Making a home more sustainable can feel overwhelming, mostly because the advice usually arrives all at once. Christine Liu breaks it down room by room instead, taking the living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom in turn, so you can change one space at a time rather than overhaul everything.

Key Features
  • Eighteen projects. Step-by-step, not just principles.
  • Room by room. Living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom in turn.
  • Swaps and habits. Practical changes alongside the bigger projects.
  • The author. Written by the maker behind the blog and channel Snapshots of Simplicity.
  • Format. A 160-page hardback, photographed throughout.
Pūrē Standard
  • The closest thing to a manual for what we stock. The same room-by-room, swap-by-swap approach we take to a low-tox home, set out by someone who has actually done it. That is exactly why we brought it in.
  • Projects, not guilt. Eighteen things you can genuinely make or change, rather than a list of everything you are doing wrong.
  • Paper and board throughout. No plastic jacket, no shrink wrap, nothing to peel off and bin.
  • A book, not a consumable. Nothing in it wears out, and it is the sort that gets lent and handed on rather than thrown away.
