Home - A Unique Insight into What Our Homes Really Mean to Us (Hardcover, Export ed)

Do you believe that you can define a person by the home they live in and the possessions they surround themselves with? Do the books on their shelves and the paint on their walls give away their personality, and what would you think about someone who lived in a white, minimal space with nothing at all on display? Every home is as unique as the people that live in it, and yet the elements that go in to making a home are largely the same. In this groundbreaking new book, 50 celebrities, from entertainers and sports people, to writers and artists, explorers and chefs, fashion designers and architects, share their own personal thoughts, ideas and advice about their homes and what they mean to them. Some are people whose home is a showcase for their own work, others consider their home a secret retreat from the limelight and have never before opened their doors to the outside world. Full of fascinating detail, and unexpected, often poignant insight, this book will redefine what we expect from an interiors book. An intriguing layout, an astonishing variety of inspirational pictures, and a highly individual text results in pages packed with helpful detail and searching insight into the emotional and practical aspects of home - much of it surprising and unexpected - some of it controversial - all of it riveting.
