The ever so talented Tim Neve has recently published his wonderful book, Sandcastles. In this beautifully illustrated book, he explores the many variations of coastal interior style, while giving readers a realistic way of achieving the style in their own homes. Tim also demonstrates how to create mood boards and colour palettes, and use statement pieces and found objects to create a personal design style that fits your space. 

Tim has a BDA (Design) from the National Institute of Dramatic Arts in Costume Design, and is editor of the successful national publication Australian Coastal Home magazine. He has spent most of the past decade using these skills in styling, producing and writing features for magazine publications including Real Living, Home Ideas, Country Home Ideas and Modern Home. 

With Tim's experience and knowledge in the interiors industry, it is an honour for our prints to be included in Sandcastles. We adore the way he has styles our ever so popular flamingos print pictured below.

We also love how Tim used the Meccano print in a subtle way, adding texture and depth to this seaside escape.

Our Khiva print is a great addition to the space below. It works well with the clashing prints and red undertones that can be seen in the space.
