Curate: inspiration for an individual home : Gardener, Lynda, Heath, Ali, Hawson, Marnie Reviews

    This book is absolutely gorgeous, from the stunning photos by Marnie Hanson, to the inspirational text, Lynda and Ali have come up with an interiors masterclass in how to curate a considered home. It has certainly given me a different perspective on how I see and add to my home. It’s not gimmicky and doesn’t require you to spend a fortune, just see what you have in a new light. I would highly recommend.

    I bought this book because I loved the look of it and wanted to learn about the style. It’s a nice book, the photographs are beautiful but there’s is little variation in style, it’s all very rustic / maximalist (there’s probably a proper name for that style). So if that’s your thing this book is for you! Also some of the recommendations, hints, and tips are a bit basic (arrive at a flea market early etc.).

  • Liz Owen

    Ali Heath and Lynda Gardener have created an interiors book that literally makes my heart sing every time I read it stunning shots, beautifully written and a must have for every style hunter who ‘gets’ interiors. Their style and words will help style our homes into unique sanctuaries, rather than a soulless estate agent’s tick list! Love it, it’s been a long time since I’ve loved an interiors bible like this. thank you xxx

    An interesting coffee table tome but I found the text rather boring. I should have realised that the contents relate to a certain style of decorating and whilst I can appreciate it appeals to many, sadly it didn't do it for me.

    Loved this book So informative with lots of pretty and practical ideas. Beautifully presented. Only one critism, which doesn't detract from the book in anyway, but I found it a little one track. The author could have embraced some other options for folk who love colour splashes. It can be a little bland in suggestions of colour schemes. Overall though, a perfect read with some excellent inspiration, just overlook the ocassional twee page and suggestion!
