Outside Inside by Helen Ellery
Outside Inside shows how to adopt Helen Ellery's design principles to turn your home into a stylish oasis that provides respite from the relentless demands of modern living. Hip and contemporary, combining humour with comfort, Helen's signature look is inspired by the land and achieved through the use of texture, colour and witty literal references - bright green carpet 'growing' up the stairs imitating a strip of nearly mown lawn; a yellow 'rape field' rug in the sitting room; 'turf' fabric blinds in the windows. The book is packed with unique and accessible projects and easy ideas for bringing soothing elements of the outdoors inside and making seasonal alterations that allow you to ring the changes without going to the vast expense and upheaval of redecoration.
'My designs are quirky, inspirational but always liveableModern living is sometimes soulless, in and out of the home. Every time you step outside your front door you are confronted by noise and aggression. My design is about creating an invigorating yet comfortable environment to work in and to come home to. I want there to be an element of delight in my designs, for people to step in to them and say ooh! but I also want them to be at ease and want to stay' - Helen Ellery
