Elevate Your Home with Emma Blomfield's Best-Selling Design Guides.
Your guides to crafting beautiful spaces.
First published in 2017, Emma’s initial book HOME: The Elements of Decorating was an instant best-seller and went into its second print edition before the official release date.
HOME details Emma’s five step decorating formula and shows you how to apply them to each room in the house. Emma’s second book, Keeping House was published in 2019 with a focus on styling and entertaining.
Each book is illustrated with watercolour or cartoon style images to portray the books contents. They make a great addition to any coffee table!
Why Illustrations?
I opted to forgo using photographic images to accompany the text in my books, instead I collaborated with an illustrator to include sketch imagery to work back with the book content.
The idea behind the illustrations was so that the reader wasn’t caught up in trying to replicate the exact same look as the photo in their home and expanding on their creative talents to try out new and exciting ways to put their home together.
The illustrations provide a great colour palette jumping off point and gently guide you in the right direction by encouraging you to have fun with the process.
Each book is sprinkled with beautiful illustrations of styled vignettes, bedroom schemes, living room spaces and common floor plan layouts to help you visualise your home’s furniture layout.

kind words about my books
Keeping House.
Creating Spaces for Sanctuary and Celebration
We all desire a space that feels authentically our own: somewhere we can curl up with a cup of tea or host a dinner party for our nearest and dearest. But many of us treat our living situations as temporary. Homemaking is something we will do ‘one day’—perhaps when we are no longer renting, when we have a larger budget, or when the kids are a bit older. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Keeping House shows how you can start making the most of what you’ve got right now—and that it doesn’t have to cost the earth. I share my tips on how to style and maintain every room in your house to achieve a state of meaningful living, and to decorate and connect with guests through beautiful events.
This is your guide to creating the life that you want in the space that you have, no matter where that may be.
Currently out of print, available as a Kindle Book on Amazon.

The Elements of Decorating
Home: The Elements of Decorating sold out before it even hit shelves at it’s launch in March 2017 and has been reprinted three times to keep up with demand.
Through helpful illustrations, Emma demystifies the five elements of decorating—needs and wants, colour and pattern, shape and size, placement, and lighting—and shows how easy it can be to apply them to each room in your house.
Whether you’re refreshing your look, moving in, organising your home office, decorating a nursery or creating an outdoor oasis, Emma’s tried-and-tested advice will inspire and guide you.
Currently out of print with limited availability.
