Does your home help you feel nurtured, inspired, creative and safe? If not, would you like it to?

The New Mindful Home offers a refreshing take on the topic of wellness, highlighting the myriad ways we can use our homes to help us explore how we want to feel.

Digging deep beyond aesthetics alone, and tapping into wisdom from neuroscience alongside my own experiences of over a decade spent working as an interiors stylist and writer, this comprehensive book pairs my trademark highly practical, actionable advice with stunning inspirational imagery and tons of takeaway tips.

Broken down into chapters and peppered throughout with expert advice and scientific findings, each page - similar to my previous book, My Bedroom is an Office - acts as a standalone spread offering advice on a single issue, from how to shop responsibly when redecorating to ways you can use aspects of minimalism or Feng Shui work in a busy family home. And yes, there’s also a spread on setting up a dedicated space at home to practice mindfulness meditation (and how to adapt this if you’re having to hot-desk this element, too).

With each chapter rounded off with a how-to spread to try for yourself, from creating a toxin-free DIY cleaning kit to craft techniques you can try to boost your meditative ‘flow' state, there’s also a meaty resources section to help you action much of the advice.

  • “A no-nonsense guide to cutting through the fads to offer practical solutions to home-based problems. A book for those who want to consider more carefully how they live without too much of the woo woo that can sometimes crop up in the well-being space, especially when we use words like mindfulness. Instead it touches on everything from making natural dyes and cruelty-free decorating to clean living, craft, and creativity.”

  • “Joanna explores ways to live more thoughtfully and sustainably, using colour, well- planned room layouts and natural elements - perfect if you're longing to create a calm, considered environment."

    ⚫︎ House Beautiful magazine ⚫︎

  • “A real little treasure that would be in danger of going under the radar so I’m really happy to bring this to everyone’s attention... Joanna’s writing is excellent and she’s extremely knowledgable, there’s loads of science, it’s well researched... I’ve not wanted to put it down since I’ve had it."

    ⚫︎ Sophie Robinson, Interior Designer and co-host of The Great Indoors podcast ⚫︎

  • “Every chapter is an adventure, even for those already closely attuned to Mindfulness. "Creating a Sanctuary", for example, introduces the unique personality type concept of OCEAN (open, conscientious, extrovert, agreeable, neurotic), whereas "Becoming Biophilic" centres on the natural world, exploring living shapes and visually softening technology. Advice we need (and can use)."

  • “Lush photos will inspire readers to create their own carefully arranged homes, and useful tips are sprinkled throughout... those interested in creating a calming space should give this a look."

    ⚫︎ Publisher’s Weekly ⚫︎

  • “For living spaces that both calm and revive in these turbulent times, The New Mindful Home offers practical informative and inspiring advice to do just that. Author Joanna Thornhill explores the mindful effects of colour, supportive room layouts and the power of positive affirmations to help you transform your home in the best way for you."
