Artful and inspirational, this delightful guide to home decorating offers a gentle nudge to those of us struggling to pull together an interior design scheme for our homes. In it, home décor and magazine stylist Tahn Scoon, shows us how to look at our possessions and space anew, and rekindle a love for all that is old, faded and well-worn, with imperfections evident. Her philosophy marries new and old with natural materials, textures and tones, to create a style that offers layers of comfort and familiarity with practicality and a strong sense of individuality.

If your budget is meagre or without restraint, there are treatments here for floors, walls and windows that will help you plan anew, and for those with practical skills there are projects to breathe new life into furniture and soft furnishings. Floral art brings color, scent and texture into the home, breathing life into every area: learn how with Tahn’s simple instructions.
