The Romantic Minimalist: Simple Homes with Soul - Atlanta Bartlett & Dave Coote
In this timely interiors book, design duo Atlanta Bartlett and Dave Coote explore a new type of minimalism. The emphasis is on appreciating the imperfect, encouraging self-expression and never compromising on comfort.
This new minimalism has romance and nostalgia at its heart. It celebrates the plain and simple things in life; loves old, time-worn treasures; shuns materialism in favour of sustainability and creates a home to soothe the soul. The book includes stunningly photographed case studies of homes, alongside chapters on topics ranging from working with colour and textiles, to sustainability and sourcing found objects from nature.
This is the perfect manual for curating elegant and soothing living spaces.
