Start With the Art

Start With the Art Synopsis

Transform any space into a room you love-no matter your budget or style-with this smart, accessible, fun guide to decorating from the lead designer on Magnolia's Artfully Designed

Most interior decorating books save hanging pictures on the wall for last. 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 Papier shows you how to find it-whether it's a beloved heirloom object, a painting, a fun collection, or a 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 for you.

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