Written by Catherine Coyle

Designers throw open their doors and invite us in for a good look around their homes in our round-up of the best new books

If antiquing is a sport then Tara Shaw is a gold-medal winner. The New Orleans-based designer is a seasoned buyer, devoting several trips each year to scouring the flea markets of Europe in her quest for gems. She also has her own brand, Maison, and has a long-established partnership with American homeware powerhouse Restoration Hardware, so she is well placed to impart her expertise on how to make your house characterful and unique using antiques. Soul of the Home features never-seen-before projects from Shaw’s portfolio, as well as top tips and anecdotes from her salvage trips. It’s gold dust for fans of flea markets and junk shops.
