A Design Partnership

06/11/2026

We are so proud of our client Amber Guyton of Blessed Little Bungalow for the announcement of her first book, Soulful Maximalism: A Colorful Guide to Living Boldly at Home.

What started as a way to define her own design philosophy has grown into a movement rooted in joy, culture, layers, and intention. Through this book, Amber invites readers to create homes that reflect who they are and what they love, while embracing color, personality, and meaningful storytelling along the way.

Releasing October 6, 2026, Soulful Maximalism is more than a design book. Congratulations to Amber on this incredible milestone.

Pre-orders are available now!

So proud of you Amber! Blessed Little Bungalow

So…. I wrote a book!
224 pages.
30,124 words.
And 15 months after receiving a short email with a simple question, then daring to say YES, it’s finally here.

SOULFUL MAXIMALISM: A Colorful Guide to Living Boldly at Home

Available now for PRE-ORDER and releasing on October 6, 2026!

For years I was asked to “describe my design style,” and I could never succinctly answer the question. And then one day, I defined it: Soulful Maximalism. And it stuck like glue! In this book, I’ll break down the four principles of Soulful Maximalism - Joy, Culture, Layers, and Intention - and teach you how to design spaces with bold color, pattern, and character that are good for the soul.

This isn’t just a book about decorating. It’s about celebrating who you are, what you love, and how you live. Throughout the pages, I’ll share stories about my childhood in South Carolina, incredible client projects, and give you an intimate view of my own home, in hopes of inspiring you to color outside the lines and create a home that unapologetically celebrates you.

I couldn’t think of a better way to celebrate 10 years of Blessed Little Bungalow and my 40th birthday than sharing my first book with the world. Your girl is a whole AUTHOR with a freakin’ ISBN. I can’t believe it, God is so good! Thank you for being on this crazy blessing of a journey with me.

What editors are covering right now has less to do with “what’s trending” and more to do with how people want to live.⁠
⁠
At High Point Market and in recent editorial conversations, we’re noticing a stronger focus on spaces that feel layered, livable, and experience-driven. ⁠
⁠
Pattern is returning in a more personal way.⁠
Performance materials are becoming synonymous with luxury. ⁠
And entertaining-centered spaces, including the continued rise of Mahjong culture, are evolving from niche moments into broader lifestyle stories.⁠
