More than a year ago I presented my favorite Australian stylists HERE on the blog: Mr. Jason Grant. Ever since I was amazed to see his fabulous work more and more in various interior design magazines, even here in Germany. This guy knows interior styling! Now imagine how excited and happy I was when he told me that he has just launched his first book ‘A Place Called Home’ in Australia and it is about to be published in Europe in June 2013 by his publisher Hardie Grant Books in the UK! Yay! More book love to come!
He was kind enough to send me a few exclusive pages from his brand new book that I want to share with you here. If someone asked me to describe Jason Grant’s style in one sentence, I’d say: His styling is eclectic, colourful, relaxed and above all happy. After all, Jason is an Australian guy and the spaces styled by him seem to get that magic touch of an unmistakably Australian laid-back vibe.
His book ‘A Place Called Home’ (I love the title, by the way) is a sort of scrapbook with hands-on ideas for your home and inspiring imagery by the photographer James Geer. The showed homes carry that promise of a lived-in space with lots of personality – exactly what we are looking for, right? After all, we all know that the only thing worse than an unstyled home is an over-styled one.
So, if you feel this is a book for your collection of fab interior titles, you can preorder it HERE. I am already making some place on my bookshelf for this happy book (I am also convinced by the fact that Jason and I have the same socks). Oh, and happy Friday!!

Hi Igor, loving the look of this book, and I really like ‘a home with personality’ – the feeling of a home not a museum really:)
Happy weekend – enjoy the Springtime,
Axx
Well done to Jason. Looks like a vibrant book indeed. Interesting you mention an Australian laid-back vibe Igor. Think I can pick some of that out.
I must admit… Australia isn’t the first place that comes to mind when I think about styling and interiors, so maybe Jason’s book will help rectify that 🙂
I’m pretty sure that’s the ideal book to rectify your opinion;-)
OooO thanks for the tip, I can see why you like this book, love the lived in look, so much better than show home styling. Just checked it out on amazon, where you can take a look inside the book.
Glad you like it too, Samantha! I’m preordering it!
I’m deffinitely preordering it. I have a weeakness for books like this. Love that is full of tip what and how can you do yourself to iprove the look. Thanks for the link Igor.
I’m the same like you – I always fall for such books!!
Lovely spaces indeed, I will check his book out and have a lovely Friday Igor! /maria x
This looks great! Hopefully, I can grab a copy in theUS.
Hhahaha I thought that was you in the first image with those mugs (my initials!) and nice Happy Socks. Great title indeed: A place called home. To me a homy feeling is so much more important than perfect styling. Enjoy your weekend, Igor!
I confirm!! The feeling is the most important!!!
Such a great post! Jason is a fine example of the great Aussie design talent here in Oz. Thanks for sharing your excitement about his new book Igor, it’s great to see fellow Australians making it. Sending you much Bliss Heather xx
Here’s to Aussie talent! Happy weekend from Paris, Heather!
