His distinctive voice-funny, confessional, and honest-has made him the Dan Savage of millennial homemaking.

He helps readers problem solve, avoid rookie mistakes, and choose a wall color that won't make them puke.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Get It Together!: An Interior Designer's Guide to Creating Your Best Life, is Orlando's ode to decorating with humor and lightness. Every page has some sort of doodle or funny bit that makes you realize that design can be a heck of a lot of fun." -Design*Sponge
"This is not your average interior design tome. Are there plenty of well-decorated rooms and lush, inviting photos? Of course. But Orlando Soria's distinctive voice-funny, confessional and brutally honest-is what sets this apart." -Valet.
"This is honestly one of the best books I've read in a while...Most of my design books sit in piles on my coffee table and in corners of my apartment. They're more decorative than anything. I love to flip through them but rarely actually read them. This one, you'll want to read. Maybe multiple times. It's the best." -Grace Atwood, The Stripe
"Written by interior designer Orlando Soria, Get it Together! An Interior Designer's Guide to Creating Your Best Life offers more than just tips on how to design your dream home or how to throw a dinner party on a dime. Soria, whom you may also recognize from HGTV, creates an enjoyable and relatable life guide that addresses serious topics like losing a job or living on your own for the first time." -Metrosource
