Natural Living Style by Selina Lake

I have been a huge fan of Selina Lake for many years, so I was delighted when her publisher, Ryland Peters & Small, kindly send me a copy of her new book “Natural Living”.

As a family we are always looking for new ways to live a greener life and this book is full of great ideas for your home and garden. There are some beautiful examples of natural materials to use in your home like natural fibres and recyclable materials.

The book is full of gorgeous homes that are bursting with ideas for creating calming, natural spaces. This year I am committed to clearing out lots and lots of our stuff and it’s wonderful to look through this book to encourage me to create joy filled space throughout our home.

Throughout the book there are lots of tips and ideas for green living, including this one about growing your own flowers and supporting local farmers rather than opting for flowers that have been flown in from abroad. This week I have been sewing seeds and bulbs in our garden inspired by this book and also the encouraging Instagram Stories from @lottsandlots.

The outdoor inspiration is the book is so, so wonderful. As we rent our house, we don’t have much freedom in the garden in terms of what we can do but this book is inspiring me to really make the most of the space that we do have in sustainable and creative ways.

“Natural Living” by Selina Lake is out now. xo
