MUCH

Overview

An inspirational guide to maximalist decor that encourages readers to tap into their inner-creative and develop their own unique style.

Artist, designer and interior stylist Evie Kemp has found increasingly over the years that people want to create a home they love, but are frozen and at times intimidated by rules and trends, generally feeling that they don't possess the skills or confidence to truly express themselves within their own spaces.

Evie's wish, through the pages of this inspiring, vibrant book is to allow everyone to explore their own sense of 'home' and to find confidence to create the space they've always desired. Her opinion is that all homes should tell a story, and Much reminds us of the stories we all have to tell—it provides advice, inspiration and guidance to encourage us to create our own story.

Alongside an abundance of self-discovery is practical advice for how to create a layered and maximalist home in your own space. From installing a fool-proof gallery wall, to tips for sourcing second-hand, a masterclass on pattern mixing, paint picking, room layout and more. Much is not a 'how-to' guide for a prescriptive style, instead it's filled to the brim with Evie's own take on maximalism, and illustrates her way of helping you discover your own unique style to create a home that is entirely for you.
