“5 Easy Steps to Create Your Own Authentic Home” by Kathy Banak is an educational self-help guide on ways to improve the quality and amount of positive energy in our homes and environment. Starting a home project can be challenging and overwhelming, and that’s why the author has given us these steps towards creating an authentic home.

While designing a home, one should visualise how he or she wants the space to feel, even for others too. In order to reduce working hours, especially for DIYers out there, one should consider hiring a professional to avoid burnout or even abandoning the project before it starts. I was excited as I learned about the differences between hue, tint, tone, and shade. There’s also the concept of colour theory and different types of colour schemes. This shows the author is highly knowledgeable about colours. Furthermore, the author discusses factors to consider when carrying out extensive modelling, such as room zones, colour consultants, room flow, paint samples, and so on.

The book’s layout speaks volumes about the author’s sense of organization. Kathy practices what she teaches by driving home her points in a short and concise manner. I also like how she properly divides each step into different chapters for better comprehension. I equally learned about adopting Feng Shui's principles with respect to colours, including an inexpensive way of making customised area rugs.

I spotted no negatives in this book. Again, there was no error to consider while reading, showcasing perfect editing. Hence, I’m glad to award it a perfect 5 out of 5 stars. It is recommended for interior designers, as they’ll draw inspiration from better ways to create an authentic home. Again, it is ideal for someone who wishes to remodel his or her home, as the lessons learned here are invaluable.

I like how the review mentioned that 'one should visualise how he or she wants the space to feel, even for others too'; that's a very good point. I think most of us will go for what's fashionable at the time instead of focusing on how we want a room to make us and others feel. I will add this book to my shelves, thank you for the beautiful review.
