A beautiful interiors book for anyone drawn to raw materials, characterful spaces and homes with a story. Urban Style by bestselling interiors author Sara Emslie explores the enduring appeal of industrial design and shows how reclaimed materials can bring warmth, texture and personality into modern living spaces.

From converted warehouses and former factories to loft-style apartments, retail spaces, schools and offices reimagined as homes, this hardcover book celebrates interiors that feel layered, authentic and full of character. Rather than presenting industrial style as cold or stark, Urban Style reveals its softer, more liveable side: exposed brickwork, metal roof trusses, copper piping, reclaimed timber, vintage furniture, concrete, patina, oversized windows, open-plan layouts and carefully chosen decorative details that balance strength with comfort. Sara Emslie investigates the practicalities of transforming non-residential buildings into homes, while also showing how the industrial look can be interpreted in more everyday spaces. The book features twelve inspiring real-life homes, each showcasing a different expression of the Urban Style look. Pair it with our Small Space Style by Sara Emslie for practical compact-home inspiration, or gift it alongside Wabi-Sabi Home by Mark and Sally Bailey for someone who loves patina, imperfection and soulful living spaces.
