Living on the remote island of Mull has inspired Banjo Beale to be resourceful inventive and
original—which he calls his Wild Island Style. Mindful of the environment and budget in
everything he creates and combining vintage finds with clever design he re-purposes the old
and re-imagines it into something new. From contemporary to classic his spaces are
characterful curated and conscious. His spaces tell a story about the people who inhabit
them. In his first book Banjo wants to encourage people to give design a go and create their
own style by thinking outside the box. Don’t defer to the homewares brands to redecorate—from
our backyards to scrapyards mudlarking to marketplaces masterpieces sit in waiting. It just
takes imagination a sense of adventure and a little bit of courage to make it happen. The
re-purpose and reuse revolution has already begun with more people turning to Facebook
Marketplace to buy swap and sell than ever before Antique Fairs are attracting a new
generation of collectors and curators and Instagram stores are popping up everyday with
curated collections aimed at an audience who are looking for something unique to express their
identity. No matter your style from budget bougi to boho nouveau this book will uncover
universal ideas that you can easily implement into your next design. This is an accessible
bible to creating authentic cost-effective interiors.
