Create

Some of the most exciting interiors around are those that layer vintage and antique finds with select contemporary pieces. In Create, interior stylist and journalist Ali Heath encourages you to think imaginatively about how to bring together old and new at home - introducing individuality and interest, while incorporating the need to decorate more sustainably. Following on from the success of her first book Curate, Create is a visual feast divided into three engaging and informative chapters. Establishing Your Style will fire your imagination, while Adding the Magic considers various decorating elements, including pattern and texture, curiosities and collections, furniture and furnishings, art and display, and lighting. In Creative Spaces the homes of a maverick group of 10 antique dealers and interior designers are shared - offering a mix of pared-back neutral homes and more colourful spaces -,providing a fresh new take on artfully combining old and new. The book is full of insightful advice from experts and gives readers a valuable sourcebook to return to for inspiration. With glorious photography, original drawings and break-out ideas pages, Create will give you the confidence to nurture a home you love - one that celebrates the past while embracing the present and future.
