Meg Braff's style as exemplified in her book is pronounced and very colorful. It is the opposite of understated, so just be aware. I love her use of rattan, bamboo, and traditionally inspired but tastefully updated wallpapers.
The seller, Benefit Books, was great in every way.

Purchase options and add-ons
In her first book, interior designer Meg Braff presents the building blocks of a pretty, polished home.
Everyone wants a house that is filled with grace and charm. Classic yet cheerful, Meg Braff’s style has a formality that is never studied, an elegance that is approachable and pretty. In seven chapters that cover the basics of her look, Braff shares advice on creating rooms that are both livable and attractive. In the first two chapters, she explores the key elements of her look—color and pattern—and how to employ them for maximum impact in your home. She discusses the essential elements of stylish bedrooms (hint: bring back the dressing table), explores the fundamentals of inviting baths and breakfast rooms, and gives tips on making chic outdoor spaces. Finally, Braff explains the importance of finishing touches, the little extras that elevate a room’s decor from good to great. All of her advice comes together in an overall theme of gracious living that will be warmly welcomed by readers looking to impart polish, color, and grace to their home.
Lushly illustrated with vivid images of Braff ’s lively work, The Decorated Home is an inspiring, idea-filled resource that readers will turn to again and again.
“Think Slim Aarons meets Technicolor elegance.”

Review
"If you're ready to graduate from hand-me-down furniture and weekend trips to Ikea, then this book is a great place to start."
—Apartment Therapy
"Interior designer Meg Braff shares her personal style plus the essential design elements she thinks every room needs."
—Confetti Style Blog
"Speaking of fabulous books available for pre-order, Meg Braff, one of my all-time favorite interior designers, is releasing her first book, The Decorated Home: Living with Style and Joy, in April. I can hardly wait!"
—The Glam Pad
"Braff considers each client’s personal items and their placement throughout the home to be the final layer to creating happiness. 'Whether it is a piece inherited from family or just something you love, meaningful items bring great joy to every room—no matter where you live.'"
—Flower Magazine
"Colorful and classic, her interiors are all about symmetry, successful use in mixing patterns and color, and the effective use of timeless vintage treasures."
—Array Magazine
"The importance of finishing touches, the little extras, can elevate a room's decor from good to great for gracious living... as this volume illustrates."
—Society Diaries
"In The Decorated Home, Meg shares her recipe for a spirited dwelling. Color and pattern are her main ingredients; an eclectic eye for layering rooms adds a finishing touch that is at once purposeful and personable."
—Southern Lady Magazine
"Best Books"
—MarkDSikes.com
"In her new book, designer Meg Braff shows us the transformative power of intense hues."
—ArchitecturalDigest.com
"It makes me want to redecorate my whole house!"
—Ridgeley's Radar
"In her first book, Braff takes her fans and followers by the hand and shares practical advice and trade secrets, like choosing colors and mixing patterns. Best of all, she shows us, in delightful, colorful detail, the versatility which has propelled her continued success in more than 25 years in the design world."
—The Glam Pad
"She can instantly transform a blank canvas into something fabulous by infusing it with her signature island palette of blues, aquas and mint greens."
—Cafe Design
"In her debut book, Braff shares with readers her upbeat design work that brims with color, pattern, charm, whimsy, and joie de vivre. While reading her book, I kept thinking how much of an "old-school" decorator Braff is, a term that I use as a compliment. There is nothing weird or outré about Braff's work. What is in evidence is Braff's enthusiasm for fabrics, furniture, and other tools of her craft, all of which she so obviously enjoys working with."

After months of anticipation I was excited to receive Meg Braff's book. I liked it so much that I ordered one for my daughter-in-law as I thought she could get some ideas for decorating her showroom at the High Point furniture market. She loved Meg's work too. I believe this is a book that speaks across the generations--I am in my late 60s and my daughter-in-law is in her early 30s. We both got ideas of things we would like to do. Meg Braff amazes me with her artful use of color and clever arrangement of accessories. This book is a keeper for sure.

I have many, many interior design books and this is quite possibly my favorite. I like "new traditional" design that is livable. This book hits the mark and then some. I know I will enjoy looking through it again and again!

Good photography
Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2017
Page after page is filled with gorgeous photos of Meg's work. It's the type of eye candy that I look for in a good quality design coffee table book. Meg also shares personal stories about her journey into design and about her family, etc. One of the better interior design books I've seen!
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2017
If you love color and pattern, you will love this book! I'm a huge chinoiserie fan, and Meg is the master of this look. Beautiful rooms and lots of decorating tips. If you enjoy design, you will love this book!
Reviewed in the United States on May 20, 2017
Fab book for those who love colorful, unique interiors! The 'forward' by Charlotte Moss SELLS this book; if you love anything by CMoss, then---this is a book for you! Meg Braff's Southern Roots in Design 'shine' in this lovely volume!
Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2017
Beautiful book on the outside. Couldn't wait to settle in and open the book. While the photographs are lovely, halfway through I felt like I was looking at the same room over and over again in just different colors. I was expecting a book that had design and color ideas for contemporary, transitional, etc styles. Instead, it is basically the same room and style over and over again. The cover of the book is probably the prettiest room in the book. I'm afraid I'm returning it.
