My first book, The Soft Minimalist Home, introduces a relaxed, liveable approach to minimalist decor, dispelling the myth that it’s stark and soulless.

As well as sharing helpful advice on colour, texture, lighting and more, I explore 15 inspiring homes across the UK and Europe, showing how a diverse range of people have crafted pared-back spaces that are warm, welcoming and as individual as they are. There are homes large and small, new and old, urban and rural, rented and owned – homes for families, single people and couples. Together, they demonstrate that minimalist interiors can be cosy, full of character and attainable for all, no matter what your budget or where you live.
