Designology by Sally Augustin

DESIGNOLOGY cuts through the fads of clutter and cleaning books and delivers the clear, uncomplicated truth about why we respond to certain spaces in certain ways, and how we can use colors, scents, and other sensory experiences to create spaces that serve our real needs. Sally Augustin delivers straightforward action plans we need to develop places where we can live our best lives.

"Such a great bookI never realized how we use the space we live in to express ourselves as much as I learned after reading this book. Sally explains what a Placetype is and how we can shape the home around us into our ideal expressive humble abode. I am so inspired and have so many fun projects for the Winter now!" —Ask Away Blog 

"Discover your personal placetype so you can be happier at home." —Cas Aarsen, bestselling author of Real Life Organizing

"The time is ripe for practical, research-based information on how to create a home or workspace that is just right for you. Augustin’s unique approach offers such guidance in her ascinating, innovative and eminently useful book." —Clare Cooper Marcus, professor and author of House as a Mirror of Self: Exploring the Deeper Meaning of Home
