From the stars of the Netflix series Get Organized with The Home Edit, here is an accessible, room-by-room guide to establishing new order in your home.
Believe this: every single space in your house has the potential to function efficiently and look great. The mishmash of summer and winter clothes in the closet? Yep. Even the dreaded junk drawer? Consider it done. And the best news: it’s not hard to do—in fact, it’s a lot of fun.
From the home organizers who made their orderly eye candy the method that everyone swears by comes Joanna and Clea’s signature approach to decluttering. The Home Edit walks you through paring down your belongings in every room, arranging them in a stunning and easy-to-find way (hello, labels!), and maintaining the system so you don’t need another do-over in six months. When you’re done, you’ll not only know exactly where to find things, but you’ll also love the way it looks.
A masterclass and look book in one, The Home Edit is filled with bright photographs and detailed tips, from placing plastic dishware in a drawer where little hands can reach to categorizing pantry items by color (there’s nothing like a little ROYGBIV to soothe the soul). Above all, it’s like having your best friends at your side to help you turn the chaos into calm.

"An interior is the natural projection of the soul." - CoCo Chanel.
In the field of design, nothing stands still forever. Cycles come
and go, reconfiguring the old to create the new. What was once
hidden is now boldly displayed. The raw materials that comprise
modern interiors have been given centre stage, handicraft is no
longer considered 'old-fashioned', but has instead become a key
instigator for design, and dark colours are back in vogue.
Materials are allowed to have patina again, bearing the signs of
their age and use. Industrial, rusted iron; brushed granite;
untreated wood...It is all coming back! The retro revival promises
to inject new energy into the design world, making pure beauty
stand out. Design blogger Irene Schampaert guides you in
discovering these exciting new trends.

About 15,000 people live permanently afloat on canals, rivers and
coasts in Great Britain alone, but thousands more enjoy holidaying
on boats or own them as weekend retreats in the UK and abroad. This
book will feature not only static residential boats and floating
dwellings but also those used as holiday homes and funky modern
businesses - houseboats can range from canal boats, riverboats,
narrow and wide beam boats, barges, Dutch barges, static houseboats
and even seaworthy cruisers moored in marina. The book will cover
stylish boats from the UK, North America, Europe and Australia. The
houseboats engage the reader through their history and owners'
stories, which are told in lively text and colourful images. People
fall in love with boats and own them for a variety of reasons: out
of affordability and necessity; a love of the water; closeness to
nature and the environment; or just because they yearn for a
different and more relaxed style of living/working space. This book
shows how houseboats can offer an attractive, practical and
alternative solution, as well as amazing and often idiosyncratic
solutions to living successfully in a small space. My cool
houseboat covers the following themes: stylish architectural, from
San Francisco to Prague; thrifty and eclectic, as an affordable
solution to conventional city dwelling; businesses, using
houseboats as unusual workspaces, from a book barge to an
allotment; modernist, from a Finnish floating office to an
Amsterdam watervilla; recycled, ranging from an Ellis Island ferry
houseboat to a converted minesweeper; and soulful, covering
alternative ways of life, relaxation and recreation, from a New
York City houseboat to a stylish Paris home. Word count: 25,000

Perfect Imperfect. Wabi-sabi and new creative interior design
expressions: Perfect Imperfect is a stunning collection of homes
and studios of creatives from all over the world, with
thought-provoking text by Karen McCartney and stunning visuals by
Sharyn Cairns and Glen Proebstel. Perfect Imperfect takes as its
founding principle the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Wabi-Sabi
advocates the beauty to be found in imperfection, impermanence and
the authentic. Importantly this is done without losing sight of the
benefits of living in the 21st century; where designers are merging
digital technology with the handmade, rethinking how to use space
and accommodating the natural world. Creating a new interior design
vocabulary: As the collaborative process for creating Perfect
Imperfect involved working across continents, the authors created a
list of words and phrases that define how to curate the work they
include in their stunning book. Their new interior design and
interior decorating vocabulary includes terms such as mutability,
irregularity, unfinished and incomplete, void, the effects of
accident, unpretentious, simplicity, contrasts, and Leonard Koren's
idea that 'beauty can be coaxed out of ugliness'. The new words and
phrases introduced by the authors define the book's visual
sections: Spirit of Nature Strange Beauty Mark of Hand Deep Shadow
Weathering & Decay And, Incomplete and Irregular A beautiful,
inspirational decorative book: Perfect Imperfect is a celebration
of accident, curation, collection, hesitation, collaboration,
reuse, reimagining and true originality. It explores an established
aesthetic in a new way and embraces current design objects
alongside well-worn ones; featuring interior settings that mix
comfort, design and an off-beat beauty.
Vivid: Style in Colour celebrates the influence of colour in the
world of interior design and our everyday lives, showing you where
to begin if your life feels like it could benefit from some new
(coloured) energy. The eight chapters (orange, red, blue, green,
pink, yellow, neutrals, and black) are built around the insights of
renowned stylist Julia Green gathered over several decades and
feature interviews from leading proponents of the art of colour
around the world, including Martyn Thomson (Sydney), Jessica
Bettenay (Melbourne), Marielle Ienna (Palermo), LRNCE (Marrakech)
and Los Enamorados (Ibiza). Short essays on the science and
psychology of colour complement the stunning interior shots by
Armelle Habib, alongside travel vignettes that tell the story of
how different palettes are interwoven into our lives. Topics like
confidence in bold or clashing colour, using colour to connect or
divide spaces, artworks, layering colour for depth and texture, and
styling for small spaces and for the seasons are discussed in
depth.
This gorgeous book will show you how to create breathtaking works
of wall art and statement home decor - all made using simple
macrame knots, natural dyes and 100 per cent recycled materials.

clearly using step-by-step photography. Learn how to use natural
dyes and how to pre-treat and dye your string. Key safety advice is

macrame, knotting from an irregular-shaped support and keeping an
even tension. The 16 projects are divided into 4 chapters: Macrame
on the wall, Macrame to hang, Macrame for indoors & outdoors,
and Macrame to decorate. The projects range from reworked classics
such as the wall hanging and the plant hanger, which have been
given a fresh, Insta-ready twist, to a wreath, bunting, hanging
bedside table, mirror hanger, rug and tassels. Each project clearly
explains which knots to use, the difficulty level, how long the
project will take, plus photographs of the steps are provided as
necessary. The projects are easy to follow, genuinely desirable
and, best of all, really simple to make!
