House Hushing for Calm and Intentional Living
A stylish guide to art of 'house hushing' and how to dial down the visual 'noise' in your home through decluttering, curating your possessions, shopping more mindfully and decorating with calming colours. From the interior stylist, writer, and designer with over 300k followers across social media as @thedesignchaser.

"'House hushing' is a new interiors trend that's making (the right kind of) noise in these troubling times." Guardian

A beautiful, authoritative guide to the concept of house hushing, The Quiet Home incorporates design principles and strategies for dialling down the visual noise in your home, and creating serene interiors that promote calm and wellbeing. It takes a pared-down, thoughtful approach to home interiors and
explains how to create spaces that whisper rather than shout.

The Quiet Home takes as its starting point the idea that everything in an interior has a voice and creates noise. By reducing this visual noise through thoughtful design principles and strategies we can create a more serene living environment that in turn increases our wellbeing. A concept that delves deeper than aesthetic principles and how a home looks, quietening the spaces we live in can greatly affect how we feel.

The book provides insights for both creating a quiet home and adopting a more considered way of life, with chapters on Foundations, Mindful Minimalism, The Art of the Edit and Room by Room. Each chapter is accompanied by beautiful imagery that takes the reader on a global journey of inspiring homes and design. A comprehensive guide to read cover to cover, the book's chapters can also be read in any order, providing clear reference points for a range of home projects, large or small.
