Artful Home Hardcover – 17 Sept. 2024

I’ve followed this author for some time on Instagram and was delighted to hear he was writing a book. It’s absolutely beautiful, the photography stunning, as it always is with Rizzoli. On trying to understand why I like Mr Young’s style so much, I realised that whilst his interiors are mostly neutral in design, they’re certainly not minimal. For those of us who love to see the clashing patterns and colour in traditional English design but find it too ‘noisy’ to actually live in, this is the perfect solution. A limited palette but making use of texture and light. Again, it does display the tendency in these books now to look beautiful but I would have liked a little more about the ‘how’. I’ve noticed this more and more; exquisite books but leave you to figure out yourself paint, lighting, fabrics etc. and that’s why four stars rather than five.
