New Zealand homes have a look all of their own, and this is the book that captures it. Our Spaces: Contemporary New Zealand Interiors takes you room by room through some of the country's most stylish and inspiring homes, spaces that are relaxed yet refined, modest yet modern.

Written by Alana Broadhead, founder of the influential design journal The New, with over 400 beautiful interior images by NZ photographer Michelle Weir, this is both a sourcebook and a love letter to the way we live here. Each chapter moves through the home, from Bedroom to Bathroom and Laundry, Kitchen, Living and Dining, Kids' Spaces, Workspace and Moments, pairing aspirational photography with hundreds of practical ideas and insights you can pull from each space into your own.

This is the rare interiors book that asks not only what makes a space beautiful, but what makes it meaningful, a philosophy we hold close across our entire decor collection. And it is a beautiful object in its own right. The linen-bound hardcover with debossed detail is made to be displayed, whether stacked on an ottoman, layered into a shelfscape or sitting proudly on the coffee table alongside favourites from our books collection.

Styling Tips

  • Let the linen cover do the work: display it face-up on a coffee table with a single object on top, like a small bowl or sculptural form
  • Stack it as the generous base layer under two smaller books for a classic graduated book stack
  • Lean it face-out on open shelving against a neutral wall so the tactile cover becomes part of the vignette
  • Keep it on the bedside table or in a reading nook as a slow-evening flick-through rather than a one-time read

Readers who enjoy this often go on to Remodelista.
