Home is where the art is

Most interior decorating books have you put a picture on the wall as the finishing touch. But Natalie Papier, star of Magnolia’s Artfully Designed, wants you to start with the art. To create a room you love, simply begin with something that moves you. 


Art is everywhere, and Natalie shows how to find it—whether it’s a beloved heirloom object, a painting, or textile. With visual guides, insightful ideas, and straight talk, she helps you build from your inspiration to incorporate the textures, patterns, colors, and furnishings that make spaces feel perfect to you.

​

This revolutionary approach creates endless freedom to decorate with what you already have—liberating you from budget pressure while transforming rooms that speak to—and from—the soul.
