Take a page from Caitlin Creer’s debut decorating book.
An Intentional Home: Creating Spaces for Living Beautifully by Utah-based interior designer Caitlin Creer is as much a survey of her fresh, timeless interiors as it is a how-to-decorate manual presented in a personal, conversational tone. Through rich photography and insightful, informative text, Creer breaks down her design process into seven straightforward steps, each explored in its own chapter. A hit list of thoughtful decorating tips follows. Readers are not only inspired by the engaging visuals but are also equipped with knowledge to help create intentional, beautiful and livable spaces of their own.

ON PROCESS: “When we find that intersection of what makes sense for our lives and what is appealing to the eye, we’ve created something special.”
ON INSPIRATION:
“How do you want your home to feel? More specifically, how
do you want to feel in your home?”
ON COLOR:
“A color used in varying tones and repeatedly in a room can function as a neutral foundation in the space because it is abundant and doesn’t stand out.”Â
ON FOCAL POINTS:
 “Whether it’s a fireplace, piece of art, or show-stopping sofa, a well-balanced space lets the star shine and allows other pieces to be the supporting cast.”
ON ESSENCE:
“The real character and identity of a home is evident once you see how people enjoy and use a space and how it supports them.”Â
ON SURPRISES:
“Memorable homes are often that way because they have elements that stand out or aren’t predictable.”Â
