Old Brand New: Colorful Homes for Maximal Living by Dabito
You may know Dabito as a blogger, interior designer, and photographer for Justina Blakeney, but did you know he wrote a book? Yup! It officially drops on August 29, 2023, but is available for pre-order now. I love his creative use of color, space, and maximalist design style, and he’s also a vintage lover, so you know he’s a favorite. August can’t come soon enough. I can’t wait to crack this one open.
Can I say how happy I am to say Anita is one of my friends and she is so incredibly talented? You may remember her as a participant in the No Makeup Home Tour 2018. Anita is a licensed therapist turned interior designer and understands that our surroundings are more than just a reflection of our personal style. Instead of basing decorating decisions on trends and fads, Anita takes a therapy-informed approach that focuses equally on mental health and design. In “Home Therapy,” she presents the psychology behind making your home intentional.

Think Like A Decorator: To Create a Comfortable, Original, and Stylish Home by Leslie Banker
This book will be out at the end of March and is available for pre-order. Leslie’s mother (also an interior designer) said, “thinking like a decorator means focusing on developing the story of the space and its inhabitants.” Sage words. She explains how to use your favorite color in a room design, how to style family heirlooms into your designs, how to solve the inevitable issues that will arise, and more.
Call It Home: The Details That Matter by Amber Lewis
You probably know Amber Lewis from Amber Interiors. Her California Cool design style rose to fame on Instagram, and she continues to be a powerhouse designer to this day. Funny side story, I was walking around the Loloi Rugs showroom in High Point, and suddenly there was this huge commotion right next to me. Literally, 2 feet away was Amber Lewis was a flock of fangirling interior designers swarming her. Anyhoo, this home decor book doesn’t drop until October 2023, but I’m sure it’ll be worth the wait.
Okay, this book was released last July, technically not in 2023, but it’s still a newly released home decor book. I can’t not mention Big Thrift Energy by my Insta friend Virgina Chamlee. We are vintage decor soul sisters. She will teach you how to score pieces at a great price with tips so good I can’t believe she’s sharing these trade secrets. Most recently, Big Thift Energy was picked as a “Best New Book” by People Magazine. Bravo girl! I’m standing and cheering you on over here!
I had the honor of speaking with Jean Stoffer at the Cambria Surfaces interior design meet-up a few years ago, and let me tell you, this lady is so incredibly talented, so when I heard she wrote a home decor book, I pre-ordered immediately. THIS IS NOT A DESIGN BOOK! Rather this is a memoir of Jean’s career path and how she quit a stressful job to pursue a dream. Her inspiring words will give you the courage to discover your own dreams and remind you to slow down and enjoy your own journey.
