A look at my new book!
After more than a year in the making, I’m thrilled to share with you a look into my new book, Style: The Art of Creating a Beautiful Home.
It’s a book that shares all of the knowledge that I’ve learnt from working in the interiors industry over more than a decade, and how you can transform your home using what you own and love when you know how. While designing (and renovations!) can be a big investment, styling is knowing how to elevate your spaces with what you’ve already got. It’s also the finishing touch that brings everything together so that your place feels like a home.
And while, yes, it’s a book about creating beautiful interiors, it’s also quite a personal book, too.
Style is a simple way of saying complicated things — Jean Cocteau.
As I write in the book:
‘Style is at the heart of who we are.
It’s our story in visual form: a physical expression of how we feel.
And it’s what we choose to prioritise in our homes and lives.’
Our homes are how we can connect with who we are, and how we want to express ourselves, and share our story. Styling is how we can do this.
This book is also an invitation for you to see your home with fresh eyes, and as a way to connect with your creativity. It is an essential part of what it means to be human. It is how we express ourselves, and welcome others into our world.
‘The key to creating magic is knowing that you already have it; you just need to learn how to use it.’
The book is both beautiful and practical, and I pull back the curtain on the process of styling any space — from a beach shack to an architect-designed home. Styling is a both an art and science that you can learn. You will also finally get a better understanding of your own personal style, as well as gain insights on how to transform every room in your home.
In many ways, I see this book as the third part of a trilogy about how we can create beautiful and authentic interiors that enhance our lives.
Book #1 — This is Home: The Art of Simple Living focuses on the 10 key ingredients that make a home.
Book #2 — Still: The Slow Home is about the important and necessary sustainable choices we can make in our home.
Book #3 — Style: The Art of Creating a Beautiful Home is how you can transform your home using what you own and love.
The book was once again beautifully shot by photographer Chris Warnes and it was quite a challenge to create during a global pandemic.
I hope you love it as much as I do, and treasure it for many years to come.
