Katherine Sorrell Book order (chronological)

For most of us, decorating is not about taking an empty room and filling it with all-new co-ordinated furnishings, nor is it a case of inheriting matching sets of priceless antiques. Usually, we're somewhere in the middle--a couple of hand-me-downs here, some big-box items there, plus a few antique or vintage or simply secondhand pieces thrown into the mix. In Everyday Antiques Katherine Sorrell shows how to harmoniously combine these unexpected and individual older pieces with new ones to make your home sing--an old portrait that was a lucky fleamarket find, perhaps, a set of 1960s glassware found at a thrift store, or an ornate gilt-framed mirror that belonged to your grandma. Incorporating such gems into your home has never been easier, thanks to online marketplaces such as eBay and the plethora of antiques dealers popping up on Instagram. Spotting unusual pieces is not only fun and satisfying but, even better, you won't see them anywhere else.

Tackling the tricky--and common--problem of combining furnishings of different styles and from various sources and periods, The vintage modern home demonstrates how to make the most of what you have in an achievable yet stylish way. Whether your furniture and accessories are prized antiques, second-hand discoveries or high-street pieces, this indispensable book describes how to bring together old and new, inexpensive and precious with both subtlety and flair.

Modern Comfort is a sourcebook of contemporary decorating that promises a new modernity in which comfort is to the fore. From wall and floor coverings, to furniture, fabrics, lighting and storage, it highlights a range of design ideas for every room, with the emphasis on creating a home that is in tune with the way we live today. A streamlined modern aesthetic is apparent in the emphasis on the clean shapes of furniture, well thought-out storage, understated color schemes and a consistency of materials throughout a space. But, while there are stainless-steel worktops, tiled walls and glass panels, comfort is ever present too-the natural tone of wood and sisal, seating that is plump and inviting, cozy wool blankets and soft, textured linens. It is this combination of cool with a softened edge that creates that look and signals a less rigorous more realistic style of interior. Adaptability and ease are essential ingredients. These are spaces that are attractive but also practical, and very much for living in.
