This Must Be the Place
In This Must Be the Place, interior designer Chloe Redmond Warner explains how to design a home with real personality, layered with color, pattern, and unexpected touches that feel unmistakably personal. Little Women on Acid . . . 1970s Sofia Coppola in Palm Beach . . . Stuart Little Goes Big . . . These are the fantasies designer Chloe Redmond Warner concocts for her clients. Now, in her debut book, Warner demonstrates how these beguilingly creative inspirations germinate into delightfully layered interiors. Though each of Warner’s interiors is aesthetically distinct from the next, the homes she features in This Must Be the Place all embrace ornament, tactile materiality, pattern play, sentimental totems, and exuberant color choices. Formally trained in architecture and known for infusing wit and charm into her designs, Warner has a singular perspective that marries strategic space planning with uniquely personal touches. The result is homes that each have their own defined feeling and serve as meaningful backdrops to all of life’s experiences—without taking themselves too seriously. With confidence and a sense of mischief, Warner infuses her interiors and this book with a poetic mash-up of effortless and refined, pretty and perfectly unexpected. In This Must Be the Place, Warner expands her design briefs, breaking down the elements—spread between art, architecture, and decoration—that, together, instill a carefully calibrated atmosphere. Each chapter opens with a “Style Guide” adapted from the mood boards she presents clients at the beginning of each project; what she calls a “sourdough starter” for the design. From there, she articulates how she coaxes her signature mix of color, pattern, materiality, ornament, light, totems, and artifacts. Warner believes that anyone can learn from her design approach and walks readers through her process step by step, while offering lots of insight and inspiration along the way. With playlists, pop-culture references, and stunning photography that perfectly showcases Warner’s personality and her aesthetic, this book is perfect for those looking to inject more creativity, fun, and color into their homes.

Could Try Harder
You just need to stay calm. You should be able to manage. You should have grown out of that by now. You could try harder. Eliza Fricker spent her adolescence being told all of these things, until her autism diagnosis as an adult revealed why she may not have met the expectations of others so easily. Equally, the world didn't seem to live up to the expectations she had of it. Following on from her earlier book Thumbsucker, this graphic memoir narrates the complexities of Eliza's teenage years through to the beginnings of adult relationships; exploring the key stages of life from secondary school to college and then work. It was only as an adult that Eliza heard autism being talked about and wondered about getting diagnosed. She met others who identified as neurodivergent. They shared similar stories and struggles, and so, with her own eventual diagnosis, she started to process her experiences and write about it. And while diagnosis doesn't bring all the answers, it has allowed her to look back on her younger self with a bit more understanding and compassion - something she now wishes for others. As more young people explore their neurodivergence, this book will encourage readers to take an empathetic look back at their experiences and honour the identity they have created for themselves, in response to their problematic experiences.
