short stay dweller, or have already found your forever home, this book is your one-stop resource for classic, timeless design.
