The Functional Home

A Practical Guide to Planning Intentional Living Spaces
by Julie Jones

Hardcover – Coming September 1, 2026

Discover how to design a home that works beautifully for the way your family actually lives. Make your home work for you!

The Functional Home delivers expert-level insight made approachable and easy to follow, without the high price tag of hiring a home design specialist. Professional designer and social media star Julie Jones (@juliejones_designs) spills all her secrets and hands you the tools to rethink your rooms, plan smart layouts, and create a home that feels both functional and inviting—no matter its size, shape, or style.

From understanding the “language” of space to mastering the flow of furniture, lighting, and décor, Julie breaks down the fundamentals of interior space planning so you can design your own rooms with confidence. She helps you see your home through a technical lens—how people move, interact, and live within a space—so every square foot works harder and smarter for you and your family.
