The Natural Home is a place where natural materials and motifs are the key elements of a decorating style that is a joy to live with and a joy to behold. Influential art director and stylist Hans Blomquist starts off by exploring the essence of his style. In Texture, he revels in the textures and patinas of natural materials. Still Life reveals Hans' passion for creating displays that showcase treasured pieces, while Plants and Flowers celebrates the beauty of nature and the cycles of the natural world. Colour presents his favourite earthy, natural colour palette, which provides the perfect backdrop for hits of brighter natural hues. In the second part of the book, Homes, through a series of case studies, Hans explores houses and apartments that showcase the beautiful simplicity and elegance of the natural look.

Review
"Hans is a stylist after my own heart, giving rooms a very casual lived-in touch with heart. Nothing in his new book looks overly styled or fussed with and I admire that. If you love the idea of living naturally in a relaxed environment filled with vintage finds, texture, industrial touches, old meets new and natural earthy colors you will adore The Natural Home. It s stunning and a current fave of mine!" --Holly Becker - decor8blog.com

A stunning publication,overflowing from cover to cover with beautiful,thoughtful and imaginative photographs,in part showing off the homes of a variety of homeowners also having experience of aesthetics,whilst living and working in connected artistic worlds.The front cover gives a very representative sense of the whole book particularly regarding a most personal and subtle colour palette,The book shows a whole range of fabulously crumbling surfaces of chalky shades of whites, earthy grey/browns spread over walls and furniture,mixed natural textures of wood,exposed stone,distressed wallcoverings,furnishings and elements of vintage. The images have the ability to draw the viewer into the rooms enjoying the ever unravelling detail,and their elegant simplicity.
The first section of the book gives both visual and written ideas on display,colour/effects,
integrating foliage and objects,texture and textiles.There are numerous photographed examples of groupings of objects/memorabilia which the stylist Hans Blomquist has a special talent assembling in old boxes etc,delightful works of art.This skill is also echoed through the interiors of the private home case histories.Personal favourites are from pages 142 - 153, but infact the whole book is divine so much so I have looked in every day since my purchase!! It has a quiet beauty which I find irresistible. Inspirational. The photographs appear to be bathed in a soft velvety natural light.
I have the impression that Hans Blomquist, and the photographer Debi Treloar alongwith the homeowners had an excellent rapport to compile such a successful book.
Possibly some will consider this to be a"coffee table" book! I always have had reservations that books categorized this way are not read or given serious consideration. This is a book to
to give credence.
I have already purchased another copy as a gift, I imagine it won't be the last!!
Thanks for reading

This isn't a rewiew as such. This book has to be the most wonderful book on this subject I have ever seen or read.
I felt at long last here are some people I understand. I have had it for only a few days, but keep stopping to look at it and read it. The photographs are truly beautiful. I feel I have found some souls mates. The homes are not everyones cup of tea, but keep looking the beauty and soul of home, and occupants ooze out at you. Thank you so very much
