Midwest Home: Interior Design in America's Heartland

Midwest Home is a richly photographed tribute to the quiet confidence and enduring charm of Midwestern interior design. Featuring 20 homes ranging from lakeside retreats to sleek city lofts, the book captures the full spectrum of style across America's heartland and celebrates how architecture responds to place, climate, and culture. Far from being derivative of coastal trends, these homes speak their own language: one of sustainability, practicality, and beauty born of restraint.
Key Features: Tells an often-overlooked story of regional design: This book brings attention to the quiet innovation and deep-rooted beauty in Midwestern residential design. Features intentional curation: The selected residences include chic urban apartments, a Craftsman-style home, a European-style villa, an updated farmhouse, and lakeside retreats—with each project reflecting a broader story about Midwestern living. Provides rare, insider access: Hainey has lived and worked in the region for over a decade, and some of the region's top designers have granted him access to spaces the public rarely sees. Showcases sustainability: The spotlighted homes display the region's commitment to craftsmanship, local materials, and sustainable design practices. With a foreword by Carl Dellatore, Midwest Home will captivate architects, designers, and lovers of regional architecture and American style as it celebrates the soulful, sustainable, and story-rich interiors from across America's heartland.
