Decorating the home with the aim of establishing a peaceful retreat, inspired by nature and avoiding strong colours and designs, is advised on in this guide, motivated by the idea that environment is as important to harmony and balance as food and exercise.

Quiet Pattern is an exploration of designs that deliver the gentlest of backdrops for your home, creating a peaceful sanctuary in which to retreat and recharge from everyday life. Starting with quiet pattern’s historical roots and close links to nature, we are introduced to contemporary, artisanal designers around the world, who reveal their inspirations, work and living spaces. The book also examines how quiet pattern can be used in a practical way at home, room by room. Delicate and inspiring, this is a book for everyone interested in pattern that is unobstrusive, calming and a little magical.
