Designer and HGTV personality Leanne Ford shares her fresh, “do your home your way” approach and her freeing design process for loosening up, thinking differently, and creating a warm and soulful home for all to enjoy

Feel Free Home is the art of free-thinking home design. It’s permission to listen to your heart about what feels right in your space, and to use each room as your own creative canvas. Join Leanne Ford as she shares ideas for creating warm, lovely, and livable surroundings tailored to you and your family―and encourages you to be bold and to do your home your way.

In this practical guide, Ford presents design tricks and techniques learned through her decades-long career of renovating, repairing, restoring, and decorating houses. Her savvy advice is a breath of fresh air for real-world home design:

Don’t be too perfect or you will lose the charm and homeyness of a space.

Keep what you can and reuse what you have―in with the old!

Painting anything gives it new life

Less is more―and undone can be beautiful.

Silly solutions are sometimes the best

Each chapter offers readers down-to-earth decorating ideas, design hacks, and a wealth of how-to recipes for creating wall textures, exposed ceilings, painted floors, low-cost kitchen and bath makeovers, and much more. You will come away empowered, inspired, and with a new perspective on how to make your home more joyful, relaxed, and just right for you.
