The Detail
Decorating with Plants, styling a home around living things
Satoshi Kawamoto walks you through every room in the house and shows how to bring plants into each one. This is a styling book rather than a care manual: how plants sit in a space, what they do to a room, and how to compose with them.
Key Features
- A room-by-room guide to bringing plants indoors.
- Works with succulents, indoor plants, dried and preserved flowers, and even driftwood.
- Ideas for styling rooms around plants rather than treating them as an afterthought.
- Includes decorating for seasonal and occasional celebrations.
- 112-page illustrated hardcover.
Pure Standard
- Publisher surplus, rescued rather than pulped. These are overprint copies that would otherwise have been destroyed. Keeping a perfectly good book in circulation is the reason we stock it.
- From a stylist, not a horticulturalist. Satoshi Kawamoto is a garden stylist with shops in Tokyo and New York, and the book is about composition and placement rather than watering schedules.
- Out of print. It is no longer in general circulation in Australia, so the copies that exist are the copies that exist.
- Paper and board throughout. No plastic jacket, no shrink wrap, nothing to peel off and bin.
- Honest about condition. Surplus copies may carry a publisher's marker line on a page edge and light shelfwear. The text and illustrations are complete and unaffected, and we would rather tell you up front than have you discover it.

Our Take
A styling book rather than a care manual, from a Tokyo garden stylist who treats dried stems and driftwood as seriously as anything still growing. Room by room, and refreshingly unbothered about whether a plant is thriving or simply looks good in the corner. Out of print, so these are the copies that exist.
