You Are Home: Heritage, Authenticity, and the Beauty of Your Space
I am beyond thrilled to finally share something deeply personal with you: my debut book, You Are Home: Heritage, Authenticity, and the Beauty of Your Space, will be released on 10th April 2025!
This book has been years in the making, and I’ve poured my heart into every page. It’s a love letter to intentional living, heritage, and creating spaces that reflect who you truly are. Part memoir, part practical guide, You Are Home blends personal storytelling, cultural insights, and actionable advice to help you craft a home that is both beautiful and meaningful.
What You Are Home Is About
At its core, You Are Home is about the connection between home, identity, and belonging. Through my own experiences—from my childhood in Camden to our fixer-upper on the Kent coast—I explore the homes that have shaped me and how they influenced my understanding of space, comfort, and heritage.
This book isn’t about trends or replicating someone else’s style. Instead, it’s about uncovering your unique sense of home. Whether you’re moving into your first flat, creating a sanctuary in a rented space, or settling into your forever home, You Are Home offers practical tools and inspiration to help you create a space that feels authentically yours.
Who Is This Book For?
If you’ve ever wondered how to make your space feel personal, soulful, and intentional, this book is for you. Whether you’re:
-
Navigating your first home away from family
-
Renting and looking for ways to make a temporary space feel like home
-
Seeking a deeper connection with your surroundings
-
Wanting to blend heritage and authenticity into your interiors
Then You Are Home will guide you in shaping a home that tells your story.
A Journey of Three Years (and More!)
This book has been a labour of love. I signed with my literary agent back in the pandemic, and over a three year period, I’ve worked to bring this vision to life. The support of my publisher, Orion, and the incredible photographer Kasia Fiszer, whose work has captured my homes over the past six years, has been invaluable in shaping this book.
Many of you have noticed that I’ve stepped back from social media during this time. It’s been a transformative journey, and I’m so excited to finally share this chapter with you all!
