Gómez guides us through various chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of interior design:

• Chapter 1: “Unveiling Your Style” invites introspection.

Understanding your style is the first step towards crafting a space that truly feels like home.

• Chapter 3: “Adding Texture and Dimension” explores the transformative power of texture. Gomez encourages readers to experiment with different materials, from rough-hewn wood to plush velvet, to create layers of visual interest.
• Chapter 4: “Color Psychology” delves into the emotional impact of colors. Gomez provides guidance on choosing color palettes that evoke desired moods and atmospheres - calming blues for bedrooms, energizing yellows for kitchens, or grounding greens for living spaces.
