Homes for Living

Home should be a place where we can truly be ourselves, a place of safety and refuge from external pressures. It reflects our individuality and authenticity in every corner, and shows the effects of a life well-lived: doorknobs shiny with use; tabletops bearing the faint scars of watermarks; a sofa slightly sagging in the middle from evenings spent lounging.

Through Piglet in Bed's six guiding principles, you can build a home for intentional living: a space to rest, wallow and retreat. Sections include odes, essays, and recipes by chef and author Sophie Wyburd. Discover:

- Tips for the messy host
- The ultimate chicken pie
- How to be completely useless to everybody: take a long bath
- How to create a great tablescape
- The lost art of picnicking

With a chapter dedicated to each room in the house, Homes for Living will equip you with simple tips and tricks to create a home that celebrates the imperfections of our lives and enables you to express yourself in a low maintenance, sustainable way.

About Piglet in Bed

They create timeless bedding, sleepwear and homewares from natural fabrics like linen and cotton, designed to be lived in and loved. With mix-and-match colours and heritage-inspired patterns, they help you create a home that reflects who you are, beautifully, naturally, and always made for living.
