How to Live with Objects

In the contemporary home, it’s less about having a perfectly furnished interior and more about creating a personal, unique space filled with objects that hold meaning. 

How to Live With Objects is an anti-decorating book that champions this new approach to interiors: simply surrounding yourself with things you love.

In this book, the authors (founders of the renowned American design blog Sight Unseen) introduce readers to four categories of objects: vintage, contemporary, handmade, and sentimental. They guide readers through the process of finding and identifying quality pieces and how to incorporate them into their space. They also teach how to discover creators and styles, what questions to ask when buying objects, and why it’s okay to have at least one thing in your home that no one else understands.

The book serves as an introduction to maximizing the visual and emotional impact of any interior, regardless of space limitations, style preferences, or budget. From in-depth analysis of the world of vintage hunting, to anecdotes about favorite objects from creatives like Misha Kahn and Lykke Li, to home tours with object lovers like Charlotte Taylor and Su Wu, How to Live with Objects is an indispensable tool for anyone looking to transform their home into a true sanctuary.
