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. 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: you can start making anywhere your home right now – and it doesn't have to cost the earth. In Keeping House, Emma Blomfield shares beautifully illustrated tips on homemaking and entertaining. Learn 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, with details on everything from styling small spaces with plants to creating the perfect cheeseboard.

This is your guide to creating the life that you want in the space that you have, no matter where that may be.
