Our homes should be a place where we can explore and share our individuality , be imaginative or inventive . And Sara is on a mission to help us do that in the most sustainable way possible . “ Having a home in which we can be ourselves is a comfort ,” she says . “ It ’ s about familiar things , cross-generational belongings or considered buys that bring contentment .” The first part of the book is an interiors guide , with tips on palettes and fabrics , lighting and texture . The second part explores a diverse selection of homes whose owners are bringing these concepts to life . Together they inspire a more considered approach to creating a beautiful , soulful home .
Home for the Soul by Sara Bird and Dan Duchars of The CONTENTed Nest , published by Ryland Peters & Small , £ 19.99
