Title:
Nomad at Home: Designing the home more traveled

Format: Hardcover

Overview:
Nomad at Home invites readers to reimagine interiors through a travel-fed lens. From the desk to the living room, Hilary Robertson presents a design philosophy that embraces global textures, artisanal details, and thoughtfully pared-back schemes to create spaces that feel lived-in and deeply personal. The hardcover edition showcases a curated sensibility—a balance of light-filled rooms and tactile materials—that speaks to readers who want a home that echoes journeys, memories, and the time spent in places seen or imagined. The book emphasizes the idea that a home can carry stories from faraway locales while remaining thoroughly livable in everyday life. Enhanced by photography that captures texture, color, and atmosphere, Nomad at Home offers a visually rich guide to layering materials, selecting enduring furniture, and cultivating a sense of calm amidst travel-inspired energy. With a foreword by Leanne Ford and photography by Mike Karlsson Lundgren, the book positions wanderlust as a design resource rather than a moodboard, delivering practical ideas that translate across urban apartments, country houses, and vacation retreats.

What You’ll Discover Inside:
Inside Nomad at Home, you’ll discover a thoughtful approach to bringing a worldly sensibility into ordinary living spaces. The book blends practical decorating guidance with expressive, travel-informed aesthetics, showing how to mix vintage finds with modern pieces, layer textures for depth, and use natural materials to create warmth. The photography by Mike Karlsson Lundgren translates Robertson’s concepts into tangible visuals—room layouts, palette ideas, and detail shots that readers can study and adapt. The narrative offers approachable design strategies for achieving a cohesive look across rooms, while preserving individual character in each space. You’ll also encounter design anecdotes that illuminate how small changes—sculptural lighting, curated textiles, and deliberate spatial planning—can elevate a room from ordinary to evocative. This volume serves as a portable design brief for anyone seeking to make a home feel traveled, curated, and serene, even in a busy modern life.
