Her ability to curate and display these personal treasures has created a trademark style that is loved internationally. Curate , the highly anticipated book by creative duo, Lynda Gardener and journalist and stylist Ali Heath, reveals how to create a home that is truly individual. With their shared love of a monochrome aesthetic and natural imperfections, they explore the eight Elements that bring a space to life: palette, nature, textiles, lighting, a combination of old and new, storage, collections and art. Ten aspirational homes show the style in practice, including a converted warehouse, one-bedroom studio, bijoux apartment, historic cottage, country estate, new-build barn, remote shack, period townhouse and rural retreat. With gloriously evocative photography and plenty of down-to-earth ideas, Curate will encourage the reader to embrace their individual style, dream big and create a timeless interior of their own. "Two of the most sought-after creatives, working together from opposite ends of the world, which has resulted in the most inspiring book." - Sally Bailey, Founder of Baileys Home "A must-read for all confirmed monochromist or mono-curious design aficionados, Ali and Lynda's new book confirms that an edited colour palette is everything but monotonous." - Hilary Robertson, Interior Stylist, Writer "Everyone knows that to live amongst books is a gift. Curate is one of those books you will come back to, like a time worn painting, its contents are rewarding, rich and encourage you to chase your own unique style of domestic bliss." - Megan Morton, Interior Stylist, Masterclass Instructor, Studio Owner "Every page of Curate is filled with an inspirational overload both in pictures and words.
