Chrissie Rucker - Founder @thewhitecompany'Another stunning design book! Ali Heath's books never fail to inspire me.'Leanne Ford @leannefordinteriors 'Ali Heath is not only a gifted writer, interior stylist, and mentor but also a warm-hearted woman and a cherished friend. Her sensitivity to moods, emotions, and creativity is something truly special. In her latest book, COCOON, she takes us into lived-in homes and spaces that feel deeply personal. Her style is romantic, tactile, and carefully curated, with each piece exuding a vintage charm. The blend of decor, antiques, books, art, and furniture creates a seamless narrative of a life well lived. There's not a single page where you wouldn't want to linger.' Malene Birger @malenebirgers_world 'Cosseting, cosy, sink-into spaces are on the rise and there is no better book to dive into and learn how to pull them off than Ali Heath's Cocoon: Creating Homes with Heart. It's an essential read that not only will put a smile on your face as you settle down and dig in it will awaken your senses exciting you to create visual, tactile, cosy havens that you never want to leave.' Abigail Ahern b>@abigailahern</b'Ali's desire to help us all create a sanctuary at home focuses on the importance of human connections and an awareness of our senses. Making spaces that we can connect with intuitively goes way beyond just aesthetics as these case studies illustrate so perfectly.' Kate Watson Smyth, KateWatsonSmyth.Substack.com***In her third book, Cocoon: Creating Homes with Heart, Ali Heath, invites the reader to create a home sanctuary that focuses on the human touch, as an antidote to our fast-paced, tech-driven modern world. This way of decorating is so much more than just a look or style - it's about taking a holistic approach that draws upon all our senses, not just the visual, and connects us more meaningfully to ourselves and our surroundings. In the past creating a sanctuary was about the decoration of a few key rooms, now it is about how the whole home makes us feel. Cocooning is not about isolation or shutting down and does not have to mean going off-grid - it is simply about tuning back into our emotions and creativity to satisfy our need for comfort and wonder.
