Product Description

Spirit of the Home is a stunningly illustrated guide to creating your own sacred space and sanctuary and discovering peace and tranquillity.

Home is a reflection of the self. It tells us, and other people, who we are. The type of home we live in, the style of the furnishings and colours, all work together to remind us of our personality, our taste, our values and interests.

Creating a soul-sustaining space, an intimate and emotional connection with our home, has become a pursuit of the 90’s. As we change our lifestyles, downshift, work at home, deal with stress, live in different communities, we look towards home as a haven for peace and tranquility.
• What does your home mean to you?
• Does every space in your home have a special mood and purpose?
• Does a healing home have to be a clean home?
• Does energy, ch’i, flow smoothly?
• Do you have good Feng Shui in your home?
• Does your home feel good, smell good, and sound good?
• Do you have a quiet corner?
• Is your bathroom your sanctuary?
• Can your home bring about change in your inner life?

I love this book, and have already seen several friends purchase it themselves. Its great for those about to do some redecorating and needing some inspiration. Unlike many books that focus on particular color schemes, or decorating styles, this book focuses more on the senses. Helping you think not just color and style, but texture, smell, natural, sound etc. Its a great book and highly recommended. It compliments other design books...

This is a fantastic book if you are interested in bringing some character into your home. It really makes you want to start stamping your own personality on the place where you live. I bought it before, when it was unillustrated but have now bought it again because the pictures make it more than twice as inspiring. Tim Goffe's photographs are sympathetic, stylish, original and occassionally quite stunning. They definitely mark him out as one of the finest architectural photographers ever to come out of Wales.

This book is the perfect therapy when you're knee high in interior design manuals and still missing something to make a house into a home. Whether it's the flowers, feng shui or just help with thinking about what you really want, something works to literally re-enchant modern living.
