An inspirational guide to home decorating with the perennially popular elements of a neutral palette, natural ingredients and a carefully curated mix of vintage and modern pieces - from influential stylist and decorator, Lynda Gardener and interiors writer and stylist, Ali Heath

***



"This gorgeous book marries inspirational ideas with real interiors, to help you curate a home that reflects your personal story and style." Kate Watson-Smyth of Mad About The House

"Helpfully divided into eight key elements that bring a space to life, this beautifully photographed book by Australian interior designer Gardener and journalist Heath, makes the perfect accompaniment to a house refresh." Elle Decoration

"A paradise for the curious, Lynda and Ali present an interior perspective so cosy that you already feel you live there. Textural spaces cleansed in monochromatic hues - with ideas that invite your imagination to consider home and collections in a new light." Martyn Thompson - Designer, Photographer, Creative Director

Doyenne of the unique and decorative, Australian interior stylist and boutique hotelier, Lynda Gardener, is always on the hunt for finds to enhance her homes and decorating projects. Her ability to curate and display these personal treasures has created a trademark style that is loved internationally.

Curate, the highly anticipated book by creative duo, Lynda Gardener and journalist and stylist Ali Heath, reveals how to create a home that is truly individual. With their shared love of a monochrome aesthetic and natural imperfections, they explore the eight Elements that bring a space to life: palette, nature, textiles, lighting, a combination of old and new, storage, collections and art. Ten aspirational homes show the style in practice, including a converted warehouse, one-bedroom studio, bijoux apartment, historic cottage, country estate, new-build barn, remote shack, period townhouse and rural retreat.

With gloriously evocative photography and plenty of down-to-earth ideas, 
Curate will encourage the reader to embrace their individual style, dream big and create a timeless interior of their own.

"Two of the most sought-after creatives, working together from opposite ends of the world, which has resulted in the most inspiring book." - Sally Bailey, Founder of Baileys Home

"A must-read for all confirmed monochromist or mono-curious design aficionados, Ali and Lynda's new book confirms that an edited colour palette is everything but monotonous." - Hilary Robertson, Interior Stylist, Writer

"Everyone knows that to live amongst books is a gift.
Curate is one of those books you will come back to, like a time worn painting, its contents are rewarding, rich and encourage you to chase your own unique style of domestic bliss." - Megan Morton, Interior Stylist, Masterclass Instructor, Studio Owner

"Every page of
Curate is filled with an inspirational overload both in pictures and words. Working with texture, layers, colour and special personal touches it is a pure feast for the eyes." - Hans Blomquist, Author, stylist, art director

"The beautiful interiors captured in
Curate are layered with a sense of nostalgia and nurture. This is what makes a house a home." - Sibella Court, Author, stylist, shopkeeper

"What a joy this book is to flip through and let sink in. At once inspirational and, yet, still approachable, Ali’s beautiful words and Lynda’s gorgeous styling come together to create the sort of worlds you want to dive right into and live in forever." - Lindsey Bro, Writer, Creative, Founder @cabinlove

"When two incredibly talented creatives Ali and Lynda, combine their talents and produce the most inspiring book full of texture, layers and most of all homes full of soul. So beautifully written and photographed giving us all a must have book that we will continually refer to and thoroughly enjoy." - 
Kate Abt @kateabtdesign

AMAZING decor ideas!
5 out of 5 stars
AMAZING decor ideas!
I normally do not spend this kind of $ on a book for decorating ideas! But, I had a gift card so why not. Lol. I read reviews & all those who gave a bad review must have for whatever reason decided to purchase a book that did not relate to their decorating style in any way at all is all I can think?? So it's their own fault they didn't like it. Lol, just my opinion. This is 100% my decor style so I LOVED every page. Makes sence, why would ya buy something that isn't your style?? If you like, clean, classic, boho, vintage, natural decor, BUY THIS BOOK!!!! It's so wonderful. I got lots of ideas. So glad I got it. If I had to say a single bad thing it would be that the book pages on the bottom right corner were a smidge crinkled like it had been dropped on that corner lightly maybe??? No one will ever notice tho so 5 stars!!!!! BUY THE BOOK :)
Thank you for your feedback

    This book shows the author's various residences she has restored and curated over her lifetime.
    If you like Boho, vintage, monochrome decor, you will love it. She tells her story throught her decor and it is compelling to see the beautiful vintage and antique finds she has collected over the years. Nice book.

    Loved this book
    So informative with lots of pretty and practical ideas. Beautifully presented. Only one critism, which doesn't detract from the book in anyway, but I found it a little one track. The author could have embraced some other options for folk who love colour splashes. It can be a little bland in suggestions of colour schemes. Overall though, a perfect read with some excellent inspiration, just overlook the ocassional twee page and suggestion!
