Start with the Art: The Smart Way to Decorate Any Room on Any Budget

From the star of star of the upcoming Magnolia TV show Rooms We Love, a stunning guide to transforming your space with color and art.

Most interior design books will have you start with a theme, a color, a piece of furniture, or a room, and probably have you hanging the art last. Natalie Papier, in the first interior design book for the Voracious list, flips the script and has you start, instead, with the art, and build out the room or space from there. Not only does this allow for highlighting pieces of art that are meaningful to you, from family heirlooms to the weird trinket you found at that backwoods antique store, but it creates endless budget freedom to design with what you already have. This revolutionary approach will guide the reader to creating a home or office that speaks to – and from – the soul.
 
Papier has an impressive social media following and is filming the second season of her Magnolia Network show, Artfully Designed. Written with a former Real Simple editor, Start with the Art will be a highly tactile resource, guiding the reader to placement, proportion, color, volume and so much more; once you start with the art, you’ll have the tools to transform any space, on any budget.
