Veranda Best New Design Book to Buy in 2025: "If you are looking for a quintessentially British design book, look no further than renowned designer Nicola Harding’s whimsical debut. Each page shows readers how to put together a home that evokes a sense of belonging, with lessons on mixing vibrant colors and luxurious fabrics, as well as incorporating antiques and furnishings that illustrate craftsmanship."
“When it came to infusing personality, Harding didn't hold back. [She] knows what it means to make a house feel like home. As the daughter of a helicopter pilot, she moved frequently, living in the U.S., Germany, and across the UK. “Creating that feeling of home for myself became hugely important,” she says—this sentiment now defines her approach to every project. It's also incorporated into her first monograph, Homing Instinct.” — Elle Decor
"When one of the most notable English interior designers working today publishes her first book, it’s a must-have. Harding is a master, producing vibrant yet comfortable interiors all rooted in the personal. She has trained her eye on stand-out residential projects for the well-heeled and well-known, but also on hotels, private clubs, and restaurants. No matter the venue, it feels like the best version of home. For that reason, “Nicola Harding: Homing Instinct,” by Nicola Harding and Busola Evans ($60), is a must-read." — Mansion Global (NYC)
"British designer Nicola Harding's first book showcases her quintessentially English style. Her homes are both cozy and vibrant, equally suited for the British countryside or storybooks. She deftly melds old and new, whether that's a client's existing pieces or vintage finds, but makes it all look cohesive and quite charming. —AG" — Elle Decor
