'A Home is Never Done' advocates allowing your space to evolve gradually so it is an ever-changing expression of your tastes and interests.

'Signs of Life' offers ideas for wrangling papers, clutter and other stuff. 'Creative Clutter' tackles collections and displays, while 'Break the Rules' rejects style diktats and shows how individuality can bring a home to life. The second section, 'People Live Here', visits real-life homes that may not be Instagram perfect yet display incredible style and creativity and reflect their owners&; needs, tastes, and style. And throughout the book, quick fixes, DIY makes and 'Every Home Should Have' boxes offer creative solutions with unique results.
