Bring The Outside In

The Essential Guide to Cacti, Succulents, Planters and Terrariums

Charlotte Abrahams

Wallpaper has burst back onto the interiors scene and shows no sign of departing. Shedding its associations with faded country houses and tacky Indian restaurants, it now adorns the walls of the hippest clubs and restaurants as well as adding a touch of wit and style to our own homes. Here, Charlotte Abrahams has scoured the interior design world to create a stunning visual compendium of modern wallpapers. The core of the book is a collection of full-page reproductions of over 160 wallpapers divided into sections on pasted pictures, fabulous florals and architectural designs. The selection  -  from new young designers as well as established manufacturers  -  features a mix of contemporary and classic designs, including funky layered images, the latest visual technology and hand-painted historical scenes. An illustrated glossary provides details of the design and manufacturer of every wallpaper. In her fascinating introduction Charlotte reveals all you need to know about the creation and development of wallpaper over the last five centuries as well as its design history and the resurgence in popularity that has put it back at the forefront of interior fashion. Colourful, vibrant and dynamic, this book is a resource for designers and stylists as well as a joyful celebration of this aspect of the decorative arts.

We are bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the soil won't be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our oceans, that we should reconsider having children. 
 
But in this bold, radically hopeful book, data scientist Hannah Ritchie argues that if we zoom out, a very different picture emerges. The data shows we've made so much progress on these problems, and so fast, that we could be on track to achieve true sustainability for the first time in history. 
 
Packed with the latest research, practical guidance and enlightening graphics, this book will make you rethink almost everything you've been told about the environment, from the virtues of eating locally and living in the countryside, to the evils of overpopulation, plastic straws and palm oil. It will give you the tools to understand what works, what doesn't and what we urgently need to focus on so we can leave a sustainable planet for future generations. 
 
These problems are big. But they are solvable. We are not doomed. We can build a better future for everyone. Let's turn that opportunity into reality.

India Knight

This is partly a book about a feeling. We all know it, regardless of where we live. Home is when you open the front door and exhale. 
 
In this joyous, practical, wise and entertaining book, inspired by her phenomenally popular Substack newsletter, India Knight explores and celebrates the essence of what makes a home. 
 
Whether it is grand or modest, urban or rural, rented or owned, shared or occupied solo, her mission is to make you sigh with contentment the moment you’re through your front door. 
 
From understanding the best lightbulbs and the most flattering paint colours, or knowing what to make when you’ve asked people to dinner and have forgotten (or maybe never learned) how to cook, Home debunks intimidating ideas about ‘taste’ and celebrates the timeless importance of charm. 
 
Inspiring you to think imaginatively about how to use the things you’ve already got, advising you on what to look out for when buying a sofa, and opening your eyes to the transformative power of a well-chosen picture frame, India will steer you far, far away from trends and Instagram and helps you find, trust – and take pride in – what you like. 
 
Going from the hallway to the bedroom, via the bathroom, the kitchen, the sitting room and all the spaces in between, India shares everything she knows about how to create and find joy in every room. Along the way she shares life lessons, tips and stories of the things and people that have shaped her, and the places she has called home. 
 
So, step over the threshold and come on in.

Thoughtful Interior Design that Mixes Pattern, Colour and Style

Penny Wincer

As an interiors photographer, Penny Wincer found that walking through a stranger&rsquo;s home, listening to them explaining the history of the space, and the meaning of precious objects, was one of most joyful aspects of her work. And in Home Matters Penny does exactly that, taking us through the houses of 13 artists, designers and writers, inspiring us to reflect on how we want our own homes to feel. 
 
 Through beautiful photographs, interviews and Penny&rsquo;s own reflections on the homes that she has lived in over the years, Home Matters brings together multiple perspectives, all centred on how we create homes to meet our needs. Looking at an eclectic range of spaces that are not often included in these conversations, each chapter of Home Matters considers a different aspect of what goes into creating a home, inviting the reader to reflect on their own memories, needs and constraints. 
 
 This book is for those who want to think deeply about their homes, as well as be inspired by the beauty and joy that others have created within their own spaces. Through asking us to consider our pasts, our current needs and to examine the values we want our homes to reflect, Home Matters shows what is possible when we look within ourselves to turn a house into a home. And when we let go of the idea of the perfect home &ndash; one that can never be achieved &ndash; we can embrace the home that works for our lives as they are.

Home Matters

How Our Homes Shape Us, and We Shape Them

Nicole England

As an architecture photographer, Nicole England found that the shoots she enjoyed the most were the ones where dogs were present &ndash; nothing lightens the mood like a nonchalant pup. 
 
However imposing the architecture, some doggy hijinks can immediately bring an element of sociability and fun. With this in mind, Nicole set about setting up her Instagram, Resident Dog, and now this book, Resident Dog [Volume Two], which showcases over 25 of the world&#39;s most amazing houses, and the dogs that live there. 
 
Photographing dogs is not always straightforward, because they don&#39;t always cooperate! The result is that these images end up with a looser, more spontaneous style. Just as every home is different, so is every dog. The photographs showcase amazing architecture and capture the personality of the idiosyncratic personality of each canine. Take a wander around the world&#39;s most stunning homes, from Mexico City to Sydney, London, New York and LA, with the home pooch as your tour guide. Each home will feature several photographs, and an interview with the architect or homeowner.

Nigella Lawson

You'll also learn how to throw a party without losing your mind and what food writers really eat for lunch (mostly toast!).
