Editorial Reviews

"This book is filled with approachable, implementable ideas for many styles, moods, and sizes of space. Katie did such a great job finding creative folks with inspiring spaces and explaining why they work. It's a great book for anyone exploring how to make their space work better for them."

Emily Henderson

With Embrace Your Space, Katie Holdefehr hits home the fact that design has less to do with big budgets and the vast scale of a space and more to do with the size of the heart, creativity, and intention of its inhabitants. Each home featured is not only a masterclass in editing, craftsmanship, and inventiveness, it is also proof of how beautifully you can live at any price—as long as you deliver big doses of yourself and your personality in your space.

Anita Yokota

It could be simply letting go of what no longer serves you, organizing your closet, or incorporating more color and joy into your space."
