The book Susanna Laiho Hawkins' 1.1 million followers have been waiting for - a guide to the transformative power of the Finnish concept of 'kotoisa' and how to apply it to every room in your home.“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.
