In CREATE, the highly anticipated new book by Ali Heath, she encourages you to think imaginatively about how to bring together old and new at home. Whilst giving you the confidence to let go of perfection, live the life you imagine, and to create freely in your own unique, more sustainable way.
Featuring the homes of interior designers, creative business owners and international tastemakers, including Alex Legendre, Anna Unwin, Anton & K, Alex Legendre, Bee Osborn, Coombs Hill, Clarence & Graves, Ecoco, edit.58, Malene Birger, Matthew Cox and Marianne Evennou - each space reveals how the owners unique creative paths have influenced their mix of old and new.
Filled with stunning imagery that ranges from calm, whitewashed spaces to more earthy and colourful interiors, this book will act as a guide that you will want to keep returning to.
“Ali has an exceptional eye for interiors, coupled with a diverse set of unusual skills. She manages to source and discover exceptional houses, with a unique combination of style, warmth, accessibility, and photogenic qualities.”
Ali also has a rare gift for art directing and styling a photo shoot, finding the best photographers to bring a great story to fruition - mixed with the unusual combination of being able to write beautifully too. She is undoubtedly one of the best, most consistent and versatile stylists working today, and her new book CREATE is testimony to that.

“Ali has an incredible eye for beautiful interiors that are full of elegance and interest, but still also homely, heartfelt, and personal.”
In CREATE, she shares how to style spaces that somehow make life feel that bit more gorgeous, whether that's by finding your perfect colour palette, displaying treasures and vintage finds, or arranging furniture. And the pages are full of beautiful, real home case studies for ideas and inspiration.

The beautifully curated, styled, photographed, illustrated (how lovely to see) and written homes, all provide a gentle 'nudge', as Ali writes, into creating our own unique spaces. But they are only part of this inspiring journey, with Ali's expertise in mixing old with new, combining colour palettes, working with textures, building collections, and appreciating the crafted, giving that extra style support and confidence needed to create a unique home that just says 'you'.
It is another masterclass by Ali Heath in creating soulful
spaces that sing with warmth and cut their own design path.
