The Forever Home

"A stunning book for new homeowners, lifelong renters, and anyone who has ever felt overwhelmed by what color to paint their walls or which fabric shades to buy, helping readers make classic choices, maximize their budget, and ultimately create a breathtaking home that will outlast trends and stand the test of time. We often hear the term "forever home" and think of an imaginary last place we want to live, splurging on fantastical details to pass down through generations. While that image may be true, a forever home can also be a space (whether that be a home or an apartment) where you put down roots, make lasting memories, and feel completely at home. In Forever Home, Mikel Welch takes the stress out of decorating, walking readers through approachable principles to help them create homes they can love for as long as they want. Many have invested their savings into purchasing their home, or have high rental payments, so realistic budgeting is front of mind in Forever Home as Mikel shows how to make every dollar go as far as possible-exploring the art of illusion; the art of making things look very expensive without spending a lot of money. The book also features a variety of home styles and real forever homes, speaking to a diverse audience of readers, whether they love traditional style, midcentury modern, or contemporary dâecor. Forever Home inspires and guides readers on how to their "forever" homes using classic, timeless , how to make informed decisions on the dâecor details, and when to splurge and where to save when shopping for pieces that will last a lifetime. This book is for the renters, the children moving back in with their parents, the first-time homeowners, the short stay dwellers, the dreamers of the one-day home, and those which have already found their forever home"--
