Design expert and Emmy-nominated TV host of Netflix's Queer Eye shows you how to set up your space so that it takes care of you. Learn how to follow your happiness to find your style, optimize the function of every room, organize your space, and so much more.

The way your home makes you feel matters. After all, it's your ultimate safe space and needs to be able to host your most intimate conversations and memorable celebrations. So setting it up for comfort, style, and authenticity is essential to your self-care.

In Right at Home, Bobby shows you how designing your space, no matter what size home you have, has an impact that's immediate, visceral, and undeniable. Learn how to:

  • Articulate what makes you happy so you can land on a design that reflects your truest style
  • Prioritize function and comfort so your space works for you (and not the other way around)
  • Know what to let go of and what to repurpose so that every room stays organized
  • Engage all your senses with texture, contrast, scent, and sound so you can stay in the present
  • Understand the emotional impact of colour and confidently pick patterns, palettes, and colour pops
  • Maximize lighting (both natural and artificial) to support a positive mental state
  • Boost your mood by bringing plants and nature into your design

Right at Home demonstrates that good design can aid mental wellness and helps us achieve a new sense of happiness within the home. With gorgeous photographs of beautifully styled rooms and Bobby's tried-and-true tips, this is the definitive guide to designing a modern home.
