Explore the emotional connection that a home can have to a person’s life with Feels Like Home from Lauren Liess, the TV and social media star and author of Habitat and Down to Earth.
A house is a feeling. That is the conceit behind designer Lauren Liess’s third book, which explores the emotional connection between the way we decorate our homes and our daily lives.
She advises readers to think beyond just the objects in their homes and explore how design informs an intentional, happy, and authentic life.
The book includes practical design information, with never-before-seen case studies on a variety of homes including a farmhouse, a home in the woods, a Spanish colonial, and other more traditional homes. Each case study explores a hardworking design aspect (such as proportion, scale, and color), while also focusing on the emotional aspect of the home.
With chapters inspired by the themes of comfort, calm, excitement, belonging, carefree, love, and contentment, Feels Like Home provides inspiration while also serving as a beautiful object itself.

Discover the stories of some of the most breathaking and historic
great houses of London, along with their secrets, in this lavishly
illustrated compedium. London has a wealth of truly stunning great
houses, seen by many as one of the marvels of English architecture,
and yet to many their histories, their interiors and their
occupants remain unknown. This book, illustrated throughout with
sumptuous photography of these breathaking residences, reveals to
us this secret world of riches and splendour. From the baroque and
imposing magnificence of 10 Downing Street, perhaps London's most
famous address, to the extraordinary Pre-Raphaelite mosaics of
Debenham House to the confident, futuristic steel and glass of the
Richard Rogers House in Chelsea, this book showcases these
properties and details their origin as well as the many
transformations they have undergone from their construction to the
present day. There are many architectural wonders, among them
Robert Adam's 20 St James's Square and William Burges's Tower
House. Several - including Bridgewater House with its Raphaels and
Titians - have held great art collections. These are houses that
hold extraordinary stories: half the Cabinet resigned after
breakfast at Stratford House; and on 4 August 1914, at 9 Carlton
House Terrace - then the German Embassy - young duty clerk Harold
Nicholson deftly substituted one declaration of war for another.
With photography by the world-famous and multi-award winning Fritz
von der Schulenburg, this title brings these houses to life in all
their grandeur, and text from historian and author James Stourton
delves into the many fascinating stories hidden behind the walls of
these homes. Great Houses of London opens the door to some of the
greatest and grandest houses in the world to tell the stories of
their owners and occupants, artists and architects, their
restoration, adaptation and change. Now available in a more compact
format.
One of two most anticipated rooms of a house (the other is the
master bathroom) is the kitchen. It's the interior space where most
value can be added during a sale and the space that most
homeowners, whether selling or not, wish to make the heart of the
home. The kitchen is not just a place where meals are created: it
is a place for fuelling the body, mind, and spirit. A space
reserved exclusively to functionality a few years ago is now one of
the most important meeting and socializing points in the house.
What was an isolated space is today a showpiece integrated into
other rooms. Here are over 100 amazing and contemporary kitchen
designs to suit all sizes, shapes, and ages of house.

Jessica RedlandCottage Two, Bracken Ridge Farm sits at the end of a
pitted track, with the glorious Yorkshire moors stretching behind
it. Just a simple two up, two down, the cottage holds the promise
of a new start for two very different women, but it is also full of
secrets. Fifty years ago, newly-wed Stella is relishing making the
little cottage a happy home. But for all the lovingly handmade
curtains, and the hot dinners ready on the table for her husband,
Stella's dreams of married life jar painfully with the truth. Fifty
years later, the cottage is a new beginning for Tamzin. Determined
to get away from her previous life, she makes the move to the wild
and vast Yorkshire countryside. When Tamzin finds a sepia photo of
a woman, Stella, standing in the cottage's garden, there's a
sadness in her eyes that Tamzin recognises. As the cottage reveals
more of its secrets, Tamzin is desperate to find out whether Stella
got her happy ending. And as she gradually makes new friends, and
starts to win over her mysterious neighbour Euan, Tamzin dares to
dream about her own happy ending too... Escape the rat race with
this heart-warming, page-turning new novel from Jane Lovering.
