The third interiors book from the author of  Curate  and  Create , featuring homes in the UK, France, Spain, the US and Australia. PRAISE FOR  CREATE “COCOON is an inspiring exploration of home as a sanctuary, celebrating the beauty of spaces that nurture and provide comfort. Ali has an intuitive understanding of the meaning of home, encouraging others to live with the things they love and to celebrate their individuality.” -  Chrissie Rucker – Founder @thewhitecompany “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 @abigailahern “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 “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 "In three comprehensive sections packed with rich photography and expert advice, this practical yet inspiring guide will give you the confidence to try it yourself" -  Elle Decoration "It's clear that the spaces and wisdom featured in  Create  come from the heart. It is another masterclass by Ali Heath in creating soulful spaces that sing with warmth and cut their own design path." - Nicole Gray, Interiors Editor,  YOU  magazine "Ali is undoubtedly one of the best, most consistent and versatile stylists working today, and her new book  Create  is testimony to that." - Ben Kendrick: Editor,  Modern Rustic ; Homes and Style Director,  Country Living  magazine “ Cocoon is visually stunning, thoughtful, and soulful!! Filled with interiors and stories about the people who inhabit them, it's just the kind of book that gets me scheming and dreaming!! You'll want to read it more than once- first for all the eye candy and then again and again for its wisdom.”  - Lauren Liess @laurenliess "Ali Heath understands that true sanctuary isn't about having the right things, but about surrounding ourselves with what genuinely nourishes us. Cocoon beautifully captures this essence of intentional living through spaces that prioritize comfort, connection, and personal meaning over perfection." - Shira Gill @shiragill *** In her third book  Cocoon , interior stylist, designer and writer 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 home as a whole 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, creativity and curiosity to satisfy our need for shelter, comfort and wonder. Photographed in inspirational homes around the world - from small inner-city sanctuaries to spacious island retreats,  Cocoon  celebrates a design approach that speaks to the heart.
