Blue & White at Home, Henrietta Heald
Blue and white is one of the most soothing and adaptable colour schemes, and with so many variations you can use it to transform your home.
Blue & White At Home presents 15 unique homes that illustrate the endless possibilities of this timeless palette, which can be fresh and crisp, bold and saturated, dark and moody or timeworn and faded. Author Henrietta Heald considers Coastal style, drawing inspiration from a whitewashed cabin in Spain and a spectacular modern beach house in South Africa. She then explores a Victorian house furnished with antique textiles, a prairie-style ranch in California and a light-filled cottage on Long Island. The third part of the book, Rustic, features an 18th-century English farmhouse, a Scandinavian summer retreat and a country house with over 400 years of history. Throughout the book, Henrietta also highlights particular themes, from walls and floors to fabrics and furniture, and explores ways to bring personality into your living space using collected ceramics, vintage pieces and foraged finds in every shade of blue and white.

Unleash your creativity to design a home you love – a space that is distinctly yours and works in perfect harmony with your lifestyle.

Create, Emily Henson
Creativity before consumption is about reinvention and sustainability for the sake of the planet, but also for the pure joy and satisfaction of creating a home that is truly unique.
Using her experience as a stylist and set designer, in the first part of the book Emily shows how to create homes that meet our needs yet have style, dash and personality aplenty without relying on yet more disposable ‘stuff’ for the next generation to deal with. In Gather, she shows how to establish a sense of personal style, while in Shop your Home she suggests we think twice before getting sucked into the ‘bin and buy’ cycle. Instead of ripping out a kitchen, opt for new worktops or paint the cabinets, or update a lampshade by adding a fringe or trim to spark the satisfaction of creativity and give it a second lease of life. The second part of the book visits real-life homes that display incredible creativity and reflect their owners’ needs, tastes and style.
