{"product_id":"moments-at-home-steve-cordony","title":"Moments at Home by Steve Cordony | Interior Styling Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eStyling is mostly about noticing. Where the light lands in the afternoon, which corner your eye goes to first, what a bowl of lemons does to a bare kitchen bench. Steve Cordony has built a career on exactly that kind of noticing, and \u003cstrong\u003eMoments at Home\u003c\/strong\u003e is the book where he sets it out room by room.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCordony is one of Australia's most recognisable interior stylists, editor-at-large at Belle after a stint as its interior design editor. This book moves through the house in sequence, from the entry way and kitchen to the dining room and bedroom, drawing out the styling principles that apply in each. Alongside his clients' homes it documents Rosedale, his own restored country property, which has become something of a reference point in Australian interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs this practical or just beautiful?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore practical than most books in this category. Cordony works in specifics, tablescaping, layering, how to build a vignette that reads as considered rather than cluttered, and each chapter closes with tips you can apply the same afternoon. If you like this approach, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fluxboutique.co.nz\/products\/inside-stories-by-hilary-robertson-interior-styling-book\"\u003eInside Stories\u003c\/a\u003e by Hilary Robertson covers similar ground with a slightly different eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat if my house is nothing like these?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is the usual worry with stylist-led books, and it is largely unfounded here. The properties are grand, but the lessons are about proportion, repetition and restraint, which scale down without losing anything. A single well-composed shelf follows the same rules as a formal dining table.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt gifts particularly well, because it is genuinely useful to people at very different stages, whether they are furnishing a first flat or reworking a house they have lived in for a decade. Housewarmings, Mother's Day and Christmas all suit it, and it sits comfortably in the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/fluxboutique.co.nz\/collections\/coffee-table-styling\"\u003eCoffee Table Styling collection\u003c\/a\u003e alongside our other interiors titles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy You'll Love It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoom-by-room styling guidance from one of Australia's leading interior stylists\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotography from Cordony's client projects and his own Rosedale property\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePractical tablescaping and vignette advice, not just inspiration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeas that translate to small spaces as readily as large ones\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA considered gift for anyone moving, renovating or restyling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyling the Shelf\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFittingly, this one is a styling prop in its own right. The pale, elegant cover works face-out on an open shelf or as the top of a two-book stack on a side table, with a candle and something living nearby. It suits the softer, warmer end of a neutral palette, so pair it with cream ceramics, aged brass and linen rather than anything stark. Keep one page marked with a ribbon if you are working through a room, since it is a book you will return to rather than read once.
