'Susanna's book is a quiet breath in a busy world and a deeply soothing and inspiring guide to anyone seeking to bring more peace, warmth and quiet joy into their home. Through thoughtful interiors, it captures the Finnish approach to happiness - one rooted in calm, simplicity and a deep respect for the spaces we live in. Each page feels like an invitation to slow down and appreciate the gentle power of light, soft textures and understated design.' Paula Sutton, Hill House Vintage

'Kotoisa, the Finnish word we never knew we needed, perfectly explains the art of creating the feeling of home via our everyday objects and the memories they bring. This gorgeous book is vital reading for anyone who cares about the things they live with and how to arrange them.' Kate Watson-Smyth, Mad About the House

'Technically speaking, kotoisa translates to something like "cosy" or "homely", but as anyone who's lived it knows, that barely scratches the surface. Kotoisa isn't about plush throws and designer lights, although it can include those. It's about emotional warmth - the kind that seeps in quietly, unnoticed at first, but deeply comforting...Kotoisa is also a quiet rebellion against the constant pursuit of newness and perfection. In a world that tells us to upgrade and reinvent - kotoisa reminds us to notice what's already here. To work with what we have. To find joy in the old wooden spoon, the blanket with the worn edges, the chair that squeaks a little when you lean back but always catches you just right.' Susanna Laiho Hawkins

In her first book, The Nurturing Home, Finnish-born Susanna Laiho Hawkins shows how taking inspiration from the concept of 'Kotoisa' can transform both your home, your happiness levels and the way you live your life, one small step at a time.

The book encourages you to embrace imperfection, declutter and rearrange, make the most of the light and flow of your home and bring nature and the seasons indoors. Susanna then explores a kotoisa approach to every room in the house to create a truly welcoming and nurturing home.
