It is another masterclass by Ali Heath in creating soulful spaces that sing with warmth and cut their own design path.'' - Nicole Gray, Interiors Editor, YOU magazine''Ali is undoubtedly one of the best, most consistent and versatile stylists working today, and her new book Create is testimony to that.'' - Ben Kendrick: Editor, Modern Rustic; Homes and Style Director, Country Living magazine***n her third book Cocoon, interior stylist, designer and writer Ali Heath invites the reader to create a home sanctuary that focuses on the human touch, as an antidote to our fast-paced, tech-driven modern world.This way of decorating is so much more than just a look or style - it''s about taking a holistic approach that draws upon all our senses, not just the visual, and connects us more meaningfully to ourselves and our surroundings. In the past creating a sanctuary was about the decoration of a few key rooms, now it is about how the home as a whole makes us feel. Cocooning is not about isolation or shutting down and does not have to mean going off-grid - it is simply about tuning back into our emotions, creativity and curiosity to satisfy our need for shelter, comfort and wonder. Photographed in inspirational homes around the world - from small inner-city sanctuaries to spacious island retreats, Cocoon celebrates a design approach that speaks to the heart.
