It’s a Mood: Feel-Good Interiors for Modern Living

Interior design legend Cara Woodhouse presents a bold, modern aesthetic for a new generation of design enthusiasts--and shows us how to create spaces that we will truly love to inhabit

It’s a Mood helps readers get in touch with their own design instincts. Organized by mood, this book offers both inspiration and practical advice for incorporating the elements that we feel passionate about.

For interior designer Cara Woodhouse, interiors are experiences. Her approach goes beyond the visual, creating spaces that intuitively tap into our senses and invoke a mood that washes over all who enter. Her instinct for capturing a person’s spirit and translating it into a personal space is unmatched.

Woodhouse’s interiors balance pattern play, an emphasis on eye candy, moody maximalism, quirky accents, and anything fun and random. With special tips on controlling sound in a space, what type of stone works best and when, and how to deck out your home office, this book is for everyone who wants to curate an authentic, original aesthetic perfectly tailored to their own preferences, while accentuating the beauty of each room.

This book appeals equally to those decorating their first apartments on a budget to those setting up their forever homes with signature touches.
