Because what if your home could be your greatest source of health? That's the question I answer, because it can, and should be.

Happy Inside by Michelle Ogundehin — the woman The Sunday Times calls an "interiors guru" — is set to become absolutely required reading in our 'Age of Anxiety'. Why? Because finally here is a book that's less about 'style' and more about substance. Because what if your home could become your greatest source of health?

"A book for creating a wellness sanctuary at home.” Sunday Times Style

In the face of globally rising rates of chronic illness and mental health issues (even before Covid-19), the creation of a supportive and restorative home has never been more important. As Michelle puts it, "I don't care how you fold your socks, but I do care how you feel."

"I love this book. Strong, clever, intelligent advice with soul." Mary Portas

Michelle lives and breathes her philosophy. She is passionate about the power of your surroundings to enhance your wellbeing. Her own home is her ultimate proof of concept, and she enjoys good health, great sleep, abundant energy and an enduringly youthful demeanour as a result of practising what she preaches.

But what do readers think? "Hi Michelle, I read your book eagerly when it first came out and really took a lot into practice. Your ideas are so far reaching. Thank you so much. My husband's picking up a huge round table tomorrow as l've had the light bulb moment that the room will finally be 'at peace' with a circle in it!! With Kindest Wishes, Fleur"

"A must-have read for anyone looking to improve not just their home but also their quality of life within it." Matthew Williamson

Mixing the knowledge gained from 20 years of editing interiors magazines and her early training as an architect, Happy Inside skilfully combines practical information with personal insight. It's an approach that makes you reconsider your relationship with your home — potentially your most powerful ally in the pursuit of good health and happiness.
