About the Author
*to read a series of blog and press reviews on Home for Now, please visit www.joannathornhill.co.uk/home-for-now-book*
A freelance interiors stylist and writer from London, Joanna's work spans across editorial (magazines) and commercial (anyone else!) clients, across print and online media, events, broadcast and consultancy. Whether producing photoshoots, writing articles or compiling shopping pages, her accessible approach to interiors and love of colour and pattern is evidenced throughout her work. A passion for craft and DIY means she is always working on new projects, whether for clients or her own home.
Her first book, Home For Now, comes as a response to a lack of media geared towards the ever-increasing Generation Rent who, along with first-time buyers who have invariably spent all their cash on a steep deposit, find themselves looking for thrifty, creative and out-of-the-box decorating ideas, without doing anything to upset their landlord or risk their investment. Packed with styling ideas and simple makes, it proves an invaluable read for anyone looking to set up a new home.
To learn more about her work, her website can be viewed at www.joannathornhill.co.uk, or for more personal insights, her blog, www.stylistsownblog.wordpress.com, chronicles designers and events that catch her eye, along with an account of the shoestring renovation of her first home-for-now, a "ramshackle" terrace in north-east London
