The much-anticipated follow-up to the highly successful Curate  provides decorating inspiration for homes that beautifully combine both the modern and the antique.
 
Some of the most exciting interiors around are those that combine vintage and antique finds with select contemporary pieces. In Create , interior stylist and journalist Ali Heath encourages you to think imaginatively about how to use old and new at home - introducing individuality and interest, while incorporating the need to decorate more sustainably.
 
Following on the success of her first book Curate , Create is a visual feast divided into four engaging and informative chapters. Establishing Your Style will fire your imagination, while Adding the Magic considers ten decorating elements, including pattern and texture, display, lighting, and color. In Creative Spaces the homes of a maverick group of 12 antique dealers and interior designers are shared, and the book closes with Inspirations - advice on where to buy period items and how to buy online and at auction. With glorious photography, original drawings and break-out ideas pages, Create will give you the confidence to nurture a home you love - one that celebrates the past while embracing the present and future.
