The simple home is calm and uncluttered, with each item carefully chosen. Mark and Sally Bailey believe that good design means furniture and decoration that is useful, durable and honest. In the first part of the book, they explore calm colors, Zen-inspired simplicity, and reclaimed or ethically sourced materials. A section on comfort talks about cozy textiles and warm wood, while tips from the Natural Cleaning chapter will nurture your home.
Furniture is often multi-functional, and in the chapter, Curating Your Home, the book looks at arranging your cherished collections. The authors then turn to Simple Spaces, showing you how to create welcoming entrances, versatile cooking and eating spaces, practical work rooms with restored antiques and vintage touches, living rooms with a great mix of personal items and adaptable furniture, soothing bedrooms and tranquil bathrooms.
