No Place Like Home: Creating Timeless Spaces, Made For Living

Create a home that flows, functions and truly feels like you.  

With over two decades of experience, interior designer Jojo Barr (Founder and Creative Director of House Nine) is passionate about crafting authentic and timeless interiors that people can actually live in. Drawing on House Nine projects, and complete with stunning full-color photography, Jojo shares her human-focused approach to design, so you can have a home that is unmistakably yours.   

Rather than prescribing a single style or aesthetic, Jojo breaks down the design process into clear, approachable ideas, exploring:  

• Flow and connection between rooms, and how this shapes the experience of moving through a home.  
• Designing with purpose, ensuring every space supports how you live.   
• The use of color, tone, and texture to build harmony while allowing each room its own personality.  
• How to balance cohesion and individuality so a home feels connected without becoming uniform.  
• Layering materials and finishes to add depth. 
• Creating lived‑in interiors that embrace imperfection and evolve over time.  

Structured to mirror the natural journey of creating a home—from early inspiration and planning to curating, living, and sharing—this book pairs Jojo’s House Nine philosophy with real projects and photography designed both to inspire and enjoy.  
   
Whether you’re redesigning a single room, rethinking your entire house, or simply spending time with interiors you love, this book explores how to create a home that looks beautiful and works for the life lived inside it. A timeless coffee table book for real living.
