“In Live Natural, Ali Davin puts functionality before aesthetics, one actionable tip at a time. This book is for anyone who’s ready to make a change in how they inhabit the world.” —Colleen & Jason Wachob, Co-Founders, mindbodygreen
Known for comfortably chic interiors that blend natural materials, nontoxic building, and artisanal techniques, California designer Alison Davin creates warm, welcoming spaces with an emphasis on wellness. Always mindful of limiting waste, her homes are made to last a lifetime.
While existing books approach this topic from either a highly technical or scrappy DIY perspective, Live Natural carves out a unique space in the coffee-table book marketplace, pairing beautifully photographed high-end homes with a clear point of view on wellness and environmental responsibility. Shot by the renowned photographer Lisa Romerein, the inspirational visuals of warm, aesthetically pleasing living spaces bathed in natural light will draw the reader in and pair with a clean, image-forward layout. This book creates a safe, welcoming space to receive ideas, challenging “the way things have always been done” in construction and design. Filled with accessible, actionable tips and delivered in an approachable tone, Live Natural empowers readers to advocate for themselves at home and in the world.
Packed with insightful tips and illustrated with inspiring photographs from clients’ residences, Live Natural details how to craft a purposefully designed space with clean air quality and a lower environmental impact. This book will help readers harness light, space, and natural elements to design a clean, comfortable home they will love.
More Accolades
“California design pro Ali Davin offers useful, from-the-trenches advice on how to create a healthy, toxin-free home—and natural style inspiration to boot” —The editors of Remodelista
“What I’ve always loved about Ali’s work is how layered it is. At first glance, it’s low-key and approachable, but when you look closer, it’s filled with rich character and detail. She has channelled that approach into this book—on the surface, it’s a bunch of beautiful photos, but the health-focused content goes so much deeper.” —Kelli Lamb, Editor, Rue
