The Natural Home
‘If you love the idea of living in a relaxed environment filled with vintage finds, texture, industrial touches, old meets new and natural earthy colors you will adore The Natural Home.’ Holly Becker, Decor8 blog
Influential art director and stylist Hans Blomquist starts off by exploring the essence of his style. Firstly, Plants and Flowers celebrates the beauty of nature, botanical prints and pictures, and the cycles of the natural world. Display reveals Hans’ passion for creating vignettes that showcase treasured pieces, while Colour presents his favourite earthy palette, which provides the perfect muted backdrop for hits of brighter natural hues. In Texture, he revels in the textures and patinas of natural materials – scuffed wood, frayed rope, beaten metal and bare stone. Finally, Hans shows how to use Fabrics to bring warmth and softness to any interior. In the second part of the book, The Natural Homes, through a series of case studies, Hans explores houses and apartments that showcase the beautiful simplicity and elegance of the natural look.

The Rainbow Home
Many homes have color in them, but a rainbow home is one that uses color in a particular way. This could be a bright pop of surprising color, a room that pairs clashing colors, an intense use of pattern, or a clear rainbow effect. The overall feel is that the color is there to bring joy and to create a home that is extremely personal and unique.
Like Pinterest at your fingertips, The Rainbow Home is the go-to reference book that makes it easy to define your own rainbow style and add color anywhere in your home. Divided by area (house front and doorways, hallways and stairs, living spaces, kitchens, eating and entertaining, sleeping spaces, bath and relaxation, home offices and craft rooms, storage solutions, and outdoor space), each chapter includes:
- Lots of clever DIYs, purchasable ideas, and photographic inspiration.
- An exploration of the three distinct “types” of rainbow colors: dopamine brights (intense bold and joyful colors), playful pastels (nostalgic and sweeter chromas), and uplifting neons (electric and punchy hues).
- A deeper dive into specific colors, breaking down the benefits of each, how to choose which shade is right for you, and a color pairing guide.
- Feature profiles on notable décor personalities, taking a peek into their colorful homes and sharing their advice, including such luminaries as Evie Kemp (@eviekemp), Stasia Buckle (@stasiabuckle), Maye Ruiz (@mayeruz), Lizzy Hingham (@lizzyhigham_interiorstyling), Shareen and Martin (@happyvillageinterior), and Sisi Alfred (@homewithsisi).
A brilliant interior design coffee table book, The Rainbow Home is outstanding as a self-purchase for color enthusiasts, a housewarming present, or a handy guidebook for designers, stylists, color consultants, decorators, and creatives of all types.
Perfect for:
- Anyone interested in home décor and DIY ideas, maximalism, and design
