That sun-drenched feeling of a perfect holiday shouldn’t have to go away when you get back home. Taking inspiration from road trips, beach houses, boutique hotels and long lazy summers on the coast, Sydney stylist Mr Jason Grant shows you how to style your spaces to capture that holiday feeling in your own home in his forthcoming second book, Holiday at Home. I’m looking forward to picking up some tips on the return from my own travel adventures!

Holiday at Home, out in September, published by Hardie Grant

A follow-up to last year’s A Place Called Home, it’s brimming with inspiration and tips for making your outdoor spaces feel like your own private resort, laid back entertaining, using colour to create those vacation vibes, and upcycling found and secondhand items. Out early September, Holiday at Home is your creative guide to turning your living spaces into your own little patches of paradise.

We’ve been lucky enough to get to share this video behind the scenes with you today:

If you follow Jason on Instagram, you’ll know he loves the beach. Born in Tasmania, but growing up in Melbourne where his career began, it seems he found his spiritual home in Sydney’s Bondi. Fascinated by colour and nature from a young age, he is always looking for new ways to express his creativity.

Jason has styled for many Australian and international magazines including Inside Out, Belle, House and Garden, Real Living, Vogue Living, Elle Decoration and Livingetc and has his own range with Murobond Paints.

The sunny images in this book are by Lauren Bamford, a Melbourne-based photographer, specialising in food, lifestyle, interiors and documentary.

The book is published by Hardie Grant in Australia. It is also being published by Rizzoli in America under the alternative title Away at Home. We’re looking forward to getting our hands on a review copy to share with you very soon!

Keep in touch with Jason’s blog.

Video music and editing by Keith Mason, cinematography by Lauren Bamford.

“We have a few little coffee tables we use together as a little collection. You will find books (Monocle) and magazines (a mix of interior and fashion) a Palm Beach/Blacklist Daisy candle, crystals, Sophia our Boston terrier’s new lead from Best in Park, a gold dish from Crate and Barrel and a copy of my book manuscript.”

We love how relaxed and real MJG’s coffee table is! His second book, Away at Home, published by Hardie Grant, is out in September.

Check out all our other featured coffee tables here.

Tomorrow I’m off to the Sydney launch of stylist Jason Grant’s first book, A Place Called Home, so it’s about time I reviewed it for you!

If you know MJG, or follow him on social media, you’ll know this is a project that has taken over his life for a good year. Luckily he is DELIGHTED with how it turned out and I can see why. It feels like if Jason was a book, this would be it.

It’s light on words and heavy on beautiful images by photographer James Geer. And let’s face it, who has time to actually read their coffee table books anyway?! I actually devoured this book in one enjoyable afternoon, but it’s the sort of book you’ll want to dip back in and out of on rainy afternoons, especially as its many photos of the beach and Bondi will bring back memories of summer.

Jason is a well known freelance interior stylist and was previously style director of Real Living, who he still works for, alongside almost every other Australian homes magazine. He was also one of the very first people I interviewed for Interiors Addict! Jason has his own paint ranges for Murobond and recently styled Freedom’s new winter collection for its catalogue and advertising.

1. American heavyweights Pottery Barn, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma are all hitting Australian shores for the first time ever and opening in Bondi, date to be confirmed.

2. The Block All Stars starts in the New Year featuring four favourite double acts from previous series. I’ve already had a look around the houses in Bondi and I can’t wait to see how they all turn out. In my opinion, they can’t fail to sell for a small fortune!
