'Lucy is one of the most talented stylists I have ever had the privilege to meet. She creates beautiful and imaginative spaces that I want to live in and is always so generous with her knowledge and inspiration. This book will be an invaluable learning tool as well as a treasure for years to come.'

Kate Watson-Smyth, @mad_about_the_house

'Chock-full of helpful, smart and stylish ideas, clearly presented and wrapped up with gorgeous photography and beautiful spaces.'

Suzanne Imre

'What a wonderful book! Lucy is thoroughly inspiring and has that enviable gift of being able to explain her ideas brilliantly to people who are not as confident as her at design and colour. Lucy has such a natural sense of style and she uses colour in a way that creates such harmonious interiors. This book makes interior design accessible to the uninitiated.'

Annie Sloan

'Have you ever wondered how to ensure a cohesive feel throughout your home or how to style a neutral interior? Lucy Gough's new book answers these questions - along with the more common dilemmas of choosing art and successfully combining clashing patterns. And, while creating a home that you adore can feel like a daunting task, Lucy breaks it down so it feels less overwhelming ... The homes showcased here are aspirational, characterful and utterly dreamy.' Homes & Antiques

We all want to live in a home that reflects our personalities and experiences. But if we are not professional decorators or stylists, where do we start? In this inspirational and helpful handbook, interiors stylist and tutor Lucy Gough will teach you how to understand your true style and how to implement it as you decorate your living space. Your dream home needn't be a spacious, architecturally designed building - it could be small or rented - and with this book, you'll discover what you love so you can surround yourself with the colours, furniture, furnishings, and finishing touches that inspire you.

The book includes:

  • How to create and use a moodboard.
  • How to translate magazine imagery into your home.
  • How to create impact with art, plants, and accessories.
  • How to style your kitchen, living room, bathroom, home office, and hallway.
  • Key inspirational case studies - explaining how and why they work so well.
