Product Details
Cate St Hill explains the shared principles of Scandinavian restraint and Japanese simplicity—craftsmanship, natural materials, muted palettes, and considered spatial flow—and translates them into actionable design steps. The book pairs reflective, accessible prose with curated photography that demonstrates material choices, furniture selection, and room-by-room tactics for creating emotional resonance and functional serenity. Advice covers whole‑home planning, single‑room updates, and small interventions that prioritize light, texture, and purpose.
