Sarah Style - Audiobook Review
If you've ever stared at a plain laundry room and imagined it bursting with color, or dreamed of turning a cramped kitchen into a culinary haven, Sarah Richardson's Sarah Style is the soundtrack to that transformation. As an audiobook, it retains the charm of her bestselling book while adding a new layer of intimacy: you hear Sarah's warm, conversational tone and her genuine enthusiasm for design.
From the very first page-now spoken-the narrator invites listeners into a world where every room tells its own story. The guide is broken down room by room, from the master bedroom to the kids' rooms, the kitchen, the bathroom, and even those "in-between" spaces that often go unnoticed. Each section begins with a quick overview of the key design principles-balance, color harmony, and functional flow-and then dives into actionable tips. Whether you're a DIY novice or a seasoned decorator, Sarah's clear explanations make complex concepts feel approachable.
What sets this audiobook apart is its visual imagination translated into sound. The narrator describes full-page spreads in vivid detail, painting pictures of textures, patterns, and lighting that you can almost see. When she discusses the "laundry room from drab to fab," she explains how a splash of pastel paint, clever storage solutions, and a few well-placed accessories can create an unexpected sanctuary for those laundry days. The same applies to kitchens: she turns "prison" into "paradise" by showing how to reconfigure cabinets, add open shelving, and introduce statement lighting.
Beyond the practical advice, the audiobook feels like a personal conversation with a design guru. Sarah's enthusiasm is infectious; you'll find yourself humming along as she explains how to pair complementary colors or how to make a bedroom feel cozy yet sophisticated. Her Canadian charm comes through in her storytelling-she often references real-life projects and playful anecdotes that keep the tone light, even when tackling serious topics like space optimization.
The production quality is top-notch. Clear narration, occasional subtle music cues for transitions, and pauses that let you absorb key points all contribute to a smooth listening experience. Whether you're driving home or relaxing on the couch, Sarah Style fits effortlessly into your daily routine.
In short, Sarah Richardson's audiobook delivers the same "design maven extraordinaire" magic as her printed book but with added accessibility and personality. It is an essential companion for anyone looking to turn a house into a home-Sarah style-and it does so with warmth, clarity, and plenty of inspiration. If you're ready to reimagine your living spaces, this audiobook will be the guide that turns ideas into reality.
